I’m feeling…okay about things, folks. Copyedits on TEMPT ME are wrapping up, and I’m excited to dive back into the manuscript. I’ve already written and posted Jamila and Natalie’s bonus epilogue, so that little bundle of extra HEA is...

Book-ban Bullshit

Props to romance author April White for the cool T-shirt! It’s time to get political again, Friend. Look, I’m sorry. I hate it, too. I’d love it if I could just stay home and read and write romance novels in peace. But now they’re coming for us. “Parental rights”...

Can I see the light at the end of my Revision Hell tunnel? I got TEMPT ME back from my beta readers, and I spent Easter Sunday in a hotel room making the suggested revisions. I need to do one more read-through, and then it’ll be ready to send to my brand-new...

Revising is a slog, y’all. When I can’t see the wordcount piling up, when some days I actually cut words, when I look at the same passages over and over again, it feels like I’m going nowhere. But looking back to where I was only a month ago, I can...

It’s only 17 days into the new year, and I’m already feeling the pressure. This year, I’ve got two competing priorities: writing more words and leveling up. I’ve committed to writing three new projects this year (and would love to add a fourth,...

Happy New Year!

I hope you enjoyed any holidays you chose to celebrate. I took a trip to see my daughter in California and celebrated missing the bomb cyclone that hit the eastern U.S. We also celebrated Hanukkah with (gasp!) an electric menorah in our hotel room. I know, it’s not...
