Two weeks out of state and now I’m home again. It’s a long haul from Ithaca, New York back to Ann Arbor—eight to nine hours depending on traffic, construction, and how often you convince yourself you definitely need another coffee. I do most of the driving these days, and honestly?…

Snowed in at a nearly empty 1830s inn, with wind howling off Cayuga Lake… and somehow I’m writing a Christmas romance. Winter, myth, and inspiration collide. Okay… wasn’t expecting the snowstorm that hit last night. An absolute doozy. I’m in upstate New York for a couple of weeks, and while…

Call it tactical avoidance. The international and national news cycle is enough to give anyone anxiety these days, so I’ve made a strategic decision: write more books.

February 27, 2026

I just sent Love Struck, book two in the Pink Matchmakers series, off to the proofreaders. Cue confetti. And mild panic. This one needed a little extra massaging before I felt brave enough to hit send. Some books sprint to the finish line. Love Struck? She strutted… stalled… demanded better…

February 10, 2026

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…

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…
