Did someone ask about a side character? As some of you know, I’ve got a list on a whiteboard in my office that has side characters who need a story. Sometimes I look at the list and sigh because it’s a ridiculous amount and sometimes I look at the list and get an idea. Over the past few months, I’ve gotten to check some of them off my list. Ben and Conner from the club got their origin story (Becoming the Owners). Gray who showed up in the Leashes & Lace side of things got his book in Daddy’s Little Artist. The baker’s son from the Bound & Controlled books got his story (The Gift of Strength which came out […]

The countdown begins… My new Merch Store opens on April 3rd! Merch day is almost here. Store day? Shopping day? While I work out what this exciting day should be called, how about I tell you about some of my favorite things in the new store and how it’s going to work? On opening day (hmm, I think I like that) we’re going to have a variety of fun things from some cheeky quotes to tentacle goodies. After that every couple of weeks we’re going to add some new merch and switch things up a bit. So if there’s something you want to see more of or ideas you have in general then let us know. One of my favorites […]

You know how you plan something for so long you never really think it’s going to happen? I’ve been working on a surprise like that. It’s finally almost here and it’s hard to believe. I first talked to Sage (my incredible wonderful organizer of all things author related) about this back when she first started helping me. It was an I think I’d like to do this kind of comment but I had no idea how to get it started. I wanted to set up a merch store. But did I mention I had no idea how to start it? Thankfully, Sage did and she’s been helping me every step of the way, taking my weird ideas and the little […]

Right now, I’m finishing up something that’s been a surprise for a while as I figured out how it was going to look…the story of how Ben and Conner met. These two own the Bound & Controlled club and haven’t really talked much about their relationship. However, with enough poking and prodding, they’ve started to actually open up to me and not just randomly flirt and talk about the club.Conner is always chatty…just never about himself, so I was excited to see how they fell in love. Let’s just say it’s been slightly unexpected but I’m having fun with it. Becoming The Owners should be out mid-month (short preorder) and is a novella about the start of their relationship. Stay […]

Every December I sit down to plan out the most logical books I should release for the next year—and every year the plan goes wildly off track. (Insert mental image of author shaking head here.) But, like clockwork, I did it again because I’m a planner by nature and I love lists. Some of the books I know will get written are from the His To…Series: His to Use and His to Love (early in the year). I also have high on the to-do list to make sure Aubrey and Lincoln’s book gets written this year (Aubrey shows up in Rethinking Fate), as well as another Too Close book. You’re probably starting to see a theme here… So did I. […]

This has been such an odd year and it feels almost like a turning point in my life. I will be the first to admit I didn’t get nearly as much written as I wanted to (although I apparently published 22 titles!), but I can’t complain because the tradeoff was that I got to spend a lot of time with my son during his senior year of high school. Getting my son ready to go off to college with everything that entails practically and emotionally was a huge learning experience—and a lot to do as a single mom—but I’m so proud of him…and not just because of how he’s done in college. He’s figuring out the balance between asking for […]
