Hi Haley! :)

I am hoping to! I have a couple of ideas I'm kicking around, though one is for a character in the book that follows this one, Just Let Go.

I think I'd be happy if I could write in Harbor Pointe for many more books! I'm still totally loving these people! Thanks so much for reading it!

Happy Little Love Notes {And exclusive new book info!}

Dear Reader, 

I went back to figure out when was the last time I sent out a newsletter and discovered it was in March. I’m not proud of this. I have had so much to share, but I’ve been busy (aren’t we all?) and it’s kept me out of your inbox. 

I’m going to vow to do better in the upcoming months because I can’t think of many things that make me happier than connecting with readers. So, here I am

“You don't forgive people for their benefit. You do it for yours. Because if you don't, it'll eat you alive. Jealousy, envy, holding a grudge- they rot you from the inside out.”
Courtney Walsh, The Happy Life of Isadora Bentley

“Maybe these simple, little, ordinary things are the big things I’m meant to accomplish with my life.”
Courtney Walsh, The Happy Life of Isadora Bentley

“If I'm not willing to feel the pain of life, how can I ever expect to feel the joy”
Courtney Walsh, The Happy Life of Isadora Bentley
