Welcome to my new micro newsletters! A quick way to share a peak into what I’m up to across all my platforms! 💖

Can someone explain to me why we are writing 5th-8th grade reading level style books for adult consumption?

What if I want 12th grade reading level complexities with smut? Why can’t I have that? 😂

It’s Dark Romantic Suspense 😊

Thank you Ana! Not yet, I’m a few months away from that. I am going to try to query first and see what happens.

I had another Beta reader finish my Manuscript today and send me a voice note telling me how good my book is and begging me to self publish if I don’t get a trad pub deal.

She’s the second one to explicitly say she’s got a book hangover from my book 🥹🥳.

Jonathan, it’s too late in the week for me to show that kind of effort. That takes too much energy. 😂

Happy anniversary! 🥳

💯💯🤌 my husband jokes I’ve rented it so much I could own at least 300 copies of it by now 😂

Basically the inspiration for every scene I write. 😂🥳

Queen coming through, folks! 👑

What Betas are saying about my Manuscript. 🥰🥳 #writingcommunity

Betas are starting to dig in…

When you finally start getting along with the guy you’re living with and he decides to tease you about your nearly life-long hero worship of him…

Text from hubs: “Hey pretty lady, how’s your quest going?”

Yes, I did in fact marry the MMC folks.

But what if it says… “You probably won’t like this, but you’re about to fall in love with a questionable character.”

A 4-slide graphic titled “An Agent’s Guide to Everything I Gave Her”. Each slide features a foggy forest background with layered white text. Slide 1: Text reads: “An Agent’s Guide to Everything I Gave Her” followed by: “89k words | Upmarket Psychological Suspense by Tiffany Darling.”

Slide 2: Same foggy forest background. Text reads: Pitch “When eight-year-old Lacey Carson finds her mother dead on the kitchen floor, something inside her fractures. Uprooted to a new town with a grieving, distant father, she latches onto the first person who shows her warmth—Emily Harper, a precocious classmate with a big heart and an even bigger need to help. What begins as innocent friendship festers into decades of obsession, manipulation, and a love so warped it leaves one girl dead, and the other wondering if she even knows how to survive a life without her.”

Slide 3: Same background. Title: Comps Left side shows the cover of Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, with the words: “Complex female relationships Motherhood Buried secrets Slow burn Emotional depth” Right side shows the cover of The Push by Ashley Audrain, with the words: “Unsettling Emotionally charged Navigates maternal instinct Psychological unraveling Fear”

Slide 4: Same back ground. Text that reads “Dual POV / Nonlinear timeline Character-driven psychological suspense A slow burn that simmers... then detonates.

If you’re an agent who loved the twisting depths of the true crime Scamanda podcast and want that kind of suspense in fiction, Everything I Gave Her might be for you.
The deeper you go, the more it twists.

Fate and her atrocities

The pitch: She reads minds; he sows thoughts into them. It’s a cruel twist by the Goddess of Fate that makes them-- and only them-- impervious to the other’s ability. To protect those she owes everything to, she’ll have to kill him. Yet with each try, it only gets harder. Has Fate given her a blessing or a curse?

The tropes: moon-based magic, enemies-to-lovers, chronic pain rep, found family, mythology

The comps: Curious Tide by Pascale Lacelle (unique magic), The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon (complex characters), When the Moon Hatches by Sarah A. Parker (dark yet ethereal vibes)

In the words of my therapist, “whats the worst thing that could happen?”

*me listing all my tragic paranoid thoughts that are probably some phobia he hasn’t told me about yet*

Him: “Now, what’s the best thing that could happen?”

*hits send*

Background: A frosted red forest in winter Title Card Text: An Agent's Guide To: The Daughter and the Nameless Son by Kelton Davis | Adult Fantasy | 100k Words | Querying Now!

Background: A frosted red forest in winter Foreground: Six images surrounding a quote (from clockwise): A sunset, a hammer striking hot metal, a red-red arrow fletching, a red-haired archer, a grizzled old man, a red forest. Text: As she walked away, freshly divested of every life she'd ever known—Crown Daughter, ranger, loyal servant to the demesne—she realized that, where she expected to find fear and despair, she found only a rapidly strengthening resolve. She'd already lost everything. All she could do was win it back.

Background: A frosted red forest in winter Title: Comps Images: Covers of GODKILLER by Hannah Kaner, THE JUSTICE OF KINGS by Richard Swan, and THE BONE SHARD DAUGHTER by Andrew Stewart. Arrows connect similarities between comps. Text: From GODKILLER: Cross-Country Quest to Forbidden Land, Surrogate Parenthood (shared with THE JUSTICE OF KINGS) From BONE SHARD DAUGHTER: Disgraced Heir, Strong FMC (shared with both others)

Background: A frosted red forest in winter Title: Pitch Text: Niozene has never been good enough. As daughter and crown heir to the Mother, a living goddess and ruler of her country, perfection is the only standard she’s ever known. Yet, despite her flawless scholar’s education and a polished career as a ranger, Niozene has failed to convince the Mother to look past her greatest flaw—she lacks the holy power to control the minds of others that ordains her family as living gods with divine right to rule. When a shape-changing assassin nearly kills the Mother on Niozene’s watch, she is stripped of her titles and given an ultimatum: return with the assassin’s head, or face excommunication from both her homeland and the afterlife. Desperate, she accepts the task as a final chance to prove herself and show the Mother she deserves a place as her daughter. Allowed only the help of Sonsan, a surly tracker and criminal also facing excommunication, Niozene dreads that she may have lost her chance at redemption before she has even left home. But when Sonsan reveals that he shares the same strange shape-changing power as the assassin, Niozene realizes his assignment to accompany her is more than coincidence. As they track the assassin deep into a forbidden land, confronting demons, ancient magic, and the ghosts that haunt their dreams and blood, they must uncover the truth behind their quest—and the buried history neither knew they shared—if they wish to live to see their promised redemption.
