Defeated. If I had to describe the beginning of 2026, that is the word that comes to mind. The word that allows me to take a breath and remove the mask I feel like I’ve been wearing since long before January 1st. The three syllables that completely encompass just how I have been feeling. Defeated. There are several culprits behind my less-than-stellar start to the year: I think thirty is finally hitting me. With the holidays on the heels of my birthday, it seems as if the pas

Creating the playlist for my books is always one of my very favorite parts of the process, a process I thought I had down pat after three books. But, it seems that in all aspects of its life, Reunited wanted to make sure that it was different, unique, and stood out from the crowd. It did this by being one of the most complicated stories I have ever written. Up to this point, that is 😉 I had a much more difficult time nailing down songs that really expressed Ryan and Gracie’s

At the beginning of 2025, I was reflecting on all of the ambitious people I knew who went into a new year with a game plan. Whether it be a list of resolutions, a word to focus the next three hundred and sixty-five days on, or a mapped out schedule for the years events, it seemed like everyone knew what they would be doing in 2025. Except me. Which, does not fit my personality, at all. I am a planner, through and through. I thrive most when I know what’s ahead of me, when I k

Lately, I have been receiving one of my very favorite questions. Ever. Of all time. To infinity and beyond. Do you have any clean romance book recommendations for me? Oh my dear, you have come to the right place. Because, yes, of course I do. I’m single and a book nerd, basically all of my free time is spent reading just these types of books and obsessing over these types of authors. They are my very, very favorite, and I would be more than happy to share them with you. And,

There aren’t words. There truly aren’t. It’s so weird to think that Gracie and Ryan’s story was once just a scene in my brain, a convoluted playlist, and a dream. Even after putting Reframed out into the world, the excitement and disbelief has not worn off this second time around with Reunited . I am living out blessings I often wondered if would ever come to pass. I do not take one second of it for granted, and I cannot thank the people who have supported me through this jo

It’s been a while since we’ve had a Lulu lesson. Have you been missing her? She’s always up for grabs, in case anyone was wondering 😉 Just as a warning for all who think she is adorable and snuggly: Yesterday, while she was taking up a large portion of the space on my bed, I attempted to cuddle with her, and was met with a growl. A GROWL. You have been properly cautioned, and I hope those with this mindset make better judgement calls in the future. This blog is a little all
