Why hello mes amis! Here we are again. I have no idea how 2024 got here so fast. The time to start grinding out new stories is fast approaching. And welcome to all my new followers! As a reminder, I send out a monthly newsletter because I don’t like to bog down everyone’s emails. Sometimes I will send out an important blast for new releases or important events like Stuff Your Kindle, but that’s about the only time, or in case an emergency cancellation of an event occurs.
Most of the time though I update more on my social media. So be sure to follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok! I no longer use my Twitter (X) account. There is a LOT happening, so hopefully I remember it all! We have book signings, Bookfunnel promos, author swaps, and so much more!
Surprise!
What Once Was is officially being released February 6th, just in time for Valentine’s Day. But for all of my lucky readers who sign up for my newsletter and become part of the crew, you’ll be getting it for free! In February’s newsletter I’ll be sending it out with a special download link so be sure to look for it. It is currently out with Beta/ARC readers and part of a Bookfunnel promo as a soft launch, but before it’s hard official launch (haha…hard…c’mon guys you know I’m a romance author) I may possibly add a few more scenes I’ve been toying with and send it off to my editor to re-edit. It will be going out to my editor anyway to fix a couple oopsies with new content.
Social Media Updates
I quite often get burnt out working 2 jobs, plus being an indie author who does 98.8% of everything themselves, and my normal social life. I am going to try and bring you much more content than before on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram. My goal is to hopefully get a lot of things paid off so I can focus those funds on hiring a PA to help me. As an indie author, the money I make from selling my books and swag do not go in my pocket. It goes back to you, my readers, to create better swag, book my space at book signings, pay for newsletter swaps with bigger companies, gas to get to these in-person events, hotels, so on and so forth. I don’t make anything on my books which is why I do work 2 jobs, a full-time and part-time.

Author Swaps
Beyond the Wall: Enduring Love Across Distant Borders
The year is 120 AD, in the lowlands of Scotland. The Roman empire is at its height, with the whole of Britannia all but conquered - only the wild Celtic barbarians north of the Roman frontier are yet to be crushed.
But the Celts, led by their war chief, Cefin of Mirchar, have other ideas.
Safely back in her settlement’s roundhouse, Mairenn harbours her dangerous secret, but as the weeks pass, her longing to see the Roman from the moor intensifies, until the risk of what she decides to do outweighs the terrible consequences if her action is discovered by her people.

A Snowflake Christmas
It’s supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, but … Dr. Alan Garcia uproots his practice in Miami to Snowflake, Montana, hoping to escape career-ending false-accusations and find a fresh start in the small mountain town. Alan isn’t looking for love, but when Rachel Welch brings her nephew in for an office visit, her neighborly generosity and family-first philosophy moves his heart like no woman he’s previously known.
Rachel Welch, a native of Snowflake, has suffered from PTSD ever since the car accident that seriously injured her parents. Dr. Garcia is her best hope to find relief from panic attacks, but one look into his dark eyes and Rachel knows that a doctor-patient dynamic is far from the relationship she wants.
With Christmas right around the corner, maybe Rachel and Alan’s snowballing romance will survive Alan’s pride, Rachel’s fears, and Snowflake’s rumors. That is – if spending time together outside of the office doesn’t get them both fired first.
