Goodbye August

September is here. But even more importantly, fall is here. And last year, something happened to me that transformed me into a fall-loving person when my favorite season has always been spring before. So I’ve been longing for fall for weeks already; I’ve been craving lit candles and full red wines and hearty stews and warming soups and evenings spent reading in front of a sparkling fire. And now that time is finally here. Yay.

But before this blog goes into full-blown autumn-mode, let’s take...

Sometimes You Need a Break

Yesterday morning’s writing happened at the kitchen table. My computer was already downstairs from the evening before, and I was in dire need of an ocean of tea, so I decided that it was best if I was close to the kettle. I spent three lovely hours with my best writing buddies; Ally and Ofelia/Holly, and when we closed down the morning office in favor of breakfast, I said I’ll definitely write more today, I have a deadline.

But when I made breakfast, the hubby asked if I wanted him t...

All I’ll Ever See: cover and pre-order link

I have a cover for All I’ll Ever See! And a release day! And a pre-order link! Wohooo, lots of goodies all at once.

And if you have forgotten, All I’ll Ever See is what happened when I decided to write a prequel to my short freebie All I See and the prequel turned into an expanded version that’s close to 15000 words (instead of the 4633 words of the original story.)

It will be released on September 11…which also happens to be my birthday, so happy birthday to me!

Are you ready for th...

Sunday Book Recommendation

I love him.

Even after three years, saying so astounds me. Spoken. Written. Aloud. Shared. I love him, he loves me, and sometimes he rests a hand in my wolf’s fur while posed on the throne and every inch a ruler, and when in human shape I spoke my marriage-vows to him I thought I might shapeshift into a pool of gold out of sheer magical happiness.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know that I absolutely adore K.L. Noone’s writing (search her name on my ...

New Release Spotlight: Bear Claw by Holly Day

Today, my dear friend Holly Day is back on the blog with her newest release, Bear Claw. I’m scheduling this blog post during one of my early morning writing sessions, and the pictures made my mouth water and I’m craving a bear claw and macarons and pastry for breakfast. Maybe Holly should apologize for that, too?!

Nah, just kidding. No need to apologize, but maybe since we only live a couple hours from each other, she should compensate me by sending me a box of pastries? Everyone in favor, ...

There’s Something About Lighthouses…

I have a thing for lighthouses. I don’t know what draws me to them so much, but I think they’re beautiful and intriguing. I harbor a secret dream to actually live in one; to live surrounded by the ocean rocked to sleep by the waves every night sounds fantastic. I realize the real world version of living in a lighthouse probably wouldn’t be as glamorous and all the stairs would drive me crazy.

But that doesn’t stop me from looking at them with hearts in my eyes whenever I come across one. And...

Last Chance to Download All I See

I promised you in my Goodbye July post that I’d tell you more about my WIP that I was working on in one of the pictures, and now the time has come.

A while back, I got an idea that I’d write a prequel to my short freebie All I See, to write about how Theo and Kieran got together, so I grabbed my favorite fountain pen and got to work. Over time, and with some very useful input from my publisher, the idea grew and changed, and turned into an expanded version of the original story.

Which me...
