Tell me your mood—sweet or spicy—and I’ll drop a quote from one of my books to match it. 💋
Fluff or filth, I’ve got you.

Romance authors (any creative types, really): Where are you in the spiral today?
I'm bouncing between "This is hot though" and "Everyone will hate it."
Please send help. Coffee. Pics of sexy people. Your fave unhinged bookish quotes. Wine. Tequila. Something. Anything.
Thanks!

Guys to romance readers: “Romance creates unrealistic expectations.”
My response: Nah, babe. It just shows what bare minimum accountability looks like…with abs. 👏📚💅

Which mood are you in today? No wrong answers. Just vibes.

First rule of thesaurus club: You do not talk, discuss, chat, speak, gab, confer, deliberate, gossip, or prattle about thesaurus club.
In honor of National Thesaurus Day & feeling like dredging up an old trend—a wordcloud based on a certain project coming out in April.

Errand day provided the opportunity to grab lunch w/ a friend, which meant I got one of my faves—egusi soup.
Yum!!

Apropos of nothing… how to feel old? Get a pill sorter that has morning & evening slots for each day.
How I say: Don’t care, I’m gonna do what works for me & it’s gonna be cool & cute?

Might as well post some of my food stuff—my two fave topics, food and writing.
Been up to my eyeballs in making mini pies for Friendsgiving.
And would ya lookit that crust?!?

This is so real!
What accidental references have you written?
Or read & wondered “did they mean to do that?”
Yes, I did make an accidental Star Wars reference. Then I decided to just embrace it & expand on it.

Somebody wanted to come say hi after lunch.
Hanging at the Richmond Highland Games.

The #FridayKiss prompt was “sweet.”
Did I have several lovely, romantic passages I could’ve used? Sure, but…
How could I resist?

One gorgeous fall Sunday spent with a great friend at a local distillery for a whisky tasting and hey, let’s make our own rocks glass event.
Bonus: a cool tee!

Was kinda missing my fun colors but I also kinda dig my gray hair. Luckily I have an awesome hairstylist.
These pics do not do justice to the gorgeous purple tones going on and the amount of purple and silver sparkles in my hair.

It started w/ the rose sprays—loved the soft color. Everything else was about making it pretty. Plus a 2nd vase w/ a few of last week’s sunflowers mixed w/ some extras.
I’m not ready for the full transition to the oranges & golds of fall, so this’ll have to do.

It's #FridayKiss time & the word was "invite."
All of my characters have been fun to write, but Luke and Stacy may be my faves. So far.
