*checks Rose's Wrath's publication date* *sees it was March of 2020* Well, it's been a while, I'll admit that. Rose's Wrath was published to positive feedback and a deep love for many of the characters! Due to many different things, the next book, Rose's Ruin, has been MIA.

Rantish Ramblings | You’re Still a Writer and I Hope You Know That
I stared at my laptop screen for what felt like the third time all year. And yet, the Google Docs page remained blank. Come on, I thought. How could I have just stopped writing?

Why Writing Multiple Novels Can Be Overwhelming… But Rewarding
Hello, readers! I am Oceane and I am actively writing four novels. Yay! I'm the kind of person to have lofty, somewhat unattainable goals that I strive to see through.

Why I Plan to Pursue Traditional Publishing and Why Both Routes are Valid
