I took a hiatus from writing and publishing when things became overwhelming, but I’m back. I’m writing again and having a wonderful time with it—I hope to have some new stories for you to read soon.
I also have this shiny new website. Rebuilding it gave me a good excuse to update the design. I went with purples and blues since my newer covers are in those colours. My books had red and black covers once upon a time, but I love the purples and blues. That meant new covers for the nine Plume stories, too. I’ve set up the newsletter sign-up again, which was a little less easy but is done. (Phew.) Note that I have a slightly different domain name this time, so if you were reading my books and/or following me before, please update your bookmarks.
I’m going to steer clear of social media in the short term to keep my focus on writing. I’m always happy to hear from you, but you’ll need to comment here for me to see it.
Republishing my books is a big job, since (again) it’s a good chance to update the interiors and the descriptions. I’ve republished The Plume, The Wedding and Euphoria so far. I’ll post here when the books in each series are uploaded and will add links to the book pages when they’re live at the portals.
I’m writing a new story which reminds me a bit of The Plume, with a big cast of characters and lots of hot scenes. There’s a love triangle and many emotional complications to the participants expect to be simple pleasure. I’m really enjoying this story, and am going to write it all before publishing even the first bit (even though it will likely be serialized). Once that’s done and I feel like I’ve found my center again, I’ll have a look at the stories that need to be finished. The Phoenix has one more story left to be told (at least) and Euphoria has three more books outstanding – I even have the covers already! – so I’ll re-read everything and make a plan.
It feels really good to be writing again. I hope you missed me and my books a little bit 🙂 and am looking forward to new fictional adventures.
Glad you’re back! I’ve also been off social media (FB,etc), much happier

Hi Kimberly – I started to make audiobooks with The Best Man, using AI-narration. You can find information about that on the Audio page, right here:

Hi Kimberly –
Thanks for your enthusiasm. I won’t be putting any of the books in audio, though. It’s time to hang up my keyboard.
