I am a kind, thoughtful ball of sarcasm. I read, write, and blog. Author of The Choice Series. Pre 2000s music is the best.

HEY! HEY #BOOKSKY!

Today is NEW BOOK DAY! :D

My next Virtue Shifters #paranormalromance, OWL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS, is now available!

WHOO-OO says you can't go home? Romcom star Kayla finds herself in a meet-cute when she returns to Virtue to film her next movie! 🥰

www.amazon.com/dp/B0FWCXL6Y...
The very cute cover to Murphy Lawless's OWL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS features a golden owl in silhouette against a dark green background. Christmas trees, mittens, and other holiday accoutrements surround the title. There's a silhouetted image of a small town with a big gazebo to one side, and the series title, Virtue Shifters, is featured above the gazebo. Cover art and design by Indigo Chick Designs.

Was going to put up Christmas decorations today. Had to put up tarpaulin in the shed instead, as it was badly leaking and everything inside was soaked.

Christmas decorations are still going up today, just not until this evening now!
