Happy December! WOW. I cannot believe this year is almost over. I’ll be giving you an update of 2020 plans in January and the books – yes, plural! – I worked on in October & November that kept me so busy I didn’t blog at all. Today, however, I wanted to pop in and do …
Happy October! Today, I’m sharing another look behind-the-scenes of my author life. So what author-y things did I do in September? Writing! I can’t share what I’m writing just yet, but (SPOILER ALERT) I’m actually writing 2 books at once! The next full novel release after Ethan’s will be a duet of books, where the …
Happy September! I’ve gotten some requests to post more about my author life and the day-to-day of writing, so I’ll be doing monthly posts going over everything I did in the previous month and giving you a behind-the-scenes look. You all seem to really enjoy my sharing these types of posts and content in the …
Hello, Vallerians! The hectic end to the year is fast approaching and I wanted to let you know about some changes to my publishing schedule. The big news is this – I will not be publishing another book this year. I’m finalizing Seaside Valleria 3 now (Frannie’s story), but it won’t be ready for release …
I recently read this fantastic post by the fabulous Kristen Ashley, in which she describes why it’s okay to read outside the genre or subgenre you usually read. I LOVE this post. I don’t just mean I love brilliant Kristen Ashley (which I do, and whose books I absolutely adore and own in ebook, paperback, …
Only one day left in my #100Days series! Be sure to tune in tomorrow for a fun, final post. In the meantime, here’s an update on how my weekend went. Author-wise, it went pretty well! I had three big goals (write, edit, and design), and I managed to work on two of them (write and …
Time for one more post on my weekend plans as part of the #100Days series. If you follow the blog, you know that I took a break after finishing up my recent run of books over the last six weeks (publishing Permanently Princess, Rush, and Ripple, and drafting Frannie’s story for Seaside Valleria 3 and handing …
Now that I’ve published Ripple, the second in the Seaside Valleria series, I wanted to give you a quick look and what’s coming up next. I wrote a little bit about it in this post, and I gave my newsletter subscribers a few more details, so I’m sharing them here now, too. Every year around …
Time to talk about PLANNING! I love planning and I love organizing. As someone who deals with anxiety, planning (especially paper planning) has really helped me manage that better. I’ve mentioned before that I essentially work two full-time jobs – a day job and my author job. Planning is essential for me to keep track of …

Do I get inspired from the real-life royals? Short answer: Absolutely! I talked a little about this in my post on research, but a question on a recent post prompted today’s post. Carla asked me: “Has the royal romance and wedding of Harry and Meghan given you any ideas for your series?” The answer is a …
It’s the weekend! Now that I’ve finished up Rush and Ripple (Yay!), my weekend goals have shifted, at least for the next couple weeks. I won’t start writing my next book until July, which gives me time to catch up on ALL the things I set aside so I could finish the books. The pre-orders …
