This month was supposed to start with a bang, and boy, did it ever. I was all set up at RomantiConn on July 8th and my table looked amazing! All my books beautifully displayed, tons of great swag to give away, and I was ready to rock. Five minutes from start, I did a spectacular faceplant walking through the hotel foyer to my table. My head hit first and instantly swelled to epic proportions. I ended up with an ambulance ride, a CAT scan, and a week off of work. I still look like I got dragged behind a truck, but the pain is more manageable. Of course, there was no RomantiConn for me that day, so my apologies if you attended and I missed you.

On the bright side, my newest release (and steamy beach read), SHORE THING released yesterday and I can’t wait for you to meet Roni and Dominic, plus a great supporting cast. This book was loads of fun to write. You can find buy links on my Contemporary Romance page.

If you’re in the Norfolk, Virginia area, you don’t want to miss the Sexy and Sassy Signing (SaSS) on July 28th and 29th. You’ll find tons of great romance authors (and their books!), terrific panels and parties, and a great time all around. I’ll be at table 70.

In the fall, you’ll find me at Fall In Love New England in Marlborough, Massachusetts on October 20th and 21st, and I’ll have more on that closer to the date. In the meantime, I’ll be wrapping myself in bubble wrap until SaSS and hoping for a better outcome!

At last the day is here – COTILLION is out and I just know you’re going to love Auralette, Jasien, and the collection of magical folk that make up their world.

If you like clever, fierce women, strong, determined men and snarky best friends, plus page after page of heart-fluttering romance, serious steam, and occasional punches in the gut, then COTILLION is the book for you!

BUY IT NOW

We’re one month out from RomantiConn in Trumbull, CT and yours truly will be there, along with over 100 terrific Romance authors and specialty vendors. Last year’s event was a huge success and I had as much of a blast shopping my fellow authors as I did meeting my readers. If you’re in the CT/NY/NJ area, you don’t want to miss this! Check out this lineup:

Along with your books, you can pick up some great Romance and Bookish-themed merchandise, like the awesome tumbler I bought last year.

And don’t forget the raffle drawings and swag – SO much swag. I hope to see you there!

RomantiConn 2022 is through and I just have to say – WOW! What a great day!

I met a lot of fantastic authors, even more terrific readers, and sold a whole bunch of books. I do a lot of book events between my romance novels and my YA novels, and this was one of the better organized book events I’ve attended. I’ve already booked my spot for next year!

If you were among the many fun and engaging readers who stopped by my table – thank you! I hope you enjoyed my gift in the swag bag (don’t forget to use your QR code to download your FREE novella!), and it was a real pleasure to share my first RomantiConn with you.

See you next year!

I’m packing my car with books, displays, and swag and this time next week I’ll be on the road to RomantiConn! For those of you in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, a short road trip will put you in an air conditioned room with EIGHTY FIVE amazing romance authors!

The first 200 attendees will receive a loaded (I’m not kidding!) swag bag, and there will be door prizes and some gorgeous cover models to add to the enjoyment.

Get your tickets here if you don’t already have one.

I’ll be there, along with copies of my new release, DREAM CROSSED! If you’d like a signed copy of that book (or any of my books), please use my pre-order form to guarantee your copy.

Can’t wait to see you there!

I can’t believe it’s already a new year! I’ve spent most of this holiday break getting myself organized and setting up my writing and publishing calendar. Here’s what 2022 looks like for me:

• Draft and publish two full-length romance novels – one contemporary (Coming in Feb!) and one fantasy
• Publish two novellas – one previously only available in an anthology (I get the rights back this year) and the other a new work.
• Draft and publish two new short stories for my Free Reads collection
• Query one project (Dream Crossed) for traditional publication
• Attend book festivals in PA and NJ (COVID restriction dependent)

Those are just the goals in Romance. I also write Young Adult novels under another pen name, and the plan there is to publish one novel in the fall, draft and query a brand new project, then overhaul, revise and query two other full manuscripts.

Along with that, I plan to survive on two hours of sleep a night and a helluva lot of caffeine. And of course, I’m a writer, so there are sure to be plot twists that shoot those plans straight to hell. We’ll have to see how it goes.

Happy New Year and wish me luck!
