New year, new me?

I always love when a new year approaches or birthdays because it forces me to pontificate on the last year from the lens of living it (like this post or this one). Time is a funny thing.

My top reads for 2021

One of my personal goals is to be supportive of Indie Authors, one because I am an indie author, and two because indie authors are awesome & work so very hard to produce quality work & need our support!!! I read a lot of great indie books this year so these slots w...

“You can’t do stuff like that.”

I give him a small smile, and he leans in too quickly for me to stop it. His lips are on mine, and everything in my body ignites. I moan and gasp simultaneously. He doesn’t stop. He goes one step further and wraps his arms around me, squeezing me so tightly I feel like I might burst. More explosions ignite, little fireworks popping off inside of my fingers and my toes.

I put my hand on his chest and separate us, shaking my head.

I cover my mouth.

He shakes his head too, fierce determina...
