Reader Reviews:
5 Stars! This was my first book in Love & Other Calamities Romantic Comedy series and it was funny and entertaining romcom. Definitely inspired me to look for more reads from the Author and this series.
5 Stars! Janie would be more then happy if she didn’t have to see Keon, her ex boyfriend, before her friend’s wedding but somehow her friends and family have other plans. This book was so fun to read, the bride could almost be called Bridezilla
Hey there, if you’ve been with me for awhile, you’re probably wondering where I went.
I’ll be honest and say I nearly gave up writing during a time when I felt like I should have been celebrating my recovery from chemo and radiation for Triple Negative Breast Cancer. It just didn’t go that way.
Chemo and radiation took a lot more out of me than I realized. THEN my husband and I contracted COVID for the first time.
THEN I got depressed. So much so that my mood affected my sleep to the point where I needed to be hospitalized.
I hope you haven’t suffered from a long depression. I’ve had highs and lows before, but never like what I experienced this winter. I’ve never needed to take depression meds.
Now, I am on a couple of medications but hope to whittle those down as I continue to heal.
Long story short, I haven’t written since BEFORE BRADY came out.
***AND NOW COMES THE BIG CHANGE!!***
After several years of marketing my books Wide (on all retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Google Play, and Apple Books), I’ve made the decision to go exclusive to Amazon, which might delight you or tick you off.
Yes, I’m moving my books into Kindle Unlimited!!
I’m excited about this. It will make it easier to schedule promotions. Plus, it gives access to a readership I didn’t have before.
Keeping my books wide might look simple. On the back end, life will be less stressful only dealing with one retailer.
If I find being in KU isn’t working, then I’ll put my books wide again but with a more streamlined process behind the scenes.
As of this typing, my books are in the process of being removed from Google Play, Apple, Kobo, BN, and Draft2Digital, but places like D2D aggregate to third-party retailers and I need to make sure all the books are gone from those retailers before I enroll them in KU.
I’ll let you know when the process is complete. For now, my books are available for sale on Amazon as per normal.
I hope I don’t lose you as a reader by making this move, but it’s something I need to try.
Now, here’s a picture of my hair 8 months post-chemo. It’s at a weird mullet/shag point of growing out, and I dinna like it very much. I can rock a pixie, but my hair grows fast so short would require Too Many Haircuts. I can’t wait until it’s the length it was before, between my chin and shoulders. But at least I ain’t bald anymore.
Before Brady releases December 12th and is a Top Indie Favorites pick for December and January from Barnes and Noble. Yay!!
I should be all over social media with this news.
I’m not.
I have my newsletters scheduled to go out, and some wonderful authors are gonna be picking up my slack, sharing news about my release when I won’t be feeling up to it.
I’m not going into details right now, but the upshot is I’ve had some unsettling medical news and will be having surgery two days after Before Brady releases. So now while I’m in between prep stages and feeling good enough to slap a smile on my face, let’s hear it for Before Brady!
Coming in four days! On Apple Books, Amazon, Kobo, Google Play Books, and Barnes and Noble!
I have another book coming out. And two more in the Love & Other Calamities Romantic Comedy series coming in 2024.
Before Brady: A Never-Him Bridesmaid Romance is Book 3 in the series and features Alicia Maxwell, the hostess for the bachelorette party in Book 1, and Brady Jacobs, a police officer under her father’s command in fictional Briarton, WA.
The story:
She has one rule. Never date a cop. But he craves so much more than her cupcakes…
He’s speeding into her heart…
Alicia Maxwell feels pulled in a million directions trying to make her cupcake shop a success. Nothing will stand in her way. Especially not sexy cop Brady Jacobs, who gave her a speeding ticket with a twinkle in his eyes. Then claimed he was just doing his job!
But when chaos erupts in the weeks before a friend’s wedding, Brady turns on the help. And the charm. Ultra-focused Alicia needs neither. Not his fiery touches. Or his sweet kisses. Not—
Oh, no, what is happening? Before long, Alicia yearns for Brady’s heart and his arms…but has she missed her chance?
Coming in December! But you can preorder on all the major eBook retailers now!
Cover designer Kim Killion did an awesome job of rebranding Love & Other Calamities Romantic Comedy! Loving this new cover for Catching Claire: An Instalove Maid of Honor Romance – available now!
Catching Claire, Book 2, Love & Other Calamities Romantic Comedy
Did they share all the right moves last night?
She’s falling fast!
When Claire Merriweather hires sexy future doctor Ridge Pederson to strip at a friend’s bachelorette party, she never imagines she’ll wake up in his bed. Well, she imagines it—but now it’s happened.
Big problem: Claire’s memory is fuzzy. Did they do the bouncy or did Ridge reject her?
Either way…uh-oh, her heart is in trouble!
