  • Happy Easter | Finding a New Favorite Book

    Happy Easter! I’m so thankful for this gorgeous spring day and my first beach weekend of 2024! Some of my favorite days are the hours spent soaking in the sun’s rays, enjoying the salt and sand of the ocean breeze, and devouring a new favorite book.

  • Space Coast Book Lovers | Time to Register!

    I created this ad for the Space Coast Book Lovers convention program, and I’m probably too proud of it, LOL! I don’t know if it’s because I’m so proud of this series and/or because I’m so in love with my covers, but I can’t wait to see this design in the convention program! It’s not…

  • Mad Libs Fun | Alien Style

    Check out this silly mad-libs edition of a scene from Beyond the Next Star! Last December, Strong Women-Strange Worlds hosted a Holiday Extravaganza, and I was delighted to participated in a Mad Libs session with four other fantastic sci-fi romance authors: Patricia Correll, Gabby Gilliam, Jody Lynn Nye and A.M. Scott. A special thanks to…

  • Inspo Pics | Viking-inspired Romantasy

    Here are a few inspo pics for my current WIP. I’m having a blast creating this new adult, Viking-inspired romantasy trilogy!!

  • Beyond the Next Star | Five-Star Amazon Review

    This 5-star Amazon review was posted by a reader I met while on tour at one of my reader conventions. It still tickles me to remember meeting this lovely woman and how much she connected with Beyond the Next Star. “This book was an unexpected delight. The suspense, carefully-constructed and utterly unique world, and fascinating…

  • Vacation Preparation | 7 Year Anniversary

    I’m so thrilled that Derek and I are going on an exciting 7 year anniversary vacation in April… to Hawaii!! In preparation for wearing bikinis and hiking volcanos, I’ve started running again. Kind of – my version of running, which is more a walk/jog/ limp. I have until April 5th to feel fit!

  • Favorite Quote From Sight Beyond the Sun

    One of my favorite quotes from Raveno, the hero in Sight Beyond the Sun! “I found something of me in meeting you, a part of myself I’d thought dead for more than eleven years. I will not just miss you when you return to Earth. I will…” Cry mercy, Raveno cleared his throat. “I have…

  • Nature’s Inspiration | Writing Outside

    It’s a no makeup, dress down, sunshine kind of day! Sometimes, I get my best writing in when I’m off the computer and outside, enjoying nature. St. Marys Waterfront Park is one of my favorite places (second to the beach) to enjoy the sun’s rays sparkling on the rippling water, watch the boats dotting the…

  • Book Recommendation | The Shadows Between Us

    Book recommendation time! If you’re looking for a dark YA romance, try The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller. Someone described this book as a “Slytherin” romance, and that perfectly encapsulates the tone and dark humor of this book. From anyone else’s point of view, the hero and heroine would be the villains, and I…

  • Book Recommendation | Fourth Wing

    If you enjoy the houses in Harry Potter, the dragons in Game of Thrones, and underdog heroines who come into their power despite the odds and kick some serious a$$, then you’ll love Fourth Wing. And can we talk about how stunning the print edition is? The cover and internal maps and designs are gorgeous!…
