1 Year Old!!!!!
Today Be My Light is one year old. I cannot believe it’s been a year since I published this book. It doesn’t seem that long ago. I still remember writing this book, editing this book, and the hives I broke out in the day before it went live.
There’s a giveaway of a paperback copy of the book and a bag on my instagram page. Go enter.

Book #13 In Progress
So I did take my much needed break until the second week of September. But now I’m back to writing everyday. Well no, I’m supposed to be taking weekends off, but uh, that didn’t quite work out today. I wrote this morning and now I’m plotting while watching a Hunger Games marathon.
Anywho, book #13 is an accidental pregnancy book. So far, I have 23k down for it. Trying to reach 40k by the end of the month. Somehow I am this far into the book and still haven’t figured out the hero and heroine’s names, let alone the side characters. Everytime I need to write their names, I’ve just been putting this ‘_____’. Horrible, I know.
Book #4 is with the editor right now and I’m hoping to publish it on November 15th. I’ll be revealing the cover soon, on here first, then on my social media accounts.
Speaking of which, on October 15th, I’ll be doing a giveaway of a signed copy of Be My Light and a small book themed bag for the book’s one year anniversary. So go follow me on instagram and be on the look-out for that.

And while book #4 is with the editor and there are those moments when I can’t write or plot but have my laptop out, I’m editing my fantasy book. I’ve really been focusing on the character descriptions during my editing, making sure they sound how I picture them in my head. As for the heroine’s outfits, I got a lot of inspiration from Pinterest, if you wanna go over there and get a sneak peek at some of the gowns the heroine wears.

A break…Maybe
Book #12 is finished. It ended up being a heck of a lot longer than I thought it would. It seemed like every time I thought I was almost done, another idea would pop into my head. There’s a lot in this book that if someone looked at my google history, would look very suspicious. It’s also the last book in a series I’ve written about people from the same town. No more characters are calling to me from it, so I think this will be the last. Now to find a cover and some pictures for edits for it.
Speaking of… Edits. I wish I knew more about them for my first three books. I have so much fun looking for pictures to use for them now. Pictures I wouldn’t use for a cover, but go along so well with the book.
I’m taking a break until the kids go back to school because man, do they make writing extra hard. So that’s about a week and a half to finish plotting other books, get book #4 to the editor, and work on that book’s cover a little more. The picture I chose for it is so, so nice. Or, at least I think so.
Looking forward to getting back to work though because the days feel weird without sitting with my laptop for a few hours.

Cover Reveal for Just Fake It

Just Fake It
Releasing July 15, 2019
Now available for pre-order: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TVPGP23
Blurb:
The date has been picked; the planning has begun. All that’s needed now is a groom.
Angela never saw herself asking a complete stranger to marry her, but with her wedding drawing closer, she’s left with little choice. The arrangement is simple. Convince her parents they’re head over heels for each other, get married, and then go their separate ways.
But she didn’t anticipate her heart having plans of its own.
Tristan thought he was meeting her for their first date, but ends up getting a marriage proposal instead. His past makes it easy to understand why Angela needs a fake fiancé. And how hard could it be to go along with her charade anyway?
But his feelings never agreed to play by the rules.
Neither of them considered what would happen when faking it stopped being enough. What do you do when you start falling for the person you’re marrying?

Fantasy In The Works
Okay, so book 3 is in it’s third round of edits and I’m looking at publishing it in mid-July. I’ve got the cover and title (finally) figured out. It’s a fake marriage romance and I am loving it more and more everytime I re-read it.
I’m plotting out book 11, which will be based off a character from book 10. Nervous to be writing a series, as that’s a lot of timelines and stories to match up. But very, very excited. The character just kept talking to me, so I figured I should listen, right? Plus the guy in book 10 is from book 7, so AHHH! Now to figure out a series name.
But the biggest news, for me anyway, is that I’m working on a fantasy book. I’m already 75k done with it and have another 7 or 8 (long) chapters to go. I have fallen in love with this book. Building my own world, figuring out the names, and kingdoms, what makes them different and alike. It’s all been very fun. I have been looking for the cover ever since I wrote what the main characters will look like, but haven’t been all that successful in finding anything pre-made. So if anyone knows some great illustrators, let me know.
That’s all for now. I’ll post when book 3 is available for pre-order. And I’ll even tell you guys the title now. *whispers* Just Fake It *shh*
Write soon. Bye,
