Book Excerpt from The Fall of the Codex

Since I’ve been hard at work getting the edits done on The Fall of the Codex, I thought I’d share a fun *unedited* book excerpt! There are SO MANY SUPERPOWERS in this book, y’all, which was so fun to write. This excerpt gives you a little taste of that — plus, you get to see my OG couple, Grady and Kayla, do their thing again. Which is always good, right?

(Spoiler alert: If you haven't read The Secret of the Codex yet, there are a few light spoilers here, but nothing that will ruin the story. Just wanted you to be aware. 😉)

Enjoy!

Thanksgiving Excerpt (The Prophecy of the Codex)

Did you know that The Prophecy of the Codex takes place over Thanksgiving?

So to celebrate the holiday, I thought I’d drop in an excerpt that references it!

Enjoy!

The Prophecy of the Codex Book Excerpt

Kayla and the rest of the Four, along with Na-um and Holun, met an hour later in the mess tent, early enough that the lunch crowd hadn’t shown up yet. Though there wouldn’t be much of a “crowd” anyway—staffing for the dig was light this late in the fall semester. Most had already gone home for Thanksgiving, which was only a few days away.

First Chapter of Honestly Always You

As often happens with book ideas that won’t let me go, the first chapter of Honestly Always You started writing itself in my head when I woke up one morning, so I knew I had to open my computer and get it down! I’m so glad I did — I love how it turned out!

Since Honestly Always You is releasing later this month, I thought I’d give you an extended excerpt from the book: the first chapter! I think it sets up the story nicely — and the drama! (Content Warning: Expect a little mild language in this excerpt. The book has stronger language and adult content.)

Enjoy!
