Now Out! St. Paul University Box Set

Hi everyone!

The past few weeks, while I was one-handed, I couldn't type a lot, but I could do revisions. So I spent some time updating and improving each of the books in this SPU series because I love the characters and the St. Paul U setting. The setting with all the quirky secondary characters and places, like BMOC House, make me want to visit there in real life--which is always the reason I create places.

Did I model St. Paul U after a real place? Sort of. I combined the elite vibe of places like St. Paul's Academy or Philips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, with the setting and scale of the University of New Hampshire and created the fictional college that would have been cool to attend. sigh

But we all get to attend college at SPU and jump into the lives of the characters while we read, and that's the fun of reading, right?

The 3-book set of the St. Paul University Players including substantially UPDATED versions of Your Kiss is on My List and Best Things in Life is OUT NOW! Check out the NEW Excerpt below! ⬇️⬇️ ⬇️⬇️

At SQ's House

This weekend my friends and I celebrated another birthday and went to Plymouth, MA to a spa and brunch at the waterfront. ❤️ ➜➜

In an abundance of cooking ambition, I baked a cake from scratch for the occasion, which I haven't done in years. Since the cake is more than half gone, I call that a success.

In bigger news--My sling is gone! I'm typing with two hands now and finally able to make good writing progress ✍️

In football 🏈 news, I'm back to rooting for the Patriots and Mac Jones this week--in addition to my new dream team, the Buffalo Bills 💜

3rd Excerpt from the UPDATED Your Kiss Is on My List

TREY

“Damn, that cake smells good,” Nate says.

“I don’t know how you can smell past the garlic in that scampi.” I aim my fork at his dish.

We both fill our mouths with enough food to keep us quiet. But it’s my fucking head that keeps making noise at me.

Then the back door creaks open slowly and I turn to see who it is because normally the guys crash into the house loud and fast. I drop my fork then shoot to my feet.

“Dani.” What are you doing here? I’m smart enough not to ask that question out loud. Dumb enough to be happy before I know the answer.

“Baby,” she says. She stands just inside the door as if she’s uncertain about her welcome and guilt crashes down on me. Fuck.

“Doll,” I say automatically, scraping my chair back and going to her.

“Guess I’ll eat my cake in my room,” Nate says, but I don’t bother responding to him.

Dani doesn’t say anything, watching Nate as he pushes past us to go upstairs, carrying the whole cake—or whatever I’ve left of it—with him. A reprimand on behalf of my housemates—because I’m the house president—is on the tip of my tongue, but it stays there and I swallow it back down because I don’t give a fuck about anything but resolving whatever shit there is between me and Dani right now.

“Want a seat? I’d offer you cake but fucking Nate took it all—” She smiles and shakes her head, her eyes on me like if she blinks I’ll disappear. Kind of how I feel.

“I’m desperate to talk. It was all a misunderstanding.” She whispers the words as I guide her to the table and pull out a chair for her like we’re on a date at a restaurant. It's damn awkward, but I don’t know how else to act. This is how I feel and I’m going on instinct because trying to be smart or strategic doesn’t work worth shit when it comes to Dani.

“A misunderstanding?” I sit and lean forward to make sure I hear every word she whispers. She leans in too, nodding. I’m not sure what it means—whether she wants to be lovers or friends but I don’t ask. I wait because I’m too fucking afraid of messing up—yet again.

“Yes. We have to be friends, Trey.”

Her words are like a shot to my heart with a golden bullet. They kill me and fill me with relief at the same time...

He Has Pluck

"Loved Hockey Boy and Ice Chip! This book was a great story! I loved it from beginning to end...love the story and Jason’s sweet fragile heart. He’s 21, she’s 27. So a little older woman younger man vibe as well. Over all a great story. Will love reading the next one!"
