It’s Happening 🎉

The Tackle’s Crush releases August 15th!

Mark Your Calendars!

That’s right, friends! My new book, The Tackle’s Crush, will release in August of this year! I am so excited to share this new story with you.

My new series, It Happened One Season, will encompass several sub-series, each set at a different high school. Each school is based on local schools near my hometown of Shelby, Michigan. The first sub-series, the Sullivan Cougars, is based on Shelby.

The Sullivan Cougars will revolve around male characters who play different sports and the girls they fall for. Sports included: football, soccer, basketball, wrestling, and baseball.

My husband and I are publishing my books together. He is my cover artist. I will be sharing the cover art for The Tackle’s Crush soon.

Check back for more information over the next month.

Releasing soon!!! 💜🏈

What Are You Reading?

It’s been a bit since I’ve posted here. Life definitely gets busy, doesn’t it? Things you meant to do don’t get done.

What have you been reading lately? I’ve been reading mostly YA sweet romances – three quite addicting.

If you need a new read with romance and suspense, might I suggest Got a Bad Case, first in the Riven City series?

Are You in the Know?

Hey everyone, how is your holiday season going so far?

Have you started the Riven City series yet? No? What better time then during the holidays?

And if you have, are you all caught up? Big things are going down in the city!

Did you know you can leave reviews for Vella books on Amazon? And give each episode a thumbs up? If you’re reading and enjoying my stories, I would appreciate reviews, follows and likes. That shows Amazon that readers are seeing and enjoying my work, and helps me make money.

And while I would write even without getting paid, the money is nice.

Charlie Dragon and Goals

Good morning. How is everyone today? I’m taking a vacation day and working on I Need a Hero, book two in the Riven City series I’m publishing on Kindle Vella.

My goal for September is to finish up I Need a Hero so that in October (my favorite month) I can write and publish Drop Them Bones, the first holiday special in the series. It revolves around a recently renovated hotel, a masquerade ball, some supernatural happenings, and a firefighter and his girlfriend trying to survive the night.

I’m still loving Vella. I can share so many more stories with you all there. I am planning to publish Deceit, book two in the Traitors War series, in either October or November, too, alongside my Riven City books.

I also got a new writing friend, Charlie Dragon. He came from Menards, and though a bit pretentious, I’m enjoying him. He does like to offer suggestions for my book, which isn’t always appreciated, and he asks a lot of questions, some of which I don’t know the answers, because I don’t outline or plot out my books. At least, not in any great detail.

Have a wonderful day, friends. And if you want to read Drop Them Bones in October, I would suggest reading the first two books in the series, Got a Bad Case and I Need a Hero, first.

Meet Charlie Dragon, my new writing companion and mascot.

Big Decision

As most of you know, I made the decision to publish all my future books to Kindle Vella. It was not an easy decision, as I have enjoyed working with Kate Conway and Wicked Whale Publishing since 2018.

But indie publishing is expensive, and while my first two novels sold quite well, my last two have not. Some of that has been due to Covid, and not having the chance to get to book events. And some of it is because indie authors in general have a more difficult time getting their name out there.

Kindle Vella is changing that. It is free to publish my books there, and I have access to sites with free imagery I can use for the covers. I can publish episodes (chapters) as often as I want. While it’s true these books can only be read on Amazon, they are always available as long as you have a phone or device and internet.

So far, Got a Bad Case, first in the Riven City series, is available and I am currently writing and posting I Need a Hero, book two. I am planning shorter holiday books to fit into the series as well. The first one, Drop Them Bones, will be published in October, after I finish I Need a Hero.

If you have read Destiny, book one in the Traitors War series, you will be able to read book two, Deceit, this fall/early winter as well.

I hope that if you have enjoyed my books, you will continue to read them on Vella. I appreciate the support, and I love sharing my books with you all.

Got a Bad Case

Book One in my new clean romantic suspense series, Riven City, is now complete.
