Spring Is In The Air. Can You Smell It?!
Mar 01, 2025 9:30 am
Welcome to March! Spring Fling is officially in the hands of my beta readers and I'm wrapping up my anthology story for We Shall Rise. If you've been with me through the Fighting for Love collaboration last winter, you were introduced to Nelly in my book, Fighting for Freedom. I'm finally getting the chance to bring you her story.
As far as Aiden and Joe go. Good lord! I hope you all are ready for a steamy ride! It feels surreal that I've wrapped up this series and it will soon be out in the world. It was so cool to set out to write it and actually finish it.
Have you met @insatiable.romance over on Instagram? She's absolutely lovely. I messaged her one day because I was on a mission this year. With so many upcoming signing events, I need to start being comfortable around other people and she's always posting in her stories about all the cool things she's doing.
Anyway, she sent me this flyer for this Galentines Day type event that she was helping to host and it was so much fun! Everything was romance book themed straight down to the trope tables. I sat at the friends to lovers table (my favorite trope) and met two other readers who were so different, but so much fun to talk to. One was a sci-fi romance reader and the other preferred historicals.
We played book trivia games and enjoyed book themed food and drinks.
At the end of the night, I concluded the evening with a new bookish tattoo. Because what says "I tried to overcome social awkwardness" better than getting new ink?
For those not familiar with who that is, it's Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service.
Now go give my girl Taylar a follow:

‘A unicorn walks into a bar….’ That is not a joke. Look, I’m a bartender, I have nothing to do with the xenos. I don’t care if it’s an elf or a vampire--as long as they don’t bother me, I steer clear. I have my reasons--you can see them in the scars on my neck. I never wanted to get involved. But my life changed for the second time when I saved the life of a unicorn. I made an enemy of something old--old and evil, and whatever it was, it’ll be back for another try. I also made a friend when I decided to help March. He’s only been a human man for a day. I’m responsible for him now. He’s my friend…and maybe something more. Maybe a lot more. It doesn’t matter to me that he isn’t magical anymore. I don’t care if he’s not PURE. But he does.
