Contemporary romance author of plus size heroines and happily-ever-afters. Hearts of Wilson Lake Series releasing 2025. In the PNW. Reading and writing books is political.
Pinned
When Jason and Raven cross paths, they agree on one thing: neither is in the market for anything serious. A summer fling seems safe enough. It’ll be easy, light, and just what they both need. But the longer they spend together, the harder it becomes to pretend it doesn’t mean something more.

How's the WIP going? Well the MCs just shared their first kiss so I guess you could say it's going well for them 😜.
This novella just passed the 16k mark so we're almost halfway there.

10,908 words written this week! That puts me a quarter of the way through the 1st draft of this novella. Not gonna lie, my brain feels a little mushy at the moment but I'm feeling much better about the timeline I have for this project.

(2/2) Several OR cities are dealing with this due to property tax compression from taxes passed in the 90s, but no other city of Salem’s size in OR has even THOUGHT about shuttering their libraries. City Manager and Council seem all for funding the cops though!!
