Ginger peach tea and romance novels are my chief coping mechanisms. What are yours? #Romancelandia

A big reason I made it through March is my Harlequin TBR. They deliver all the hope and feels I need. #Romancelandia

Homeschool mom PSA: I survived another week of middle school math. Please clap.

We made it to Friday! Here's another sneak peek inside Crossing Deadly Tides to celebrate...

When I open my book, Tank automatically sits in my lap. *notice his sister Abby laying at my feet as well*

Thank you, Tesh, for the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review!

Flu recovery update: we're all still battling a nasty cough but the fatigue seems to finally be taking a backseat. Mini me is feeling well enough to return to softball while jedi boy and I are easing back into our exercise routines more slowly.

The book I just finished is part of the Coltons of Dark Canyon series which will be published next spring. This morning, I learned that it will be titled Colton Storm Watch!

March reading wrap-up...

Proud member of book sniffers anonymous. #Booksky

Flu recovery has consisted mainly of chicken noodle soup, gallons of hot ginger tea, and rereading Sense and Sensibility. #BookSky

The bulk of my strength is gained from romance novels and puppy cuddles. #Romancelandia

My social media presence has been down. I apologize. My family is recovering from flu. In the meantime, here's a first look at Sam and Pia from April's romantic suspense, Crossing Deadly Tides...

“Legal action is already underway against Meta, OpenAI, Microsoft, Anthropic, and other AI companies for using pirated books. If your book was used by Meta, you’re automatically included in the Kadrey v. Meta class action in Northern California without needing to take any immediate action…”

They used 16 of my books, several box sets and some no longer in print. This is piracy and everything I've stood against since I started publishing 18 years ago 😡

Finished one day late and 300 words shy of my desired word count! #amwriting

Update on cross-country road trip: we're home. The dogs are home from boarding. The whole family caravan made it back safely, despite some crazy winter weather. I'm 4,000 words short of my vacation writing goal but I'm determined to wrap that up before tonight. #amwriting

Hear me out...another Home Alone, but they leave Kevin at a Buccee's.

I went on vacation to mind my own business but my business wasn't minded.

Harry wouldn't have survived book one without Hermione. On that note, Happy International Women's Day! #InternationalWomensDay

I'm a Taurus. I just want to stay well read, well fed, and medicated under a pile of warm blankies.

I wrote 2500 words toward my vacation writing goal last night. Today is the last day on the mountain.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but go read your book. #BookSky

I wrote 2500 words yesterday. Only another 7000 to go before the end of the week!

Vacation writing took a break yesterday because although the drive was only 2 hours, we were driving into the Rocky Mountains. The pics on my phone do not do it justice. It's so stunningly beautiful up here, I only got a few hundred words in before bedtime. The bighorn sheep sighting was a 1st (1/9)

If anyone's keeping score, my road trip word count yesterday totaled 3600 words. Our family caravan grew to 8 cars. We are currently at 6,000 ft in elevation. And that's all the mathing I care to do today.

2300 words written so far today between Wichita Falls and the Texas-New Mexico border. #amwriting

Gets mad at the price of eggs. Buys another book.

I declare there is no enjoyment like reading to avoid my problems. #SkyBooks

I'm only demure when I'm sleeping.

Banned Book of the Week Reason: sexual content, racism, abuse, and profanity #readbannedbooks

Somehow managed to complete 1200 words on my WIP while traveling with 12yo, 9yo and chatty husband 💪 #anwriting
