Hi ,

While most of the country (except the Southeast) was covered in snow, my author friends and I were tucked away in a mountain cabin, writing all the words, wearing our comfy clothes, with our toes warmed by a fire. We had the best time! We celebrated birthdays, drank lots of coffee, laughed, cried, and brainstormed together.

While there I worked on my next book, One She Never Expected and wrote almost 17,000 words. I'm in the final chapters now and still on track for a springtime release!

I recently finished these two new releases from Mandi Blake & Tara Grace Ericson and I think you will love them both!
