“If even one person falls in love with my book, I’ll be happy.”
That’s what I told my husband the day Gambit was released. After years of investing time, energy, and passion into a story that came straight from my heart, I knew that if even one reader ended up loving it, the whole thing would be worth it.
Know what’s cool about working with the team at REUTS?
You get to be deeply involved in the publication process. From edits and tag lines to trailers and cover design, an author’s opinions and feedback are taken into consideration.

You know the Red Mountains were named for the bloodshed that took place there. You know her village lies in the ruins of Glasgow, and that a fierce storm boundary separates the desolate Outlying Lands from the advanced Core city that was formerly London.
