Today is Bondwitch's 2nd book birthday! I'll be celebrating on Still Moments Magazine this upcoming Monday when Bondwitch is their Monday Mood highlight.

I'm truly grateful to be a published author for two years now. The writing and publishing process is not quick or easy. (1/4)

Day 3 of the Quills Conference: Signed copy of Legends and Lattes. Socialized with other romance writers. Learned about audiobook options, and got some helpful tips on editing emotion and the senses into my stories. Also, I'm in love with the outfit I wore to the evening banquet. #quills2025

I always miss the first day of the Quills Conference because of back to school stuff. But I'm here for the evening part of day 2 and ready for the rest of the weekend! #Quills2025

Today's #bookqw word is rain. Have you ever been camping in the rain? My family's awful experience from a few years ago inspired this scene.

Today's #bookqw word is GAME. The Wolf Whisperer became unpublished with the closing of Kindle Vella. I've updated the name and am working on finding it a new home. In the meantime, enjoy an excerpt.
