I’m enjoying my morning coffee, scrolling through my phone before I dive into writing, and I love that my social feeds are absolutely saturated with Bad Bunny’s halftime show. I watched it live—breathless—yelling when he leapt off the roof to crowd surf and scolding the producers when he climbed that…

February 6, 2026

It’s six degrees outside, my coffee is strong, and my husband is starting to suspect I read a lot of gay wolf shifter romance. The house is still half-asleep. Music hums softly in the background. This is how most writing days begin. I’m usually awake around 4:30 a.m., scrolling messages…

It’s so cold here I half expect the trees to explode. Back in Michigan, I’ve hit full polar vortex whiplash. It’s minus 12 degrees this morning—and that’s not even the worst. My sister up in Roscommon reports minus 24, and the Au Sable River is starting to freeze over. Yeah.…

Pulling into San Juan this morning feels bittersweet. One last day in paradise, and then it’s back to twelve degrees, snow, and ice. I did write on this trip—just not as much as I expected. And no, it wasn’t the sunshine, the beaches, the excursions, or even the sea turtles…

January 14, 2026

I’m spending a couple of weeks island-hopping in the Caribbean—a tradition my partner and I settled into several years ago. We love Michigan and genuinely enjoy four distinct seasons, but January and February can be bleak. The original sixty to ninety shades of gray. I can go a while without…

January 1, 2026

One year ago this week, I stepped away from my second—maybe third—career. It’s never easy to release an identity you’ve worn for years, or a work family you’ve shown up for day after day. The hardest part isn’t the leaving itself—it’s the moment you finally admit it’s time. Once that…

December 26, 2025

Ten days. That’s all it took to draft a mammoth first pass of Goddess: Moonborn, book eleven of the Vanguardians. Trace Bogden and Caela Nyra simply refused to wait until after the New Year to tell their story. When characters decide it’s time, there’s really no negotiating. Trace has always…

After making a promise to myself that I wouldn’t start the next book until after the first of the year… I started a new first draft. Goddess: Moonborn is the last book of the Vanguardian series. Though technically, not the last book I’ll be writing in the series. That honor…
