Ever been curious about how romance authors build the heat in intimate scenes? WHAT WOULD YOU MOST WANT TO KNOW ABOUT OUR PROCESS? If you're in the Greater Kansas City or Topeka Areas, you can find out first hand. Come hear me and my friends Julie Murphy, Sierra Simone, and Adib Khorram drop all the tea at the Kansas Book Festival in Topeka, Kansas, this Saturday (September 26th) at 11:00 AM! The festival goes from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM, and there’ll be other great panels for fiction lovers of all genres. From romance and dark thriller to historical drama and epic fantasy, truly something for every reader. Plus book signings! Hope to see some of you there. But even if you can't make it, I'm very curious what you'd most want to know. So drop your thoughts/questions below. 👇🏽

I've been keeping a secret, and now I can share! I know it's been quiet in here for a while. Honestly, the author gig has had some blips and bumps over the last year. I'm working hard to get you new books, and one of those is part of a new historical romance project coming spring 2027. So here's the news... I'm part of a multi-author collab that will be bringing you 14 great stories, one per week starting March 18th. My story will drop on May 13th. More info and pre-order links are yet to come, but in the meantime, note the entire cast of fabulous authors involved: Addy Du Lac Alice Coldbreath Caroline Lee Charlie Lane Elizabeth Everett Emily Windsor Felicity Niven Harper St. George Jane Maguire Joanna Lowell Kat Sterling Liana De la Rosa Lisa Rayne Mia Vincy.

Wondering what my sports romances are like? Now’s your chance to check out one of my steamy athlete stories before ICE MATCHED drops on September 8th. 🏃🏽‍♀️ 📣 Your gratis copy of RUNAWAY HEART, a tracklete + swimmer (BWWM) Summer Olympics novella, is now available.

Y'all, I'm on deadline. I've got a collab contemporary rom-com due to a publisher tomorrow (more on that later). And an editor deadline for ICE MATCHED a few weeks after that. So I've been a little absent here lately. That's about to change. Once I hit tomorrow's deadline, Imma be so happy I'm gonna wanna chat about. So be prepared. ❓❓ >> In the meantime, WHAT'S EVERYBODY READING? And WHY DID YOU PICK UP THAT BOOK? 👇🏽 ⚠️ NOTE the two-part question here! Those habits I picked up during my brief stint as a high school English teacher die hard. Ha!) Also, note that your book selection does NOT have to be one of mine. But brownie points if it has diverse characters written by a marginalized author. 📚 I'll start. I'm currently listening to an ALC (advance listener copy) of the audiobook for BIG GIRL BLITZ by Danielle Allen (Pub Date: April 14, 2026). Oh yeah... If you haven't preordered this book, go do so now! This is Book 3 in Danielle's "Curve" series. I've read the other two books. Book 1 (CURVY GIRL SUMMER) got me out of a deep malaise regarding contemporary romance. So if you like 'em sexy + funny and with deep emotions + hot hero + a curvy heroines who bring it like Lizzo, go check out this series.

With all the cover reveal activities for ICE MATCHED, I completely forgot to promo the author chat tonight. It's still on, however. Hopefully, some of you can make it, and I won't be talking to myself. Come get some advance tea on my upcoming ice skater romance and a few more surprises I have coming this year. Zoom details are now on the group calendar. Talk soon.
