Hey it’s been a minute! I just got back from visiting family in Atlanta and made good use of the 12-hour drive on the way home. Who can guess what this means??

No Kings in red Grand Haven, MI. 🚫👑 Roughly 1000 people on a busy intersection. Lots of honks and cheers and smiling faces, only a few thumbs down and screeching tires. We settled on chanting “USA!” at the haters. 😍

I unboxed my books at the Book Cellar today!! I’ve done quite a few of these over the years but this was the first time with a utility knife so I had to be extra careful haha.
After this I hand-delivered copies to local friends and it was so fun to see everyone! 😍🤩 #booksky

Eve looks just as creepy in black and white! 😱 The ebook is finalized and ready to be devoured! I got this review on NetGalley today:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I was on the edge of my seat for this whole book, it was bloody fantastic! That last line? I am obsessed!”

Writer achievement unlocked: can you even call yourself an author if you don’t have carpal tunnel syndrome? 😩 Yesterday I had electric and needle nerve tests done to determine why my arms and hands randomly tingle (electric: fine; needles: not so much)…

Starting the new year with new words! It’s been months since I’ve written and it’s taking me longer to get back in the groove than I hoped, but I’m doing it.
2024 was a year of new challenges and I’m excited to see what those decisions lead to in 2025! 🎉

I’m writing!! It’s technically mostly editing at this point but I’m back in the ya romantic suspense I started writing two years ago! I haven’t worked on a romance-forward story since then and it’s fun getting back in those squishy emotions😍😍 Dog snout for tax.
