Research can be kinda fun sometimes! 

I promise I was reeeeal gentle with your guitar, babe. 😬 

I’m enjoying these aspects of writing Wren (a pop star singer) and Luke’s (bodyguard) story…despite not having a lick of musical talent or knowledge. 😆

I’ve just gotten to the part where the romance is really kicking into high gear. Eeeep! 😍

Look it. Look it. Katherine Center and me are basi Look it. Look it. Katherine Center and me are basically like the same person. 😏🤩

I saw her post yesterday and I just had to share our little twinsie progress charts. Hers is based on pages and mine is words—but po-tay-to, po-ta-to, you know what I’m sayin’. 😅

We both write fun, lighthearted, feel-good, closed-door romance with depth and hope! AND we’re both making progress on our current projects! 😁👯

If you’ve never read her books—you’re sorely missing out, and I highly recommend you remedy that PRONTO. My favorite to recommend is The Bodyguard (which also happens to be becoming a movie too!). 

Thank you, @katherinecenter for letting me borrow (steal) this pic from FB. Also, I think I’m going to have to up my color game. I need more of a rainbow effect next time! 😍
Men, plug your ears. 😏😆 Hormones are weird you guy Men, plug your ears. 😏😆
Hormones are weird you guys. They kinda suck sometimes. 😅 Anyone else notice they have a love/hate relationship with writing (or whatever your job is) at particular times of their cycle too?

I’ve come to recognize when the “symptoms” start to happen and am learning to push through and ignore them…or cry/scream it out…whichever feels best at the moment. 😆
I was so grateful to be asked as an author guest s I was so grateful to be asked as an author guest speaker for @moorechamber’s Beyond the Book Women’s Business Luncheon. There’s something pretty spectacular about being in a room full of professional women and business owners. It was extra special given I’ve been a part of the Moore community since my childhood. I love what these women are doing for our community. 💪🏻

Thank you so much to @the_last_page_bookstore for inviting me and being a wonderful emcee and part host. And thank you again, to @moorechamber for coming up with the idea to do a women’s author panel in the first place! 🥰
March photo dump/recap!! March is a busy family m March photo dump/recap!!

March is a busy family month for us between my husband’s and both my girl’s birthdays and spring break! Lots of family time and I wouldn’t have it any other way! 

Highlights:
Spring bookshelves
Birthday celebrations!
Crushing word count goals on my WIP
First book club attendance as an author 
Beautiful, warm weather with lots of outside time
Fun with cousins on Spring Break 
Husband is coaching my daughter’s soccer team 
Game night
Rest for the weary 😅
Long overdue brunch date 
Book club!!! 
My baby turning SEVEN
Birthday skating

Sometimes it feels like life and each month just flies by! These monthly recaps help me remember just how FULL life is and how much I just love my people. 🫶🏻
Diaries of an Introverted Author 😆 I can talk to Diaries of an Introverted Author 😆

I can talk to just about anyone about anything OTHER THAN myself…especially any sort of accomplishment…like writing a novel. I immediately get awkward and tongue-tied. It’s like my brain just mis-fires and I completely forget the plot and characters of my book. I can manage at book events through sheer willpower—but on the fly? A random stranger? Wholly unprepared? Nope. Nope. Nope. 

You can see why I rarely wear a shirt I bought in celebration of that accomplishment. 😬

Any other authors have this problem?
Author friends, HEEELP! Or even readers, teachers, Author friends, HEEELP! Or even readers, teachers, parents who’ve done this sort of thing before! 😅 Would love some tips!!
