Welcome to my Blog! Here you’ll find posts about my life, inspiration I find on the way, and of course, writing updates, excerpts, and cover reveals! I’ll even be reviewing books I read (if you’re here for movies I’m into, check Monster thoughts). Grab your tea (or coffee) and stay awhile!

Happy November!

As I said on my Instagram post:

And I shall do my best to hold true to it despite my many days at work and soon classes at Uni.

I woke up to some great news from my friend and awesome author, Jamie Mason, who has started The Dark World and loves it.

Just a few short pages into THE DARK WORLD (Book 1) and I’m already hooked. I’m not much of a vampire guy, but this is pretty good stuff. Looking forward to reading the rest. Thanks, Sheron!
— Jamie Mason

Isn’t that such great news?! I’m glad everyone’s who’s read it is enjoying it thus far. It really makes me breath a sigh of relief, you know? To know that someone’s work is being read and enjoyed is validating as hell.


I know we’re not to write for ‘everyone else’ but it DOES help me, at least, with knowing that what I thought and felt others would enjoy (because I, myself enjoyed writing it and reading it) holds true. I hold onto my intuition and don’t let it fade that way. I like to think of myself as someone who knows marketing or at least has a natural feel for it.

I guess we’ll see once the first book is out February 26th, won’t we?!

‘Till then, stay tuned!

The New Year & A New Focus On My Vampires
I'm choosing, with this round of storytelling, to dive into 'harder topics,' and things I want to write about. I want to give my worlds more nuance, my characters more stakes, and hopefully more heart. I write for everyone but I cannot deny my experiences--Black experiences--are what have shaped me and should shape my writing. I'm adamant about this because of the erasure of my Black characters in THE DARK WORLD series by white readers.
The Tales of Sinner Sharpe: Dark Waters
‘THE TALES OF SINNER SHARPE: DARK WATERS’ Excerpt: Bats
This helped shape the nature of the story: Sinner is an outcast from this island. He has no magical ability, same as all from Othril, and when on the mainland, this lack of magical ability is apparent—he is ostracized not only because of his physical dark features, but his inability.
Gothic Horror And Inspiration
It was always my intention as of late, with Sinner Sharpe to delve into the horror he's facing--not physical horror--at least not yet, but the mental horror. He's seeing horrific visions, he's losing large gaps of time, he's being attacked on his ship (an already enclosed space) for weeks.
DRACULA is (finally) out in E-Book Format!
If you haven't opened your email by now (and why aren't you subscribed to the newsletter, yet?) then you don't know that DRACULA: Book 6, the final book in The Dark World series has been released!
