Welcome back to the wild and wacky world where I try my best not to bore you or overwhelm you.

Ready to jump in? I feel like this entire year has flown by. I keep adding things to my calendar, then realizing there isn't enough time left this year to get it all done, and despite that I'm spending the weekend at a nearby Comic Con! It's our first time attending and we're all so excited but unsure what we're heading into. I'll keep you updated! It's one of those things where I feel like I should stay home and work, but we all really need some time together.

On the bookish front, I have quite a bit of news.

I joined up with several other authors to bring you a Beauty and the Beast anthology, and it's now available for purchase.

Terror in Wonderland releases on Oct 3rd, and I'm pretty sure I completely forgot to ask if anyone wanted to join the launch team to get an early copy. If you would like to do that, send me a reply and let me know. And if you were interested in the Kickstarter editions, I should have them in hand by the end of October. I've seen a few videos, and they look incredible.

Many of you follow this account for the fantasy books, and you may not know that I write contemporary cowboy romances for Love Inspired. Maybe I should keep the lines drawn between my two genres, but I can't help celebrating.

My most recent release with Love Inspired, Forgiving the Cowboy, is a finalist in the Christy Awards! It's one of those books that I didn't think I'd ever get published, and it's ended up being my most popular by far.

I'll be honest, it feels weird to admit to being a finalist. I'm the kind of person who tends to avoid receiving compliments or praise, so it feels like I'm flaunting.

That's not my intention. I'm excited and awed and it's really a great big reminder that when things feel like they're impossible, you're usually right at the point when a great big blessing is about to come your way.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

And here's your warning that I'm about to show you a whole bunch of other books for you to browse. If that's not your jam, you can skip out now. I'll be back next month with another monumental giveaway.

If you like my books, you might also enjoy Sarah's stories. Feel free to check out her website and give her newsletter a follow.

And if you're interested in some other books along the fairytale line, I have quite the list for you. Here's where I try not to overwhelm you. It's not that I want to send you away from my books or scream "Go buy all these books!". It's just that I know how much I love books, and I can't help sharing when I find something I think you might enjoy. The good news is that all of the books I've shared with you (except Evermore) are also in Kindle Unlimited, so if you're subscribed to KU, you can read all of these.
