Let’s Get Personal

I wanted to tell you guys a little bit about myself today, as long as you don’t think that’s too vain. I mean, it’s my newsletter, so you should hear a little bit about me personally, right?
I recently (like yesterday) had someone comment on Boots to the Ground, talking about how it hit close to home for them. It hit close to home for me, too, just so you know.
I grew up in a home filled with violence and the dark and twisty things tha...

I’ve got a bite of information

I want to build a blanket fort and just grab my pillows and get comfy and hide out from the rest of the world. Instead, I’m going to crack open my laptop and write the next release.

Speaking of that, did you know that Dom Ortiz, the main character in Bite the Bullet, is afraid of flip flops (la chancla)? That and zombies. 

If you didn’t already, you do now! Oh – and Emma Hayes, Linc and Danny’s little sister, and one of Kennedy’s best ...

Are You Ready to Get Boots on the Ground?

BOOTS ON THE GROUND IS NOW AVAILABLE
-This is not a drill… I repeat, this is not a drill-

I have had countless emails, social media messages, and even phone calls from friends and Fanavans who want to know about Kennedy and Linc’s story. To the point that it gave me almost performance anxiety while I made sure that I did them justice. Their story is beautiful, heartbreaking, and might be the reason you lose sleep a...

Let’s Talk About Toxic People

One of my favorite things in the entire fuckin’ world is when I come across something like I did today.So – I hope by now that everyone in my life knows that I own my toxicity.I’m a dick, that’s always been true.But I was also raised in a completely toxic environment. You don’t even understand.We’re talking drugs, abuse, all of it.So when I grew up, I treated people the way I’d literally been raised to treat them.Take what ...

Let Me Be Clear

Let me be clear, in case you didn’t already know.I’m not the most social person. I like to sit at home with my books and my dog and my coffee and my things. I’m a homebody, and always have been.I’m not gonna just show up anywhere. Your house, a party, a social gathering, anywhere. That’s not who I am. If you want me there, tell me. If you need help, ask. I’ll be there to do whatever you tell me to. I may not know anything abou...

Are You Ready for What Comes Next?

Okay, I feel like it’s been forever already, and I just can’t take it anymore. Did you get your hands on Balls to the Wall? If you already got it and read it, did you love it? Did you hate it? Can you wait to see what happens for Linc and Kennedy in Boots on the Ground?

I know I can’t freaking wait for you to get it on 3.30.21, that’s for sure.

Let’s Go Balls to the Wall

Balls to the Wall is fucking herrrreeeeee. 
^That’s me – singing and being very discordant^
Parker and Remy… There’s a reason that they’re the couple to start off this series. That reason is the fact that their story sets the stage for everything that comes next. All of their history comes out. Watch desolation, rage, love, regret, and much more weave together to introduce you to the world and characters in the Birch P...

Balls to the Wall Announcement

You’re the first to know

If you don’t know already, Casey Hagen and I are literally best friends. She’s family to me, and the same goes the other way. She’s been there at the drop of a hat, and I know for a fact that she’d help me get rid of a body.

Well, in writing Balls to the Wall, I got to talking to her about her schedule and what she was writing. It turns out, she’s got a series coming out at the same time, ALSO taking place in M...

Blink and You’ll Miss it.

Everything is Changing

Blink and you’ll miss it. At least, that’s what I feel like. As Eva’s story starts to turn and become something more than I ever planned, I hope y’all stay with me. I hope you love her, that you see she’s just like we are. Crass, sassy, and sometimes lost while she searches for herself. While her story shifts, I hope you continue to follow along as our Surprise Goddess finds her place in the wo...

Do you want to get Cocky with me?

If you’ve been around for any amount of time, you’ll have been harassed by my announcement that I am writing in the Cocky Hero World. Cocky Corporal is the result of that participation and I literally CANNOT WAIT to hear what you think. If you love my Birch County Universe, you’re going to love this story. PLUS – you’ll see some familiar characters from Stuck-up Suit by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. What are you wait...
