Author of cozy, funny, spicy, grownup romance set in the Pacific Northwest. My body's in Vegas, but my heart's in the PNW. Guitar, dance, too many cookbooks, too old & sassy to do as I'm told, vote blue!

Huge news: Beyond The Mark is FREE on Amazon Dec 1-5. 🎄

I write because I love the world and the characters, not the money. If you claim a free copy, spreading the word so others can too would help more than you know.

A stylized cover art for the book titled "Beyond the Mark: Ashes of the Hero," featuring a silhouette of a cloaked figure in a dark, magical forest. The figure, shrouded in shadow, is holding a glowing sword with a vibrant red hue. Intricate patterns adorn the figure's cloak, evoking a sense of mystery and fantasy. The background showcases an eerie forest with bare, twisted trees and ethereal lights, creating a mystical and foreboding atmosphere. In the distance, a castle with spires looms against a pale, glowing sky, adding a sense of adventure and danger to the scene. The title is prominently displayed at the top in bold, stylized lettering, with a vivid gradient effect that contrasts with the darker tones of the artwork. The overall composition conveys themes of heroism, darkness, and a journey into the unknown.

Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. We’ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

"Progress is progress." I love this and need this.
Last week was rough, but Hubs came through his surgery with no complications and is recovering, so I can get back to my WIP, albeit slowly.
Here's to giving ourselves grace when times get tough.

"The point there is, it's not about the schedule. It's not about the frequency. It's all about whether or not you're writing. Even a little bit. Progress is progress. Doing is doing. Take yourself and this thing seriously. Don't worry about what other people tell you to do." - Chuck Wendig, Gentle Writing Advice

Why does Bangers Tavern's hunky, grumpy bartender hate Christmas? Enjoy this interview with River. #RomanceBooks #99cents #ChristmasRomance #SteamyReads
Why does Bangers Tavern’s hunky, grumpy bartender hate Christmas?
There's nothing like the moment when a Scrooge-y holiday hater finds his way to loving Christmas. And if he's a hunky, grumpy, spoiled-rich-boy bartender avoiding his family for the holidays, so much the better! In Christmas Rekindled, first book in the Bangers Tavern Romance Series, you'll discover River's very good reasons for hating this particular holiday. Let's see if we can coax a few words out of the gorgeous grouch.
