Hey friends! Thanks for signing up my newsletter. I'm so happy to have you here with me!

This is the time of year where we look back and maybe reflect on things we are grateful for, what we have accomplished, or what we dream of doing. That's what I've been doing.

I have so much to be thankful for - a loving, supportive family, wonderful friends, a comfortable recliner, and the opportunity to achieve a dream I was too afraid to admit to having.

My debut novel, Sexy Pucking Polar Bear, releases in ebook and paperback on all major platforms on December 8, 2023. In case the title didn’t give it away, it’s a shifter hockey romantic comedy. Yep, the hero, Burke Bedard, is a professional ice hockey star who can shift into a polar bear.

Here’s the blurb, click on this gorgeous cover to be taken to the links to preorder.

What do you get when a hot-as-puck hockey-playing polar bear shifter and a sexy cougar shifter elementary school teacher with a frozen heart decide to fake date? A mess.

Burke

As the first captain of the Atlantic City Devil Birds in the newly formed Paranormal Hockey League, my goal is simple: don’t screw up. Oh, play my best and save up money for the future, too. When my career is over, I plan to take my polar bear shifter self back to Canada, resume my teaching career, find a wife, and have some kids. Not on my to-do list—fall for a sexy cougar shifter who just happens to be my coach’s little sister.

Kendall

I’m fine being single and living my best life here in New Jersey. I have my family and my students. What else do I need? My very brief and disastrous marriage to my sociopathic squirrel shifter college sweetheart is all the proof I need that I am better off unattached. My family and friends keep trying to fix me up with any guy they find and lately their focus is on the handsome new captain of my brother’s hockey team.

We decide to play along and fake a relationship to stop the matchmaking. But fake dating soon turns into fake dating with benefits and genuine feelings. Our dreams and goals are taking us in different directions. Can we compromise to make what is supposed to be fake blossom into something real?

Sexy Pucking Polar Bear is a shifter hockey romcom full of humor, heart, and heat. If you want to laugh, sigh, and swoon, not necessarily in that order, with funny, sexy shifters, this is the book for you!

That's all from me for today. This is my first newsletter and I'm hoping I didn't screw anything up too badly. Who would have thought writing the stories was the easy part, it's all the other author stuff that is scary! LOLOL. I'll be in touch next week to celebrate my release but in general I'll only be popping up in your mail box about once a month unless there's something extraordinary going on.

Catch you on the flip side,
