Howdy y'all,

For those of you new to my newsletter I wanted to say hi, thank you for joining the crazy, and talk a little about what I think makes me different as an author. There are so many authors out there who write contemporary romance and I know to grab readers attention there has to be a little something 'extra' in the pages, right? An X-factor.

So tell me readers, what do you look for in an author? What do your fave one-click authors have in common?

I think for me, it's my male mental health storylines, and mental health altogether. I have a tendency to talk about things in my books that society deems 'taboo', things that so many people can relate to, or face in their daily lives, but aren't really talked about or dealt with (for example male mental health, miscarriage, grief and trauma.)

In other news, I've written a Jeremy-Chelsea short story for an upcoming anthology, I've started a Lisa-AJ short story for my own anthology 'Good Vibes' coming out in August, AND I've gone and landed myself in the middle of a 6-book new hockey romance world that won't leave me alone, so I'm going to have to give that some attention too... make the voices stop screaming ;)

I hope you're all doing fab-tastically. Things here are still locked all-the-way down, but I've at least got my dates for my vaccinations, which means the only thing standing between me and a trip 'home' to the US this fall is a shiny new passport!

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?
