We love this time of year in the desert Southwest! Get out and enjoy the cool weather. If you happen to be in Peoria, AZ we’re at the library until 1 today 😉

Authors, if you see this, it’s a sign to post the first line of your book.

The first time I killed someone it was an accident.

2 books in the series, here’s the basic info

This was harder than I expected. Hear me out, I LOVE libraries. My decision on that one was based SOLELY on the fact that I work at a used bookstore and love my job! 😂

It’s official!
I’m making it my Reading goal to read everything currently on my TBR. 📚👀
Note: I will still add things, I take on new reviews all the time. But there’s currently 118 on my list and 1 I’m reading so 119 is the goal!
January 1, 2025 at 4:45 PM
And with that last book done, I’m calling it for 2024.
11 books in December makes my total for 2024 152 books.

I've set my goal at 104 books (2 per week) for a few years now and always exceeded it.

Seriously considering setting my 2025 goal at 119 books ... because that's what is currently on my TBR. 📚👀

My hopes for 2025 include hoping to get my writing schedule back on track and finishing this dang Apocalypse Project draft!

Ivy would kill Nolan under the mistletoe … and she would’ve had the same answer even BEFORE they were the last two people on Earth 😬

#FantasyIndiesDecember Day 23
All of the Apocalypse Project POV characters would be on the nice list for doing their best EXCEPT maybe 1 who would put herself on the naughty list over the guilt she has for something top secret. 🤫

My favorite time of the year, when sitting outside is acceptable and doesn’t cause heat stroke

Weather in the Apocalypse Project? Well, it’s HOT 🥵 when they’re down in the valley (Phoenix area) so they travel north until it’s bearable.
But that’s going to make winters very chilly 🥶

Ivy actually gifts fresh vegetables from her garden. Homemade, delicious, and as good as gold during the Apocalypse.

Both! Listen, sitting by the fire is EVEN BETTER after a snowball fight 😂
