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!

A Whipped Cream Kind of Day
Remy!
This series was so much fun to write, in general, but I love how Remy finds himself and doesn’t let a bit of drama slow him down.
The One of Those Days series has the best coffee shop with the craziest people in it and that was just so much fun to write about.
This series is about people having just one of those days where everything is going wrong and it’s got a mix of littles and middles, cuties and troublemakers.
All my favorite things lol.
What kind of go to pick me up do you think should’ve gone in this series? We’ve got umbrella drinks, whipped cream, milkshakes, rubber ducks, and dino nuggets.
Oh another question…if I were to go back and do a bonus chapter or short for this series which couple should get a bonus?

Garrett (Italian edition)
Most authors complain about writing the blurb for a book or picking out the model who should go on the cover. I’ve done that too but I think the biggest pain in the butt is translations.
I love this series in general, but man, going through the process of getting books translated was harder than I imagined.
I’m at the point where I’ve finally found GREAT people to work with but it was a long road to get there.
My starting point with Garrett (and this whole series) was with a publishing company and that was odd. I’m a control freak and not knowing what the cover would look like or when the book would even come out made me just a bit insane.
At one point I said I wasn’t going to do anymore translations because I hated not knowing what was going on, but Nora Phoenix talked me down from the ledge and gave me a lot of good advice. We were at an author convention a couple of years ago and she walked me through self-publishing translations and started me off on a whole new journey.
That was slightly bumpy too but I love where I’ve ended up and this year is packed with new Italian and German translations and I’m so excited for all of them.
Answer in the Comments: If you read in another language other than just English I’d love for you to comment below or feel free to ask questions about the process if you’re curious. Do you have any questions for me about Garrett or translations in general?
I do love this series, and while Skyler is fun fueled by drama I think Remy’s story might be my favorite
You could do a chocolate chip cookie or chocolate candy kind of day.
If you give anyone an extra chapter it would have to be Skyler and Nash, there’s just too much fun. Or maybe a look at the guys from A Halloween Kinda Night a little farther into their dynamic (sneaky pup).
Those are great ideas!!
