In case there was any confusion on what books might be on the horizon with me:

Herbs & Howls & Wedding Vows took some unexpected turns on me while writing it.

MY LITTLE GOLDEN BOOK ABOUT PRIDE comes out today and I'm feeling extremely Ralph Wiggum "I'm in danger" about it. It's beautiful though and I love it no matter what they say

Things are finally leveling out. After months of fighting exhaustion, fatigue, & dealing with extra stresses, I’ve either figured out how to deal or it’s actually getting better.
Either way, I’m writing on a more regular basis again. 2 books out in 2025 & almost finished with a 3rd.

New bookcase that I built today, but now it’s already full… and I still have more books to add. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Guess I need another one?

The stories in my new novella collection wouldn’t have even been a thought if I hadn’t had people asking for more stories in my Spirit Hollow world. Sips & Spells was supposed to be a one and done standalone…now, it was just the beginning. 💜

It’s been a few days, but I was exhausted after the long drive home. Flirty in Kansas City last weekend was so much fun. I had a great time seeing old friends, meeting new people, and talking books!

Today was fun. I took a much needed break to spend quality time with my daughter after weeks of being buried in work. We went to Build-a-Bear, the Lego Store, Vera Bradley, Panda Express, & finally Staples (for an order for the KC signing).
This mini typewriter will be on my bookshelf.

I write in several genres. While most of my books are adult romances that span several subgenres, I also write as Rebel Love for darker themed romances, and as Raina Lake (with my daughter Naya) for middle grade stories.

The hardest part of my day job in business accounting is wrapping up fiscal years. 50+ hour weeks & total exhaustion are my constant companions in January. Writing & author-related work has to take a backseat. Even with the best intentions, I can’t seem to get it all done. #rexilakebooks #authorlife

After working the day job today, I am planning to make my 2025 Author Goals list, and also revisit what I accomplished in 2024.

What goals have you set for yourself this year? Or if you don’t set goals, do you do something different?

Escaping into a good book has always been my favorite way to avoid a scary or stressful reality. I feel like we are going to need many, many books to make it through the coming years.

When time to write is scarce, but you have a book due by the end of the month, a short story due by the end of the week, & a second book that’s just 10K-ish words from being completed mocking you in your dreams and every waking moment… You still don’t find time to write.

I buy a book the same way I buy a bottle of wine: do I like the little picture on the front, do I like the little blurb on the back, and does it look like it’ll &#% me up for $12

2025 is only 27 days away?! How did that happen?

My first signing next year will be in Kansas City. Ticket links are on my Linktree and so is my preorder form!

You should care less about Hunter Biden and more about how Project2025 is going to take your healthcare and education away.

Michael Bloomberg denounces RFK Jr.:

"If parents listen to him, their children are more likely to get severely sick – and even die."

"It boggles the mind that the Senate would even consider giving Kennedy any power whatsoever over American health policy."
