about Me
Hi, I’m Cali!
Thanks for stopping by my site. My debut novel, You Can Call Me Cooper, an MM YA romantic comedy, published by Deep Hearts YA, was released in May 2024. My second book, Froderick, Gay Son of Dracula, was released in August 2024, it's also an MM YA romantic comedy, published by Deep Hearts YA. My most recent release is Cookies, Candles, and Cute Butts for Christmas, which I co-wrote with my bestie Craig Gibb (pen-name Cameron D. James), it's a super spicy, MM Adult, Christmas Rom-Com, published by Deep Desires Press.
​
I live in a very sunny state with my amazing husband and daughters, and I enjoy making people smile. I try to bring a little bit of my Cali sunshine and energy wherever I go. I believe that love is for everyone and I've found my newest passion in writing. I absolutely love writing - I'm having so much fun! Other hobbies include watching Anime, reading Manga, baking, and I’m an avid gamer in all forms: console, tabletop, strategy card games…Magic the Gathering is probably my favorite strategy card game. Console wise - I couldn't begin to choose a favorite :)
​
I also love meeting people and I’m usually down with hopping on a stream to play games or just for chatting – but not now – I’m writing my next book; a super steamy pirate novel.
​
Me and my bestie, who is also my editor and Co-Owner of the publishing house, have a super fun Podcast called "Cali and Craig Talk..." We're usually talking about books, butts, or bundt cakes...we don't take things too seriously. We have a ton of episodes with other authors, and lots of great advice for new writers, along with inside looks at what it's like at the publishing house. We have a bunch of fun baking episodes, too. You can hear us on all major podcast networks.
