In 2024, I ran a series called ‘Past Pages’ in my reader group. Each month, I’d spotlight past books published during that month – sharing writing secrets, character insights, and the stories behind them. I even opened the floor for questions and comments. This year, I’m bringing ‘Past Pages’ to my blog! Feel free to join the conversation, whether you participated last year, or not. I’m excited to revisit these books with you!

Let’s take a closer look at 2 of the titles released in the past.
An Umbrella Drink Kind of Night
For some reason I never thought there’d be this many books that have been published in past Januaries and the range of books surprised me. There’s everything from one of my first books to tons of age play. However, it seems like I prefer to start out the year with something Daddy themed lol.
Like An Umbrella Drink Kind of Night.
I started thinking about this series again recently because it’s getting translated into German in 2024. I can’t wait to see how this series turns out and what my German readers think of it. Umbrella Drinks has such a fun start where both main characters have gotten stood up by dates and the sub is three sheets to the wind lol.
I love writing drunk cuties…so who’s your favorite drunk sub in my books? I think Corey here is a strong contender but there are a lot of drunk subs in my backlist lol.
What questions do you have for me about Umbrella Drink Kind of Night? Any favorite parts of this story you want to share (tag any spoilers please!)
Trapped With His Temporary Daddy
I haven’t thought about this one in a while but I’m pretty sure there were some side characters who needed to go on the list. So if you remember who they are let me know in the comments.
I wasn’t sure how Trapped With His Temporary Daddy would start because it was originally in a series with a bunch of other authors where they all started with the same opening and the cutie talking was very frustrated…and my characters don’t generally start off angry.
So it took me quite a while to poke at the start and just the themes I wanted to write about in general and figure out who was so upset and why they were angry.
That can basically be summed up as family is hard.
I love the age gap in this one and the way the Daddy knew the sub when he was younger and now they’re seeing each other in a different way. The sub here is definitely one of the more stressed characters that I’ve written but I like the way this turned out and how good they were together.
So this one has an age gap, Daddy/little time, they’re trapped together with some snowed-in forced proximity…if you had to pick just one trope to go with the age play would you pick the age gap to go with it or the forced proximity? I’m voting for age gap but I’m curious to see what you think.
Do you have any questions for me about Trapped With His Temporary Daddy?
