My Running Playlist!

A popular topic… What do you listen to when you run?!? I know some people like the silence so they can think, but UGH. I need music or I’ll croak. Mine’s all fun stuff I know really well that I can zone out to or kind of do my dorky treadmill dance. (I’ve only fallen […]

My near future plans for books… series, stand alone titles etc. :) (for everyone who has asked!!)

  Hi Everyone!! I’ve been getting a lot of questions about  my plans for certain series, sequels etc. so I thought I’d lay it all out:) I apologize in advance for blabbing. This is a bit of a long post! I just wanted everyone who has questions to know what I’ve been up to:) Series/Books […]

My Top 5 Favorite Bands:)

I’ve pretty much figured I’m done working for at least an hour or two. I went diving into itunes…and that usually takes a while to surface.  So I figured I’d make a list of my favorite bands. ALL of them have made it onto at least one book’s playlist, if not many or all the […]

Hmmm What to Get Next?? (AKA MJ wants a new tattoo)

I already have….   1. A  Shamrock 2. Seven multi colored butterflies with swirly lines through them 3.

More Music Inspiration and another bit of Newton’s Laws:)

A little while ago I posted a quick excerpt from my upcoming book Newton’s Laws of Attraction:) I also posted a playlist from Catch My Breath. I figured I’d do a bit of both with this post. The Main song from my Newton’s Laws playlist, and another small chunk of the book! Sometimes one song […]

Catch My Breath Playlist:)

Hello Lovelies! One thing I do pretty regularly is release the playlist of songs I’d made for my current book release back when I was working on it. I always make one. Although I don’t listen to it when I write, but I listen to it all over the place when I’m thinking and planning […]

New Book Coming this fall!!

Yay!! I just heard from Dreamspinner Press today and my next book, Newton’s Laws of Attraction, is in their schedule for late fall. It should be out sometime in November or December of this year:) To celebrate, I thought I’d put up a (very unedited) excerpt from chapter one. This chapter is a bit of […]

One of my favorite things:)

Pink Champagne Cupcakes!!! Anyone who’s read Coming Home, knows I have a thing for cupcakes. Mmmmm frosting!! In that book, it’s red velvet cupcakes, and a lot of cream cheese frosting, but pink champagne cupcakes might even be better (at least I think so!) This isn’t my own recipe, just one I found a long […]
