Happy Holidays, Friends!

Happy December, everyone! I cannot believe that we are already at the end of 2024. It's been a great year, filled with a fair share of ups and downs, but wonderful, nevertheless. I published new books, made several in-person appearances, won an award, and much more. I ended the year with a fun holiday drop-in with Jane Porter's Friends & Fans Group that I'm sharing with you here. Keep reading for all the deets on the Christmas cheer!

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! 💓

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!
