Howdy y'all!

I can't believe it's mid-July. In less than four weeks, Good Vibes will drop on your Kindles, and I'm feeling all kinds of feels about that. Despite not being able to advertise the book on any platform (Facebook, Amazon, and Pinterest are seemingly offended by vibrators and think we're trying to cause some kind of Clitterati uprising by empowering women with orgasms) this is my first 3-figure preorder. I'm pretty damn proud of that.

In case you missed it, I dropped my first teaser for book one in my Snow Pirates series, Two for Interference the other day in my reader group, so I thought I'd share... isn't it glorious? I'm so excited for this book baby to burst into the world in August!

Book one is in final edits, and coming along nicely, I've plotted out books two and three and am gearing up to dive in and write until my fingers fall off. This series is thrumming through my veins and I can't write it fast enough.

It's hard during the summer months. My son is off school and we won't have any support, other than the occasional 2-3 hour summer camp, it's just my full time working husband, myself, and our lil guy. Thankfully I can ask him to go read for a while and he'll occupy himself, but balancing authoring and mothering over the summer, well, like I said, it's hard.

That's why I've taken to getting up at 5am every morning, even weekends, to cram in a few hours of work time before he gets up. It's productive time, sure, but I'm exhausted, and I still find myself wishing for more time in the day.

How are y'all handling the summer months?

What else is new with me? Well, last week I got my second vaccine, it knocked me on my butt with fatigue and a headache, but I have it, and for some reason I still don't feel any more confident going outside my door. Am I a hermit now? Did the Coronapocalypse turn me introvert? I have questions.

I also renewed my passport. My shiny new passport arrived in hand yesterday and my itchy, wanderlusty feet are twitching to travel. I have plans to visit the US in the fall, but until I know it's going to happen, I'm trying not to get too excited about it, or make too many plans.

Right, I have words that need writing, a kiddo who wants a bagel for breakfast, and a week's worth of laundry growing over my washing machine like vines of smelly ivy. It's time to actually go do some adulting. Stay safe, y'all!

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!

Intimate Strangers

Is there such a thing as too perfect?

Lisa Millar wasn’t supposed to fall in love with a guy on the Internet. But she did. Other than living over five thousand miles away in America, AJ Williams is seemingly her perfect match. Strikingly handsome, musically talented, plays hockey and has a typical college-guy life. In a moment of carpe diem, Lisa flies from Ireland to Alabama to surprise her internet-beau and finds herself face to face with an inconceivable reality that she couldn’t possibly have prepared for. How well can you truly know someone you meet online?

Will true love win out, or will AJ’s secret life be too much for Lisa to bear?

Game Changer

AJ Williams wasn’t supposed to fall in love with a girl on the internet. But he did.

Other than living over five thousand miles away in Northern Ireland, Lisa Millar is seemingly his perfect match. AJ can’t quite believe his luck, not only is she beautiful, but she has an appreciation for both music and hockey - two of his favorite things.

Surprised by Lisa turning up unannounced in Alabama, AJ is under pressure to deal with the issue at hand.

Should he risk losing her, come clean and tell her the truth?

Or should he try to keep his secret under wraps?

Will true love win out? Or will AJ’s secret be too much for Lisa to bear?

Four Letter Feelings

Jeremy Lewis has just returned from a year in Europe, ready to start college in Alabama and pursue his dream career in the National Hockey League. Other than boring school work, he’s eager to play hockey, hang out with his new teammates and maybe even rekindle an old flame when Chelsea Davis unexpectedly reappears in his life.

Life is looking pretty darn peachy.

But when his world is turned upside down by a tragic loss, merely surviving each day feels like an achievement. How can he get through college and keep his budding career on track when all he wants to do is drink and squander his parent’s fortune? Can he convince Chelsea he’s a changed man when he seems so intent on his own destruction?
