Hi everyone! This year has been weird. It went by very slow but super fast all at the same time. My friend Nic came from Australia to Sacramento, and we drove all the way along the coast to Portland and then met Teegan a friend we both know from our Twilight Fanfiction days, and we all drove to Forks. I still cannot belive we went there, and I think I was kinda in shock the whole time.

Then in September I went to Australia and Nic drove us from Brisbane to her house and I got to see The Big Banana, I didn't know they grew banana's in Australia. We saw whales and a huntsman spider being pecked by a blackbird with blue eyes, lots of big lizards, turkeys that look different than the ones in the US, went into a glow worm cave, and I got to meet her dog Murphy before we flew to Melbourne.

All in all it was a fun year, and I hope all of you had a great 2025 too and we all have a FABULOUS 2026! I won't be writing as many books this year, well I don't plan to, sometimes the characters have other ideas. But I will be releasing more paranormal, small town, hockey romance, a fairytale retelling and who knows what else, and I hope you'll all be along for the ride!

Also if you haven't watched Heated Rivalry YOU NEED TO! I just started the first book in the series, Game Changer, it's Kip and Scott's story and I'm loving it. I'm so glad the books are out, now I have something to keep me busy until the next season comes out.

Here's my year end for 2025, I cannot believe I released so many books and audios, and honestly I doubt it happens again HAHA. Big shoutout to Guy Veryzer who did all but one of the audios.

Remember When

https://books2read.com/RWhen

A night to remember, a confession, and a lifetime of love in this small town, friends to lovers Christmas romance.

Andrew Lawson’s life in Sacramento has turned from being everything he dreamed of growing up, to a lonely place where finding someone special to share his life with is impossible. When the first person he meets on returning home for Thanksgiving is his childhood friend Link, it’s a reminder of happier times when his whole future lay in front of him. Agreeing to a drink before heading to his parent’s place is a way to reconnect, and a great way to start the holiday.

Link Stanton never considered leaving the small farming town he grew up in, but he misses Andy more than he’ll ever admit. Secretly lusting after a friend is bad enough but being in love with him is so much worse. One drink with friends seems harmless enough, after all, catching up on old times can’t be a bad thing, until beers turn to shots, and Link reveals how he really feels.

Everything could change, and if Andrew doesn’t remember Link’s heartfelt confession, they could carry on as friends. But, if he does remember, this could be either the worst, or the best, Christmas of all.
