As always, I want to thank all of my existing and new subscribers for being a part of my writing journey. I’m truly happy to have you here!

This year is off to a great start! Lover of All, Book 5 of my series, is out in the world, and Werewolf, Book 6, will join it on April 30th. I’ve drafted Nephilim, a piece from the world of the Custodes Pacis, to be published in a charity anthology, and I’ve started two novellas in completely new sub-genres. But I can’t forget the ending of Team Alpha’s journey, Demon, Book 7 (and final), which is scheduled for publication on July 31st.

I’m so excited to be a part of Booked in Chaos event in November, and just inquired about another great local author fair with Copperfield’s Books in Spring to celebrate their 10-year anniversary. I have also submitted my name for two more events, Multiverse and Frolicon. It will be great to get out and meet readers and fellow authors in romance.

My goal for next year is to participate in more events, since my son will be in college and no longer needs me around (as much).

Check out the rest of my newsletter for a giveaway opportunities, upcoming deals, and book reviews. I’m finally getting through some of my TBR. Though, there are many more to go…lucky me!

Whatever May Come by Tracee Garner

Whatever May Come (The Jameson Family Series Book 1) was hard for me to read, but in the best way. It challenged me to consider the viewpoint of someone from a completely different background, which at times can be uncomfortable when it forces us to face the harshness that can be someone else’s reality. Tracee offers us the perspective of Tisha, a Black female professional with aesthetic considerations from an old injury. But for everything that may have been a notable aspect of a life-journey completely different from mine, she gives us moments and situations that any person can connect with. The importance of family, forgiveness, patience, acceptance, success, kindness, and, of course, love...the cornerstone of any romance. It is in these moments that people can acknowledge our differences and embrace those things we have in common. If you like a story that highlights a perspective which may be different from yours and explores love in a sweet, faith-grounded delivery, you’ll enjoy Whatever May Come as much as I did.

“Schoolteacher Tisha Jameson flees her Virginia hometown to start afresh in Macon, Georgia. Although she hadn’t planned on falling in love with former pro football player Chase Alton, Chase's son Thomas is determined to get them together somehow. Before long, the pair come to realize that they are unable to resist one another and Chase will discover what a caring mother figure Tish can be for his son. But when Tish finds out that the danger she thought she’d outrun for good has followed her across state lines, Chase and Tish find out what love really means.”

Somewhere Warm by G. G. Andrew

Somewhere Warm is a cute, quick read with spice that makes you want to curl up with your favorite blanket and a cup of your favorite hot beverage. I enjoyed Evan’s rugged-academic appeal quite a bit, and thought Zoe found herself in the right house at the right time. If you like your novellas with a little tension, spice, and humor, give Somewhere Warm a chance today!

“What if you fell for your best friend’s ex—the one that had made her life a living hell?

All Zoe had to do was pick up a box of her best friend Haley's things from Haley's brooding ex-husband, Evan. She didn't expect her car to get hit by a snowplow. She didn't expect for the icy Maine blizzard to start early. She didn't expect to be stuck inside Evan's warm cabin—alone with him—on New Year's Eve. And, most of all, she didn't expect to come undone by the heat in Evan's eyes.

SOMEWHERE WARM is a short forbidden romance to ring in the New Year — or any other time of year. Although this story is a standalone, Zoe and Evan's story continues in SOMEPLACE SECRET.”

GRATITUDE:

I’ve been so lucky to meet fantastic folks throughout my writing journey, but there are a few who have helped support me through the most challenging moments and I’d like to acknowledge each one in my newsletters this year.

For this installment, I’d like to give a special shout-out to my author friend, Katherine Eddinger Smit. We met through our mutual love of writing and volunteering, and I couldn’t be luckier to have her in my life. It’s an awesome thing to have a resource who knows exactly what you’re going through in your writing journey. If you have haven’t checked out her work yet, add it to that TBR! https://katherineeddingersmits.weebly.com/
