My Bookish Year (2020)
WRITING
No publications this year, though I have a number of books out on submission. Sadly, Mike and Angel 5 is on hiatus. I'm stuck and other projects have been more pressing.
As planned I finished the first draft of Path of Power 2 in January, then returned to revising my YA fantasy Replacing the Princess, which I finally completed in July. From August to October, I wrote the first draft of the Read more of this blog post »

| Competent heroine with a vulnerable core is my candy. A great example of how backstory can be compelling and twist the main character into knots. Also strong world-building and found family. Looking forward to book two! | |

"I have to." A regretful sigh. "And it's best if you don't remember any mermen." He tucked a strand of wet hair behind her ear. His voice stroked her skin like velvet. "Forget me."
