One detective running from her past, another running from himself.
After faking her death and running for her life, Detective Evelyn Hale takes refuge in Defiance, Missouri, where a surge of violent crime has the town on edge. Suspicious of her circumstances and haunted by his own ghosts, her new partner, Conrad Kendry, wants her gone. But try as he might to convince everyone otherwise, he needs her help.
A string of vandalisms promise two things: chaos and destruction. Kendry fears they’ll soon grow violent, and he’s out of leads—and chances. Rumors swirl around the precinct that the higher ups are looking for any excuse to fire the angry son of their late Police Chief, despite his stellar conviction rates.
They both have one chance—one case—to put aside their differences and make this partnership work. Will they reconcile their differences and learn to trust each other before time runs out, and these crimes turn bloody?
Deviant Vandals is book one in The Detectives of Defiance, a romantic mystery series perfect for those who like true crime documentaries, crime procedurals (like NBC’s Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, CBS’ NCIS, ABC’s The Rookie, and Fox’s Bones), and a slow-burn romance that leaves you begging for more. Each book brings a new case, which will lead Evelyn and Conrad down the winding path of conspiracy and corruption in pursuit of the serial killer who tried to take Evelyn’s life—if they can learn to trust each other first.

She never believed "love at first sight" could happen to her. And when he winked his cerulean blues in her direction, it seemed too good to be true. But the fluttering in her stomach wasn't butterflies - it was red flags. And she should have known the difference.
Love Like a Storm is the fictional, poetic story of lovers gone from sickly sweet to sour. Follow her into the eye of the storm, through love, abuse, heartache, and healing.
Where there is trust, there will be Carnage.
Written for anyone haunted by the ghosts in their past, Carnage dives headfirst into the effects trauma and betrayal have on a sensitive heart. In Part One, Malin digs deep into that agony, fear, and suffering, resurrecting all the grisly emotions people bury. In Part Two, she tells the poetic story of her own metamorphosis - how she moved on from her misery and transformed it into art.
The Art of Starving is the compelling and courageous account of this poet's life-long battle with an eating disorder.
These poems paint a vivid picture of the daily struggles in recovery: crippling body dysmorphia, the depression and hopelessness of low self-esteem, the frustration of relearning how to connect with your own emotions, and the deep desire for the freedom recovery promises.
With candid, ruthless, and artfully grotesque poems like “Gifted”, “Buried Alive”, and her popular piece “Body Hater”, this collection of poetry is the most vulnerable and honest I have ever been.
A compilation of poems about betrayal and coping with grief,
Bone Weaving is a quick, emotionally-gripping read that will break your heart and show you how to put it back together.
Divided into two short chapters, she takes you on a powerful and profound journey of being broken and abandoned by someone else, and finding the healing you need within yourself.
At only 65 pages, this gorgeous chapbook of poetry will be the perfect addition to your bookshelf.
Kissing Catastrophe is not simply a collection of poems. It explores the nuances and complexities of the age-old, hard-to-answer question: how can I love others when I can't love myself?
Self-love is a concept the poet has always had difficulty grasping, whereas loving others has always come naturally. Kissing Catastrophe tackles this internal battle in two parts: The Kiss, and The Catastrophe. She ultimately draws the conclusion that no matter her past, no matter her pain, she is worthy of unconditional love.
Kissing Catastrophe is a relatable, introspective must-read for anyone struggling to find love within themselves in the aftermath of love gone horribly wrong.
"Flames Speak" is my debut book, published in December 2020. This collection of poetry grabs you by the hand and walks you through her many whirlwinds of love, mental illness, betrayal, and heartbreak.
Dark, powerful, and captivating, "Flames Speak" is the physical representation of how she learned to speak for herself when everything tried to water her down.
