This won't be a secret for very long, so I'm sharing the side project I've had in the works for the past month. Some of you may be familiar with the romance novel I released shortly after Silver Hollow. Stay is a fantasy romance, largely taking place in a modern American metropolis. It's a love...

Execution in E Mystery Series Spotlight
Welcome back, everyone! I hope you're holding together with me through the general madness happening in the world. As I work online and for a small international company, I've had a very unique perspective as the current crisis unfolded. More on that later, though. You're not here to hear yet another chat about the things... Continue Reading →
Teaser Tuesday: Wylder Tales
On a whim, just before the country decided to lose it's collective sanity, I started revising the first in my Wylder Tales Series. While my main writerly focus continues to rest with Blackbriar Cove, I'm also at the point in my story where I can't share teasers without major spoilers. So, for my amusement and our fun,...

Book Review: Blue Skies by Anne Bustard
It's time for another dazzling five-star review, y'all. Trust me when I say I do not adore every book I read. What I have become quite proficient at, over the years instead, is when to say no. I say no to books I don't think I have the chance to love or appreciate. I always... Continue Reading →

Welcome back y'all! I just realized this is my 600th post for this blog (wow).

Book Review: Rio Ruidoso by Preston Lewis
Sometimes a good book carries you right where you didn't know you should be going. It's ironic, the journeys we can take alongside our characters. I savored Rio Ruidoso, over the past month, while also dealing with some real life struggles. As I've been forced to regroup and double down in my work, I craved... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Finding Esme by Suzanne Crowley
While my #writinglife has taken a bit of detour this year, I’m excited to share my favorite read of 2020 so far! I know, I know, you’re probably thinking, what about the other ten and half months of the year? To which I would reply, “I’m old enough, and have been around this business long enough to simply know what’s golden.” And let me tell you, Finding Esme is a diamond in the rough.
2020 Publishing Sabbatical
Neither of us is giving up by any means. Instead of letting the news keep him down, I'm so proud to say he's been working just as hard to become better and apply again. But it has also put a major shift on my #writinglife trajectory for 2020.
