One of the first blogs I wrote last year was called The strange thing about grief, and here I find myself talking about it again in a much more raw and intense way. So, in case you couldn’t tell from my last two blogs, my brother died this weekend. It was a...

Two days ago, I finally finished writing Harrison’s Wedding. To celebrate, I made a (non-comprehensive) list of 15 things I would rather have done than write that book. Without further ado… Have a grasshopper crawl into my ear and have it pulled out with...

CW: Suicidal ideation *** SPOILERS BELOW *** It’s strange to think that this book is finally finished. It feels like forever ago that I started writing The Album…probably because it was. I definitely thought that writing Gabriel’s version would be...

I’m…having a moment. When I published The Album in March, I was astounded that there was no category for rock star romance on Amazon. I mean, it’s a huge niche. But it had no actual category, which was crazy to me. As you all know, I went right ahead...

So, I had an interesting experience this week. It was a discussion in an author group about homemade vs. professional covers for books. I shared my experience with The Album’s cover, and I thought it might be fun to write a blog and show the whole process. The...

So, I rewrote The Album…again. 🙈 It’s so much better, though. Like, it was so bad that after going through it, I’m astounded it has a 4-star rating on Amazon. How was I not being reamed out for all the grammatical errors? Let alone, the horrendous storytelling!...

Kind of. Over 15,000 words were written back in 2008, when I initially had the idea for the story. So, I decided on the 1st of September that I was going to write and submit Dreams for the Wattys. With a deadline for submission of the 30th of September, that...

Okay, so I’ve been meaning to write this blog for a while. A common piece of feedback that I get is that people hate that they don’t get the alternate point of view in my books. Hell, that’s literally why I’m writing a companion series from the...

Okay, so…wow, I have things to say. First, let’s do fun stuff! The cover of The Baby was revealed on Instagram! I sliced the picture into twelve posts and posted four a day over three days to end up with the full cover showing in the connected pictures....

See, I really should update this blog more often than once a month! I’ll try and post all of the latest newsletters this weekend, so you can use them to catch up. I can’t believe that my last blog was before I finished The Baby, so I have a lot to tell...
