Featured Author: Jackie Lau! ������������

Meet Jackie Lau A couple of years ago I discovered Canadian author Jackie Lau. She writes books that are very full of family, which you know I adore. Set in Canada (Toronto and area) and with many of them set in the big city, I like that I get a peek into a world that’s […]

Favorite Trope: Love is Love

Pride Month! This definitely isn’t a trope, but it is a topic I want to shine a bright light on. Love is for everyone. To be loved for who we are, by people who truly see us and care about us, is a wonderful thing. It’s not always a given thing, though, and to me, […]

History Flashback: the origin of the wolfies ��������

WHAT THE HECK IS A WOLFIE? I know. It���s not the usual name for a group of paranormal people who can shift into wolves. It���s not my fault���I didn���t make it up. Really! Shortly after the first book released I got mail from readers asking when the next wolfie book was going to be out. […]

I’m working on Ashton and Sonora’s story, and it’s been challenging, but fun. The theme of this holiday book is��A Christmas Carol, which means I’ve been dipping back in time to visit the ghosts of Christmas past, when the two of them met. Which also means seeing more of others, like the Stone family, and […]

Small Town Contemporary Romance? Meet the Turner Twins!

You know I love small town western romances. But did you know I also wrote a duo-logy of a regular contemporary romance set in a small town? No cowboys in sight! Instead, this one has a set of twins who are brother and sister. Add in a whole ton of family and drama and emotion […]

Featured trope: Fated Mates

There are some tropes that are truly fantastical. I might love them because they’re sort of impossible, but I WISH they were real. But more, I think it’s because the parts I love the most are the bits that I think ARE real when it comes to forever-true-happily-evers. Some people are meant to be together. […]
