Hey friends! I don't know how July passed without me getting in touch, let's blame the heat and a change of scenery. My old thrift store recliner where I've written all of my stories broke (it was manufactured in 1996, what a shame things don't last like they used to - lol) so I've been working from a very comfy armchair in my bedroom and it's just not the same! Let's ignore the fact I have a very nice office I could work in... my new recliner will be delivered next week.

I was going to say this in my closing paragraph but it really should be up here. Thank you. Thank you for opening this email and spending your time with me. Thank you for reading my stories. Thank you for writing reviews and telling your friends. Thank you for helping me live a dream I've always been too afraid to admit I had.

I hope you're enjoying your summer (or winter for my friends in the southern hemisphere) and reading and doing things you enjoy. I've been spending my time working, watching tons of YouTube podcasts, and writing. I have a book releasing this month and I can't wait to share it with you!

Book 2 in the Shifting Pines series, Claiming Her Cougar is up for preorder and releasing August 29. It's another blast from the past featuring Liam Morgan and Mallory Carter - yes, you know them from the hockey books but this is their story from around two years before Sexy Pucking Polar Bear. Theirs is a one night stand that accidentally becomes a co-worker secret no strings romance. Part of the story is based on a real life personal experience. Wait until you hear what that is! LOLOL. Here's their cover and preorder link -

Here's their blurb:

When fate (and a mouse) reunite a charming cougar shifter with his sexy Las Vegas hook up can they make what was a one time thing into something much more permanent?

Mallory:

No names, no details, no future. It was just a hook up one night in a Vegas nightclub. Who could blame me? The guy at the bar was just what I needed to scratch the itch a long romantic dry spell left me with. It did the trick and what happened in Vegas stayed in Vegas…

Until a mouse went nowhere a rodent should go and reunited us six months later. Any thoughts of picking up where we left off vanished when I discover he’s a VP in the company I work for. I’ve worked too hard on my career to tarnish my reputation and risk my family’s respect with a fling that will have people thinking I’m sleeping my way through the executive team. The past is going to have to remain just that because there can be no future.

Liam:

Once I felt the curvy auburn-haired beauty against me and knew how sweet her kisses were I knew I wanted more. But she rushed away like a sexy Cinderella leaving me alone in the dark corner of a noisy nightclub with only her blue lace panties to remember her by.

I couldn’t believe my luck to have finally found her here in my hometown. However, my luck runs out when she refuses to date me because of my position in our company. Little does she know I have plans that will remove that barrier and change both of our futures.

Can I convince her to trust fate—and me—and give us a chance?

Claiming Her Cougar is a sexy, open-door, workplace romcom with a charming cougar shifter and the determined woman with mama drama trying not to love him.

Do you love small town shifter romance? The first Shifting Pines book, Landing Her Eagle released earlier this summer. Here's the cover and purchase link. This story features Daphne and Logan who you may recognize from the hockey stories. Their best friends to lovers romance takes place two years before Sexy Pucking Polar Bear so it's a blast from the past. Even though it's the most recent release it's actually the first book I wrote and it holds such a special place in my heart. Daphne is the character that surprises me the most as I write my books. She keeps popping up and she cracks me up. I think she's the unofficial cruise director of the Shifting Pines Universe. LOL.

Book 4 in the Paranormal Hockey League series, Bashful Pucking Bigfoot, is moving through the editing process to get ready for its release on December 12, 2025. Sigh. Ollie is just an ooey gooey cinnamon roll. It's a best friends/mutual pining story with a fake engagement and virgin hero thrown in. If that sounds like your sort of thing then you're going to love Ollie and Phoebe! Click the link or the cover to check it out! https://books2read.com/BashfulPuckingBigfoot

The unofficial first book in the Shifting Pines series is Bigfoot Finds A Bride, part of the Monster Brides series and an Amazon exclusive for now. It's also connects with my Paranormal Hockey League series through Bashful Pucking Bigfoot. While you're waiting for Ollie and Phoebe, check out the story of their older siblings falling in love! Bigfoot Finds A Bride is a second chance romance with sexy Bigfoot shifter cat dad Finn and runaway bride Shelby looking for a place to be herself.

What I'm writing now

Right now I'm writing the story of Ollie and Finn's younger sister, Violet. She's a talented lighthouse loving artist healing from heartbreak and dealing with a grumpy, reclusive historian who just so happens to live in a lighthouse she's been commissioned to do a painting of. They haven't told me their whole story so I'll share more details later (along with their title!) Their story will be part of the Monster Brides series alongside Bigfoot Finds A Bride and will release in early 2026. I'll share more details in future newsletters.

If you haven't started my Paranormal Hockey Series yet and want to meet my sexy, funny shifter hockey players here's where to start!
