HATE ME UNDER THE MISTLETOE is now live!
It seems early for Christmas, but it’s never too early for Christmas romance, am I right?
Let’s get in the spirit!
I actually started this book last Christmas when I was under the influence of twinkle lights, carols, and shortbread. My author friends Jami Davenport, Kat Mizera, and Tess Thompson and I had the idea to write a set of Christmas stories set in the fictional mountain town of Garland Grove, where it’s aaaaalll about Christmas.
Be sure to check out their stories as well, coming each week!

Big Witch Energy is now out!
I know this book is different. I know not everyone enjoys stories about witches. But I hope you’ll give this book a chance, because it’s really not that different from my other books. Yes, there are some magical powers. There’s still lots of spice. (Imagine—being able to make your clothes disappear when things are heating up…) There’s still lots of humor. And there are lessons about life that apply to all of us, witch or “Rucker,” as we normal beings are called in the book. And we read romance…so we already know that love is the greatest magic of all.
Life’s a witch, and then you fly.
I wrote this book because the pandemic sucked the creativity out of me, and I wanted to do something that got me writing again. And it was so fun! Okay, it was hard, too, because I wasn’t totally confident in my ability to pull this off. But I like a challenge, and growing as an author.

I’m getting lots of questions about what's coming next for me! Well...this is it! I wrote something really different for me...but it was so much fun! The pandemic really hit my creativity and motivation hard, so when I had this idea, I wanted to write it-- even knowing that it's different and not for everyone. That's okay! Lots more hockey romance is in the pipe! But for now...
Life’s a witch, and then you fly.
Romy Larson
The tequila made me do it—throw caution to the wind to take a DNA test. Now I know why “who’s your daddy” is a dangerous question. Dad’s a witch, with a whole magical family I knew nothing about.
Discovering I have magic isn’t the only shock (though it explains a lot). There’s a familiar face among the noisy, joyful Candler clan. A fostered son named Trace—the only other time in my play-it-safe life I did something crazy. A night of madcap fun and sizzling kisses.
Trace Holcomb
I mistook Romy for my blind date, and it was the best mistake I ever made. Her lips on mine were like magic, like hunger, like the promise of more. And then the other shoe—more like the hammer—dropped. Though the Candlers opened their big hearts to me when my family died, the truth is, Romy belongs. I don’t.
Now it’s up to me to run Romy through a crash course in remedial magic before she loses it forever. As the smoke clears from her first disastrous spells, something else becomes clearer. Our attraction wasn’t a fluke. And she could be the key to making one impossible dream come true…

New release!
Yay! Talk Hockey to Me is now available!
Last year when I was writing this book, I was afraid I would never finish it. We all know how difficult last year was (and still is). My writing was seriously impacted. I started writing it, then stopped. This took way longer than it should have. But I did go back to it and persevered and finished the book. And I think it turned out great. (Readers do too, so far, so yay!)
Then I wasn’t sure it would be published. After waiting a couple of months, my publisher decided they aren’t publishing any more books. I was okay with that, mostly happy to have a decision, because I could publish it myself. And I did. After time for edits, cover, blurb, etc. we finally have Talk Hockey to Me out in the wild!
It won’t be that long until my next release — stay tuned!

Cover reveal!
It’s been a while coming, but I finally l have another book releasing, and we have a cover! Isn’t it beautiful?
TALK HOCKEY TO ME will be out May 10, 2021! This is the third Bears Hockey novel. I’m excited!

Happy New Year!
I’m a little late posting this here on the blog. I hope you had the best holidays possible under the circumstances, most important is staying safe and healthy. Hope is here…with an end to this pandemic on the horizon with a vaccine coming. We just have to stay strong a little longer.
I see authors posting how many books they published in 2020, how many words they wrote – well I have no idea how many words I wrote lol. I did have 5 books come out and I’m so happy that people are continuing to buy books and read. I’ve heard from readers that reading is helping them get through this challenging time, and I’m so happy to do some small part to help.
I had a hard time writing in 2020, so this year may see fewer books released from me. It is what it is. Right now I’m feeling good and working hard.
I think 2020 was a crap year for a lot of people, and we're all hoping 2021 is a better year. But every year, bad things happen. This virus isn't going to end overnight. Racism and white supremacy aren't going to end overnight. Climate change isn't going to be solved tomorrow. And who knows what else could happen in 2021!
But 2021 will be a better year if we learn from what happened in 2020. If we learn to fight for racial justice, to protect our earth, and to make time with loved ones a priority even when we can go anywhere and do anything we want. And I’m hoping I can focus and write!
Wishing you a better, safe, and healthy 2021!

YOU HAD ME AT HOCKEY is here!
It’s release day for YOU HAD ME AT HOCKEY!
I’m super stoked about the how readers are receiving this book. It was fun to write a character like Sara, and of course it was exciting to write a second generation Heller boy!
Can a spirited, down-to-earth influencer get an uptight hockey player out of his shell?
Josh
I am a warrior. That’s been my motto since I recovered from a near-death accident when I was younger. Now I enjoy my nice, settled life in Dallas playing pro hockey—a boring life is better than being dead. I’m not a party guy or an adventurer; I like my routine and peace and quiet. So being traded to New York is the worst possible change that could happen. And meeting unfiltered and fascinating Sara Carrington throws my life into even more chaos.
Sara
I’ve been considered weird my whole life, which is why I’m still a virgin, but I’ve turned it into a career with my YouTube videos. Who knew people would love watching me talk about my zits, taste test meatless burgers, and try to learn TikTok dances! Now I’m launching a podcast. Getting hockey star Josh Heller as a guest will help gain listeners for sure. I expect a bearded jock with no teeth and nothing to say, but I get a hot as H-E-double-hockey-sticks grouch with a surprisingly dirty mind. My mission to make him laugh is successful, but I want to know why he’s so uptight underneath that panty-dropping smile. Maybe I can teach Josh to have some fun . . . and maybe he can teach me a thing or two along the way. . . .
As I posted this, I realized I haven’t blogged for a while. Like many of you, my life is pretty uneventful right now. Due to COVID I’ve been staying home for the last ten months. I haven’t seen extended family since last Christmas. And we’re in a terrible second wave right now here, so things are locked down again. Christmas this year is going to be different. It’s disappointing, but it’s only one year, and it’s more important that we get through this. So we’ll be creative with Zoom and with our gift exchange.
Obviously, I haven’t been able to do the traveling I was supposed to this year, but I’ve been hanging out with my author friends in video chat rooms. We’ve done a couple of all day “retreats” where we talk business stuff, brainstorm, and do writing sprints. Then we have happy hour! It’s been a lot of fun and helps get through the solitude. And this past weekend I attended the Romance Author Mastermind conference. It was supposed to be in Houston, but we met online instead. It was really great! Lots of good information packed into an exhausting agenda, and almost as good as being there in person!
My writing production has been slow this year, and that could affect my release schedule in 2021. I hate that, but it’s definitely been a challenging year. I did finish writing a book last week though—stay tuned for more details! It’s tentatively titled TALK HOCKEY TO ME and it’s another Bears Hockey book.
I have lots of ideas to work on, never fear!
