Dear Readers,

Man, I completely forgot I wrote this novelette!

Two years ago, I uploaded Where the Sidewalk Ends to Readers’ Favorite and then… apparently forgot all about it! This morning, I received an email letting me know that the review was finally in.

I opened it and—WOW!

A 5-star review!

I honestly wasn’t expecting it. After two years, I had almost forgotten this little story was still out there waiting to be discovered.

So, I thought, Why not finally release it?

Today, Where the Sidewalk...

Dear Readers,

I am excited to share that my very first Meet the Author interview will soon be available on YouTube!

It was a wonderful experience talking about my journey as a writer, what inspired me to write romance, and the stories behind my books. During the interview, we discussed my range of novels, my passion for creating heartfelt characters, and what readers can expect from my future projects.

I hope you'll enjoy watching the interview and learning a little more about me and my work....

Dear Readers,

It’s a true joy to introduce you to my upcoming novella, Coming Back to You—a tender, emotional second-chance romance set in the quiet beauty of Yellow Creek, Colorado.

This story is for anyone who’s ever wondered what if… What if the person you once loved—the one you never stopped thinking about—walked back into your life?

Cortney Harrison never thought she’d return to Yellow Creek, especially with her wedding fast approaching. But fate has a way of leading us back to where it all...

Dear Readers,

If you grew up in the 80s, as I did, you probably remember the movie The ‘Burbs. I absolutely loved it as a kid — that strange mix of comedy, mystery, and just plain weird suburban chaos. Seeing Tom Hanks running around suspicious of his neighbors made it unforgettable for me, and it’s one of those films that stuck in my memory for years.

The original movie came out in 1989 and starred Tom Hanks...

Dear Readers,

Today I want to share something incredibly personal with you — my upcoming novella, Locking Down Love.

I actually wrote this story a few years ago during one of the hardest moments of my life. I was really sick with COVID, stuck at home trying to get better. Most days, I barely had the energy to do anything, but I found myself sitting on my sofa with a notebook in my lap, a warm bowl of chicken soup beside me, slowly bringing this story to life. Writing became my comfort during a...

Dear Readers,

Big news hitting the holiday pipeline—my first LGBTQ Christmas novella, A Christmas Wish, is coming soon.

This story follows Glen Branson, a lawyer running on empty, who heads back to his mountain hometown expecting a quiet seasonal reset. Instead, he gets swept right back into the town’s cozy rhythms—fresh pastries at Julie’s bakery, the buzz of Christmas prep, and snowy streets that reboot memories he didn’t realize he missed.

Then there’s Derek Winslow. Steady. Warm. Quietly...

Dear Readers,

I just experienced something incredible — the new Frankenstein (2025), and I have to say, it completely reignited my love for one of literature’s greatest classics. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein has been close to my heart since middle school. I remember being fascinated by the themes of creation, ambition, and loneliness — and even now, I find myself rereading it every few years. But this new adaptation? It’s something else entirely.

Guillermo del Toro brought Shelley’s gothic world...

Dear Readers,

There’s something about Christmas in a small town that hits you right in the feels — the snowflakes that fall like confetti, the smell of cinnamon rolls fresh out of the oven, and the buzz of a community coming together for one magical event. In Winterberry Peak, Colorado, that event is the Christmas Dance Contest — and this year, it’s about to change two lives forever.

Dear Readers,

Some stories start as a spark — a single what if that refuses to fade. For me, If You Say I Do wasn’t just an idea. It was a story that insisted on being told.

From the first page, I knew this book would be something special — not just a love story, but a journey about timing, courage, and finding home in unexpected places. If You Say I Do is set in Maple Springs, Vermont — a small, picture-perfect town where everyone knows your name and the rumor mill runs faster than the morning...

Snow had been falling since dawn in South Bend, Indiana — the kind of snow that hushes everything. Streets gleamed white under the soft gold of holiday lights. Inside St. Augustine’s Chapel, warmth bloomed from the radiators, and candles scented the air with pine and cinnamon.

Renee Miller stood before the mirror in the small bridal room, her lace gown...

Dear Readers,

Some stories don’t begin with a plan.

They begin with a feeling.

That’s how Something Borrowed found me—not through plotting or planning, but with a quiet image I couldn’t shake: a woman unlocking the door to an old bridal boutique on a breezy Florida morning. I didn’t know her name yet. I didn’t know why she’d returned. But I knew she was holding on to something—memories, longing, maybe even regret. And I knew I needed to follow her.

Her name became Becky Navarro. And the boutique...

Dear Readers,

Okay—I just saw the trailer for the new version of The Running Man and I am so excited! As someone who’s been a longtime fan of Stephen King (or in this case, Richard Bachman), this was one of those “finally!” moments.

Let’s be clear: I really enjoyed the original 1987 movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was bold, wild, and packed with that over-the-top '80s action flair. But from the looks of this new version? We're getting something that still feels fun and entertaining—but...

Dear Readers,

I have something thrilling—and a little chilling—to share with you. After years out of print, my supernatural novella once known as The Ripper is finally back in the world… but with a new face, a new title, and a dark new energy.

Introducing Descendant — a supernatural suspense thriller that digs deep into the shadows of history and unearths the terrifying question: What if evil is passed down through blood?

This story means a great deal to me. It was one of the earliest works I...

Dear Readers,

I just finished Verity by Colleen Hoover—and I had to jump on here immediately to tell you about it.

This book completely consumed me. From the very first page, I was hooked. Hoover’s writing is sharp, unsettling, and addictive in the best way. Verity is a psychological thriller that takes you down dark corridors you didn’t see coming, and I honestly could not put it down. Every chapter left me wanting more, and every twist pulled me deeper into the story.

Without spoiling too...

Dear Readers,

Some stories never let go—and I Know What You Did Last Summer is one of them for me.

I was just eight years old when my mom gave me the novel by Lois Duncan as a birthday gift. It was my first real taste of mystery and suspense, and I devoured it. That book opened a whole new world to me. I still have my original copy—its pages a little worn, the cover soft with age—but it remains one of my most treasured possessions.

Years later, in 1997, I was...
