Giveaway Time!
Long Live the Rebel released eleven days ago, and as with all my book releases, I am doing a giveaway! Yes, it's Giveaway Time!! Well, not exactly in this moment, but the giveaway opens now. It's sort of been my thing that when a book releases, I do a giveaway, but I don't just want to offer a prize, but rather more of an experience. This giveaway will be no different. Long Live the Rebel takes place in both Coronado Island, CA and Sequim, WA and Ryler says AJ smells like coc

New Character Alert
Hey guys! I have a new character alert for you all. Recently, on my social media, I posted the picture of an AI generated image--thanks ChatGPT--of a new character (side note: I ONLY use AI in the form of ChatGPT to create an image of a character I have in mind and DO NOT use it for ANYTHING else, not covers or anything, just inspiration) and asked for name suggestions. I wasn't disappointed. You all were fantastic! And because of your awesomeness, I'd like to introduce you t

Why Closed Door?
I've had a few people ask me this question over the years. Why closed door? Aren't we all adults? Can't we just be adults here? Hello, and welcome to my latest blog post where I'll be discussing the reasons behind my decision to write closed door romances. It's a fair question. I know growing up we didn't have anything called closed door. There was romance and there was Christian romance. Those were my choices. One was guaranteed to have smut in most cases (some Regency didn'

Super Bowl Sunday Blog Post
Hello dear reader, and welcome to my Super Bowl Sunday blog post. Bah humbug. Look, I'm a Green Bay Packer's fan and since I can't cheer the The Pack in this game, then I guess I'll cheer for the Refs. Pfft, whatever. There's always next year. I hope. Regardless, are you cheering for a specific team today? Are you a Seahawks Fan or a Patriots fan? If my grandmother was alive, she'd be cheering for the Patriots. She loved that team. This is not the same grandmother who recentl

Latest Blog Post, Something New
Want to hear about something new I'm working on? Read this latest blog post to find out. Well, technically, it's not "new" as in was never published before. Because Long Live the Rebel was published originally in 2019. Along with my other books, it was unpublished in 2021, when my publisher closed down. I've just finished first round revisions on this. And yes, I am revising because, I've learned A LOT since first being published and want to make sure this story is at its bes

Hello 2026
Well, the New Year has started. Hello, 2026! I hope yours has begun well, and trust you had a wonderful Christmas, too. I feel as though I've been running since around mid October. Probably longer, to be honest. My youngest turned 18 the first part of the month, and I was still preparing for the re-release of The Lost and Found. Then just a couple days after that released, I flew out to Boston to meet up with my daughter and son-in-law and his parents to celebrate and watch m
