Hello. Good evening. Who loves an anti-heroine? I know I do. So I decided to write one. She’s going to be unapologetic, extremely smart and maybe a bit terrifying. I already love her 🥰😏

After I finish this second novel I’m writing, I feel like I want to write a rainbow, sunshiney Black romance that’s equal parts smouldering and hilarious.
