Hello !

It's been a few weeks since I darkened your email doorstep.

I hope you're well and enjoying the change in seasons—staying safe from extreme weather and extreme socialization, if that's something you're now allowed to do. 😀

In the last month, squashed between the moments I'll collectively refer to as "life," I finished writing a novella and the next book in the Mixed Six-Pack series (which I hope to have news about in a couple of weeks).

And the novella? It's available for pre-order for just $0.99!

It's one of 12 stand-alone stories that all take place in the same college in rural Vermont. Here's the cover and the blurb:

If it weren’t for the squashed bug on the window, I wouldn’t be in this mess.

When my Neuroscience professor demanded to know the title of my thesis, I should have said, “undecided.” But knowing I’d be docked a grade point for not being prepared, I blurted out the first thing that popped into my head: “Mind Over Splatter.”

It was a joke. What can I say? The dead bug looked like a Rorschach inkblot.

Now I need to find an art major willing to be my research buddy.

So when a super cute guy with paint on his chin is tossed in my path, I pounce. After strongly suggesting I can guarantee him an easy A, he agrees to help. All he has to do is wear an EEG machine while he paints.

But the joke’s on me because the way my brain lights up when he kisses me is a data point I really wasn’t prepared for.

Pre-order Abbie and Matt's first kiss love story, Mind Over Splatter, for just $0.99 today!
