I often get asked if my books are “clean.” Since everyone defines clean differently, that’s a difficult question to answer. I can’t say whether I write your definition of clean books, but I do write closed-door books, meaning no on-page steam.
For more detailed information on each series, I’ve created this content guide.
I would like to point out that I have moved away from Young Adult in the last few years, and I’m now writing for an adult audience. So while my books are still “cleaner,” I personally wouldn’t recommend them for young teen readers, and definitely not for middle-school-aged. If in doubt, please read them before you give them to your kids.
