The Story Behind the Press
Through the Fire Press is my independent publishing arm, and it's home to romance in all its forms. From inspirational cowboy stories and fairytale retellings to contemporary romance, suspense, and everything in between, there's a place here for your story.
I've spent years navigating the publishing world. From Love Inspired to indie releases, I've learned a lot along the way, and I built Through the Fire Press to help fellow authors bring their stories into the world without having to figure it all out alone.
Whether you need an editor who truly gets your genre or you're just starting out on your self-publishing journey, you've found your people.
