Let's Celebrate Christmas in July!

Merry Christmas in July, friends! As many of you know, Christmas is my favorite holiday. I start shopping for gifts during the summer, decorating my home way too early, and watching X-Mas movies well before Thanksgiving (all year long, actually...). This slight obsession inspired me to write several holiday novels over the years. From sweet to spicy to suspenseful, the subgenres of each book vary. But one thing remains the same--they all celebrate Christmas. Keep reading to find out more about the books along with a few fun facts! 💓

Springtime Updates!

Happy March, and Happy International Women's Day, friends! I cannot believe that we'll already be "springing forward" on Sunday, March 10th, then celebrating the first official day of spring in 12 days. Where has the time gone?! It feels as if we were just celebrating Christmas and New Year's. Here in Chicago, the Lake Michigan boat tours are in full swing, and we'll be dyeing the river green on Saturday the 16th (I'll be sure to share pics)! 

As for me, keep reading for what I've been up to and what I've got planned in the coming weeks...

A Dear Reader Letter From Me to You...

Hey friends! Do you enjoy Dear Reader letters? My author friends and I always grapple with whether or not we should include them in our books. Judging by the feedback I've received from readers, they are much appreciated. Whenever I'm starting or ending a series, I love sharing a few tidbits on what inspired the story, the type of research that went into it, etc. Now that I've stepped into the world of medical romance, I felt compelled to include a Dear Reader in ER DOC'S LAS VEGAS REUNION just to give a little insight into how the book came to fruition. Keep reading to check it out!
