Deals & Dalliances Updates & Plans!
Baked & Brewed Updates
A Christmas Novel!
Life & Cats
Recs
Current Projects/Looking Ahead

I sent out ARC’s on my birthday to 110 people! If you missed it and want to join, just email me back and I can send it your way.
Deals & Dalliances will publish on March 7th! I’m currently battling with Amazon to get my paperback fixed (they keep saying a page is off - I’m working on it!).
I am planning some fun giveaways for ARC reviews and preorders - I turn in my promotion documents on February 3rd, so things for this will start to heat up after that!
Preorder Deals & Dalliances here.

Okay - I know this book may feel like old news! However, I am reading through it again, and looking at possibly having it edited through one more time by my new editor. It’s still doing well on KU, but I do always appreciate you telling others about it!
I have, possibly, started plotting an actual Baked & Brewed 2. Is that something you’d be interested in? Let me know!

A friend of mine was writing a Christmas novel - I said I always wanted to. She said “DO IT!” And well - then we started brainstorming and my new novel was born.
I’m two chapters in, and just LOVING IT. This is so much fun to write. And it may wind up not being magical at all.
I’d love to hear what you love about Christmas novels? What do you like to see? Let me know!

My biggest author news is that I’ve been accepted as a panelist to the Kentucky Women’s Book Festival! I’m really excited. Registration isn’t up yet - it takes place in Louisville, KY February 28th - March 1st.
Life in general - I’m up for promotion, and that is due at the beginning of February, so while I am managing writing some, I’m a bit crazy otherwise.
I’ve been drinking a ton of tea lately, and have fallen in love with Oatmilk. Let me know your favorite!
The cats are all doing well, as are the doggos!

I did not read as much as normal last year, but I’m determined to do more this year! I’m working on getting more of my physical books read too. So here are some I love already this year!

Crocodile Tears by Ali K. Mulford. Absolutely loved it.

Opposites Attract. Main character is named Fallon (And yes, I know Heather!)

Soulless by Gail Carriger. I recently reread all of these last year. I love them sooooo much.

So what is happening in my author world now?
Working on Christmas Project
Novella for A&A in the works on Piper and Willow meeting as kids
There is a plot developed for F&F
E&E will be a short story
Getting things amped up for the Deals & Dalliances release!
