But I want to reach more readers and authors. Reach is my motto for 2026, and I'm starting the year off right! Reach for the stars ✨ … Continue reading Welcome 2026: Reach

Spicy Motivational Writing Memes
A fun little game I started years ago with my fellow romance authors. Create memes featuring some sexy inspiration to motivate them to finish their WIPs. Did it work? I like to think so. I figured I'd share them all on my blog so you can also find some inspiration. 💕 Yeah, I had a … Continue reading Spicy Motivational Writing Memes

As I was sorting through my yearly data, I noticed a few trends. Some good. Some bad. But I really wanted to focus on the one that made me proud.

Inspiration: Back to the Future, a Writing Prompt, and 80s Rock
This book took me ten years to write. I don't mean that literally, but the initial idea simmered in the back of my mind for a long time before I actually sat down and wrote the book.

Writing Reviews: Dos and Don’ts
I don't know about you, but writing a review terrifies me. I always worry I'm going to say something stupid or hurt the author by posting my review of their book.

Trope Talk: An Introduction
Eleven years ago, I signed up for National Novel Writing Month for the first time. As a push to keep me motivated and stay on track with my goals, I enrolled in a "support class" for NaNoWriMo offered by Savvy Authors (a great writing resource by the way.) This class would challenge me in a … Continue reading Trope Talk: An Introduction

Inspiration: Shemar Moore, the Duke of Hastings, and Video Games
This book was never supposed to exist, but this is true for most of my stories, so bear with me as I explain how Confessions of a Gamer Girl came into existence. When I set out to write Confessions of a Fangirl, it was supposed to be a one and done kinda book. I had … Continue reading Inspiration: Shemar Moore, the Duke of Hastings, and Video Games
