So, yeah, I confess—after three unsuccessful attempts—that NaNoWriMo isn’t for me! Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea, the energy, the camarader...

“Girls Are Players” Release Giveaway

In a few weeks, Girls Are Players releases! I love saying that I’m very excited to share the next book in the G.A.P series.

Now, if you’ve been following the news on The Mortal Instruments movie, you probably know it isn’t doing very well in the box office. T...

I’m so thrilled to share the cover to my sexy New Adult novel The Guys Are Props Club. The couple on the picture are perfect for Maddie and Sebastian–especially Sebastian (Oh, my!)
