When I first sat down to write Granted: Curse of the Emerald Jinn, I had no idea how much it would change my life. It wasn’t just the first book I ever wrote—it was the story that taught me how to be a writer. It shaped my voice, challenged my creativity, and brought a little bit of magic into my world.
Now, years later, I’m thrilled to share that this special story is getting a fresh start with a brand-new book cover and audiobook refresh!
For those who might be new to Granted, it’s perfect for fans of YA fantasy looking for something magical to devour. Here’s a quick peek into the adventure:
Sixteen-year-old Liam Covington is the only one who sees colorful shadows following him around school. They're brightest whenever someone messes with him. That's why Liam lives by a short code: keep a low profile, stay away from the colors, and don't talk to Kenna Berlin.
But today Kenna saved his life. And he just made enemies with the biggest jock in school. And worst of all, the strange conch shell he brought home from the dunes today is making the colors brighter.
A Fresh New Look
As part of this relaunch, I teamed up with the incredibly talented Kaelin John (the original cover designer) to give the covers an update. Kaelin did an amazing job keeping the essence of the original design while breathing new life into the visuals. The updated covers capture the magic and intrigue of the story so beautifully—What do you think? Leave a comment!

What This Book Means to Me
While this may have been my first written novel, it was the fourth story I had published. I’ll always treasure it as the book that started my journey as an author. It taught me resilience (check out my blog post on rejection letters here), growth, and how to trust the process of storytelling. I’m so excited to share this new edition with readers, and I can’t wait to hear what you think.
Thank you so much for supporting me and my work. Whether this is your first time stepping into Liam’s world or you’re revisiting it, I hope it brings a little magic into your life, just like it did mine.
