Writers helping other writers

This is a rough concept I have in mind. I’m putting this here as a placeholder to remind myself to do it—when life is a bit less busy. I’m a firm believer in community over competition and I love helping writers. I plan to create some blog segments or reference pages for aspiring authors to help them along their journey—whether… Read More

I try, people, I try really hard. But most nights: I try, people, I try really hard. But most nights: my brain and eyes don’t match the desires of my little reader heart. 😆

LOVED this place. One of my favorite parts of “b LOVED this place. One of my favorite parts of “book club” (aside from chatting with the ladies) is branching out to some of the many places in my surrounding area I’ve never been to before! 

I say “book club” in quotes because…honestly, it’s more of a dinner club with friends where books may have brought us together and we definitely do chat about them, but they’re also not the primary topic of discussion when we meet. Who knew starting a book club could be so fun?! Looking forward to our next gathering with girl dinner and crafts!!! 🤩

I write the kind of heroes I want to root for: tho I write the kind of heroes I want to root for: those that are infinitely kind, giving, patient, caring, selfless. The one’s that swoop in to rescue (even if the heroine needs no help). The golden retriever type is my jam. But they’re always the kind that are confident and charismatic on the outside, but slightly self-conscious on the inside too. 

I write romance that’s the slow-burn kind where a mere graze of hands sends shivers down your spine because you’ve been WAITING AND WAITING for that very simple, but intimate touch. 

I write kisses that are soft, and precious—the kind that really MEAN something. 

I DON’T write love stories for the sake of all the heat. I write them because FALLING IN LOVE is such a gift and I love reading/writing someone else experience it for the first time. 

Maybe that’s not the kind of romance you’re looking for. And that’s okay. But if it is—then I think you’ll swoon over my debut. 😘

I finally did it! I bedazzled my first book! 😆 I finally did it! I bedazzled my first book! 😆 I kept seeing this trend and I so badly wanted to try it. My kids had the jewels. I had the glue. I just needed to be brave enough to experiment. Turns out: it was fun! 🤩 Now I just need to decide what book to do next… 

(It also helped I have two copies of this book and I didn’t love this one since it was the big, ugly sticker printed ON the book.) 😜😑 WHY DO THEY DO THAT?! 

What do you think of it?! Have you done this before? If so, what book did you try it on? 😍

I may never be able to match the sheer volume of t I may never be able to match the sheer volume of the majority of indie authors (or trad authors for that matter), but I’m so dang proud of making it to this point.

Life threw me a lot of curve balls the last 5-10 years. It’s cute almost 7 years ago I thought I was ready to be published. I’ve learned so much since and will continue to learn more as I grow. Yet, here we are now. Read again: HERE WE ARE! I made it. Finally. Took a while…maybe in a zig-zag pattern, at a snail’s pace, but in less than two months this huge labor of love/hate will be in the hands of the world. Amongst the 2-4 MILLION books published a year, I pray my little story finds its readers. 🥰🙏

To my aspiring author friends: I say the key is being brave enough to TRY. That and persistence. Just keep writing. Keep plugging along—even if you feel like you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing and what you’re writing feels like complete garbage. Trust me, you can mold it into something wonderful—it just takes time and learning. Or: if it’s not working, scrap it, and move on! The worst thing you can do is be stagnant and unwilling to try something new. There is no ONE “right” way to writing…you have to experiment and find what best works for you. Also, those you think “have it all figured out”…do not. We’re all in this weird, complicated, exploratory journey of creativity together. 🫶🏻 Just keep feeding that little spark inside you until it becomes a flame…even if that means taking breaks, reading loads of books, exploring new places/things, getting out of your comfort zones, or experimenting with new projects. Foster that love of what’s inside you and give yourself grace when you fall short of your own expectations. (Also me telling myself these things.)

This is for the low-spice romance readers who enjoy fun, playful/flirty stories without the angst. This story is about a camera-shy dog rescuer, a charismatic actor, and a sweet rescue dog that brings them together. It’s like Notting Hill, but with more fur, flirting, and fun! 🤩 

The full back cover copy and expectations will be in the link. Publishing date is: August 14th. 🌴
