Welcome, Fall!
Despite a heat wave this week, fall is setting in here . . which means my cats love snuggling on my lap with blankets again! They're pretty snuggly all year, but get too hot to be on a blanket in the summer (and I'm cold enough to use one year round). In fall and winter, Graypaw is on my lap like this whenever I'm on the couch! I love my kitty snuggles!
I've been extremely busy lately, working a different full-time job than last year and taking graduate school classes (and playing with my little nephews all the time), so I haven't done a lot of reading and writing--but I'm slowly working on my contemporary romance, and a fun short story featuring everyone's favorite sassy dragon from my fantasy romance: Forrest! More info on that to come (maybe even in this email . . .)!
Indie/Small Press Highlight
I recently read The Heart Shot by Emily Schneider, and it's such an adorable romance! Plus, it's set in the fall, so it's perfect for this time of year! Jameson is a super swoony love interest. Amazing book boyfriend, for sure. Check it out for a sweet and cozy read!

Art Spotlight/Cover Teaser
Here's a tease of the cover for a certain sassy dragon's short story . . . expected to release in November or December of this year, assuming writing goes well this month!
If you haven't met Forrest, he's the best little wingman around in Lady of Dragons--which is available in ebook, paperback, and hardcover, and free on KU!
Book Giveaway!
I'm a bit late in announcing it, but I've decided to do a giveaway exclusively for my newsletter subscribers, every three months: September being the first. I'll use a random number generator with the total number of subscribers I have, and count down my list of subscribers to match the number to an email address. If you live in the United States (I'm sorry, I can't do international shipping), I can send you a copy of one of my books in paperback form. The options are Stars Begin to Burn [YA fantasy], Don't Hate the Player [m/m contemporary romance with no spice], and Lady of Dragons (Part One) [YA fantasy romance, fade to black]. Winners will have one week to respond to me with their book choice and address, or I'll choose another winner. Our first winner will be emailed today!
