WHAT'S THE LATEST WITH KARINA

I’m kicking off this update from the Italian coast (well… mentally, at least).

I’m heading to Italy soon for a much-needed week of sun, wine, pasta, and catching up with some author pals — and yes, I fully intend to get some words in while I’m there. This year has been absolutely bananas, so this trip is my chance to slow down, breathe, and recharge before the chaos of book releases hits.

Speaking of chaos, Claws of Chaos is coming next month and I could not be more excited for you to dive back into Ren’s world. This book is packed with werewolf drama, pack politics, and so many twists that I can’t wait to see your reactions.

And because I can never sit still, I’m officially going back to where it all began with a brand-new series in the Mackenzie Grey universe! Book one is called Bastard of the Alpha — and if you think you know what you’re walking into, you don’t. This one is dark, gritty, swoony, and will shake up everything you thought you knew about this world. Blurb and cover reveal are coming later this year, so stay tuned.

Oh, and I’m still working on the Mackenzie Grey 10-Year Anniversary Anthology, which is shaping up to be a love letter to all of you who have stuck with Mackenzie from the beginning — join my Patreon if you want sneak peeks and early access. And as if that wasn’t enough,

I’m back in the classroom this semester teaching two college composition classes. Teaching Gen Z is honestly a riot — they keep me on my toes and give me way too much inspiration for witty dialogue. Between traveling, writing, teaching, and plotting new worlds, it’s been a whirlwind, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
