Fall (head over heels) for Small Town Romances!⛰️

Some days, I wish I live in Green Mountain TN tooIt says a lot since I live less than an hour-drive from the Canadian Rockies and one of the two most beautiful Canadian towns in my opinion. Trust me on this. I've lived many places in Canada and if you have to visit, don't miss Banff AB and Quebec City QC. I know, I know, they are on opposite sides of the country, but they both deserve the hype. Did you know Quebe...

All Readers Love Great Bookish News

Ready for some bookish news?If you've been following my life for the past eight months, you know I've been RVing full time with my husband and kids. We've spent time all over Canada and the US.  For about the same amount of time, I've been selling my books (ebooks included) on my website, which was the highlight of my last year as an author (in addition to all the releases). I'm so grateful for all the love my bo...

My Romance Author Life On The Road

Okay, let's be honest here for a second. 2022 has been one hell of a year. Positive or negative? Something I'm not quite sure. So far I've grown up a lot as a human being and an author, that's for sure. But some of the challenges I went through are still on my can't-decide-the-outcome yet. Being an author is the most rewarding job (after being a mom), but it can also be challenging. In 2022, I've spent most of my romance author life on the road. Now that's I'm settling down somewhere, I'm trying...

Falling For The Bad Guy

I'm working on a new series. And as I'm writing, I keep asking myself: should the heroine fall for the nice guy or shouldn't she be falling for the bad guy instead?Yes, it's a true problem. A romance author's problem for sure. Hear me out. In real life, the heroine should (always) fall for the nice guy, right? The one who doesn't carry heavy emotional baggage and who has his sh*t together. That's the logical choice, no? But what if the bad guy wasn't as bad as he lets us believe? What if he had...

My Romance Author Inspiration

As a romance author, I often get asked where I find my inspiration. Tricky question. And no the answer isn't my own life. Well maybe, it rubs on my writing and my stories, but no, the inspiration comes from a place I can't even name.What if I told you, I don't always have a say in my characters' journey. Like they're living in some sort of dimension and my writing give them the right to express themselves. To tell me everything about their journey.

I once watched a TED talk about Elizabeth Gilb...

(Emotional Romance) Book Hangover

Are you one of those readers who like to read books that stay with you emotionally well after you read the last page (Hello Book Hangovers!) or are you a what's next on my TBR kid of reader? Have you ever read a novel for like 6 hours straight only to forget all about the storyline or the name of the main characters by the next day? Even under torture and brain raking, you just couldn't recall any of it at all? Yeah, I'm sure it happened to all of us at least once (if not multiple times). And t...

Do You Read Standalone Books or Series

Are you a book series or a standalone type of reader? Duets, trilogies, interconnected standalone books. When you read romance novels, which format do you prefer? Each one has its pros and its cons. I could say the same with cliffhangers, or opened endings when you have to imagine what happens next because the author won't tell you.

Romance Books: Are You a Dual POV Fan?

In romance books, there are single, dual, and multiples POVs. There are books written in the first person, other in the third person, present and past verb tenses. So many options. Are they all born equal?Growing up, I was reading thrillers. I love everything about cops' stories and solving murders. Those books are mostly narrated in the third person form a single point of view (POV). But then romance authors started writing in the first person and in dual POV. And then I was hooked. 

 

In my ...

Emotional Romance Books or Rom-Com?

In your world, reading a romance book comes with a box of tissues (emotional romance books) or with a glass of wine or a cupcake (rom-com books)?Because no matter what type of romance books you read, there are the ones that tug at your heartstrings and play with every single emotion residing in your heart, or those that are sweet, predictable, but leave you with a smile stretching your lips. Which type of book do you usually pick when given the choice? 

I think pretty often I'm a mood reader. I...
