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!

At least my typos provide comic relief.

Lying with River in their snug cocoon, she reached for the courage and clear thinking she needed to save herself from another heartbreak--because a girl could only take so many of those before the pain wrecked her.

"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

It's true! Whatever form of prose or poetry we cloak it in, we're all working on our own stuff.

Book Cover: Christmas Rekindled by Sadira Stone, 99¢ Text: He wrapped her in his burly arms and pulled her against his rock-wall chest. “Christmas is funny that way. Makes us homesick for something we maybe never had.” But I did have it, for a little while. A memory pierced her—making Christmas cookies with Mom, colored icing, sprinkles, and gumdrops scattered over the kitchen counters in a glorious, happy mess. Another tear dribbled down her cheek. Jojo released her. “River looks like he wants to smash my face.”

Don't you love it when both the MCs are afraid to fall in love for some very good reasons? 🥰
This steamy, over-40, slow-burn, almost-enemies to lovers rom-com isn't set around Halloween, but it has a ghost and alien visitors, so plenty of woo-woo chills! 👻👽

She braced herself as a thread of fear wound around her heart and squeezed. “Hannah, I’m falling in love with you.” She opened her mouth, but all that emerged was a squawk. “That’s what I was afraid of.” He rolled onto his side, snugged her against him, and stroked his fingers into her hair. “But hear me out, okay?”

Now, there are lots of noises on an offshore rig—machinery, wind, crashing surf, shouting voices, but I’d never heard anything like this.” Even now, six years later, that ominous sizzle haunted his dreams, the sound of a malevolent sea serpent bent on devouring the victims it missed on that hellish day.
