LATEST NEWS & UPDATE:

Hey hockey fans,

I wrote this email before the tragic events of October 28th so I wanted to mentioned the passing of Adam Johnson at one of the games here in the UK last month.

The Nottingham Panthers aren't my local team, but the hockey family is just one, and we're all mourning the loss of Adam and thinking of Matt (the guy whose skate caused the injury). My thoughts are with his family, friends, team and the whole Panthers organization.

Tribute outside my home arena <3

Anyway, here's the newsletter I originally wrote:

Happy No-freakin-vember, Cliterature lovers!

November is a big month for me - I'll be sliding into your emails next week with a brand new release!

I can hardly believe we're almost at the end of 2023. Good riddance, that's what I say. I know my word of the year was growth, but JFC I could have done without some of that painful growth this year - know what I'm sayin'?

I'm looking forward to 2024, I get to start over with a new calendar on my wall, new goals, and new books that I'm going to boss the absolute shit out of for you guys - I'm serious. Watch this space. Great stories are coming next year, and I can't wait to share them with y'all.

Most of you know I've been a hockey fan since I was a little girl. The Mighty Ducks was my favorite movie as a child, I'd watch those movies on repeat and became quickly obsessed with the sport.

When I was a teen, I'd get the bus into Belfast to go to Giants games. I have all manner of history to share with you about my love of hockey, but the point is, HOCKEY IS BACK, Y'ALL.

A few weeks ago, I went to our preseason game in Belfast. I happened to photobomb the woman in front of me and her daughter who were taking a couple of snaps for Snapchat.

I offered them a signed copy of Crashing the Net, but the woman doesn't read fiction. I told them my name (out loud, didn't write it down), and then this happened on my social media:

I guess the moral of the story is that if you have an unusual name and put your life on the internet, people will find you and tag you on social media when you photobomb them at a hockey game.

I mean, how could I *not* know that was going to happen?

Many of you know Editor Jess - she's a romance editor for many recognizable names in the genre (such as Pippa Grant and Lucy Score). She's currently in Ireland for an author/editor retreat, and I get to see her next week for a retreat with some of my author friends.

Y'all, if I don't return it's because she's murdered me and buried me in Sligo because I've asked her so many questions her head's exploded. Or I've missed the editing deadline for Raffi and Tori.

Avenge me!!

Speaking of Raffi and Tori, in case you haven't yet pre-ordered it, Lighting the Lamp is coming February 1st 2024, and it's shaping up to be a doozy!!! Pre-order it here.

Until next time,

Have you joined my reader group yet? If not, then head over to: Margaritas, Men and Mischief with Lasairiona. As the name suggests, it's a place for my readers to chat about all things romance - with a healthy dose of sarcasm, sharp wit, conversations comprised entirely of GIFs, sneak peeks, giveaways and a plethora of memes. It's one of my absolute favorite places on the internet and I'm really enjoying getting to know readers that bit better over there. Don't be shy - we don't bite... much! Come on over!

Justin

I thought I’d left my past in Minnesota when I moved to Iowa, but it was right there waiting for me.

Long blonde hair, curves in all the right places, and a death glare that hits harder than a slap shot to the solar plexus. On the ice, I’m a pro at blocking shots, but Savannah Bowen has slipped behind all my defenses and made a home in my heart.

I had no intention of revisiting the past, but when she’s damn near everywhere I go, I’m a goner.

Savannah

Hell freakin’ no.

It doesn’t matter that Justin Ashe is seven feet tall and sexy as sin, or that I’ve had a crush on him for years. He cheated on my best friend in high school, and that makes him off limits.

I can’t be with him, but damn, it’s impossible to stay away from him. Girl Code says uteruses before duderuses.

He’s supposed to be my enemy, but the more I see of him, the blurrier the lines get.
