Even If the Sky is Falling

You can get a signed (by me) copy at Dog Eared Books by visiting Dog-Eared Books' Website

This anthology includes stories from Taj McCoy Charish Reid Lane Clarke Sarah Echavarre Smith and me, about couple taking chances at what they think is the end of the world. My story is about former college rivals stuck in their own classroom building where their competition used to thrive and now their attraction mounts.

If you're an audio listener, the narrators are TOP NOTCH! My story is narrated by Teddy Hamilton who voiced Lear, Wes, and Silas in my books and Joy Beharie and...c'mon! This voice talent!

New Books!!

One of the most fun things about being an author is getting to cheer and shout about books! This week, there are three titles releasing that I'm excited about:
The Do-Over: Suzanne is one of the funniest humans and her writing draws you in--don't sleep on this one!
Ana María and the Fox Ana María and the Fox will take you on a journey and you won't want it to end. This is also an April pick for Book of the Month!
Monopolove Where have board game-inspired romance novels been all my life?! You need to know about me that I love being the banker and this book had me smiling and in my feels.

I'm going to try to be better at posting. Have you read these? What other new releases are you excited for?

JANUARY WHAT I'M READING

Here's what I'm reading over the next month. What are you looking forward to reading?

How To Fail at Flirting Q&A

On their first evening together, Naya and Jake visit (what sounds like) an amazing ice cream shop with some interesting flavours… if you could create a weird ice cream flavour yourself, what would it be? (OR what is your favourite flavour?)
I am a sucker for Butter Pecan ice cream—I’ve loved it since I was a kid; however, I found a recipe for gin and tonic ice cream and I’d love to make that again. That one is incredibly easy and the ice cream stays a little soft in the freezer from the alcohol....

My Revision Celebration Song

How to Fail at Flirting will hit shelves and e-readers in a couple months, and I've turned to working on my second book. More information about it is coming soon, but I just finished a tough round of revisions, a round of editing and breaking apart the book and putting it back together where I wasn't sure it was good anymore. I got in my head, and I questioned if I was good enough to tell the story.

It was fortuitous that as I reached the last few pages, thinking, "yeah, maybe I do have what it t...
