WELCOME TO MY STAND-ALONES
My stand-alone books are the books I have to write – they don’t fit into a series, but I can’t get the characters or stories out of my head. Sometimes, my stand-alone ends up becoming part of a series because I can’t stop writing about the characters or I get a new idea that fits into the universe. Each book is different. Check out the descriptions to find the right one for you!
