New Book Photos
Moving on feels nice. Since I finished writing Under the Aurora Sky, I officially released it (in both e-book and paperback!). I have been working on transitioning back to the story I worked on during last year’s NaNoWriMo alternative. I’ve found that I’m struggling a bit with shifting gears from Aurora to my WIP, so…

Men as Dogs – Part 1
If you’re in the reader circles on social media, you’ve probably heard different book boyfriends described as different breeds of dogs, but not everyone is very familiar with dog breeds, so sometimes these descriptions don’t always tell us much.

Amazon Boycott and the Impact on Indie Authors

In Case You’ve Ever Wondered What A Real-Life Age Gap Romance Is Like
My husband and I have been together for nearly 18 years now, and I have never really given a whole lot of thought to the fact that there’s nearly a decade between us (it’s technically only 8 3/4 years, but who’s counting, right?) because the two of us have always just fit so well together….

Becoming a Bestselling Author!
So I definitely wasn’t expecting to get the title of Bestselling Author as an early Christmas gift, but here we are! I participated in a marketing event with my short story, Awakening, from December 20-22, and was so excited to see how many people were downloading the book, as well as reading through Kindle Unlimited!

Tinsel & TBRs Stuff Your Kindle Event
I don’t think most people realize that there are more than just 4 “Stuff Your Kindle Day” events each year! Multiple different groups put these events on, and they can span all different genres, not just romance! Today happens to be one of those events, put on by the wonderful people at The Romance Riot….

At the end of August, my husband and I put in an offer on a small piece of land a few miles from where we currently live. On Labor Day, after some negotiations and a little hardball, the seller accepted our offer. Throughout the month we were very busy with making plans, getting things set…
