  • Readalong 2 – Chapters 3-5

    We are starting to get some more backstory and the basis for Cara and Javi’s uneasy friendship. And there’s a lot of music in this section! See below for some of the inspiration. For one song, you have to love me. She wanted to dismiss him as a fun-loving dilettante, but his hands brought the…

  • MCN1 Readalong – Chapters 1-2

    I was curious about how much I would remember, rereading My Christmas Number One, because I read over this book many, many times in the querying and publication process. I’ve read it more times than any of my other books. But it has now been a full two years since I last read it, so…

  • Readalong!

    I still have the most fond feelings for my debut romance, My Christmas Number One, the book I wrote before I thought about reader hooks and marketing and sales. I tapped into so many of my passions when I wrote this book, and Javi will always have a special place as my first published love…

  • Race and the Real Paris

    I try not to look at reviews of my books too often. They’re not written for me. But it’s difficult around the release of a new book, because I’m excited and I want to share in the joy of the readers who like the book. I have got better at avoiding the negative reviews (which…

  • Book Trailer for Twenty-One Nights in Paris

    I’ve been saving the trailer for publication day, so here it is:

  • Twenty-One Nights in Paris is HERE

    It’s release day for a very special book of my heart, that has been a different experience right from the beginning. It started with Paris, a city with many faces and a whole world of its own stories. The character of Sacha is a kind of allegory for my Paris – a little grumpy and…

  • Pre-Publication Market Musings

    I am hyped for tomorrow, when Twenty-One Nights in Paris hits the ereaders (shelves are another story…), but publication day is always a mixed experience, full of adrenaline and highs and lows. I am incredibly grateful to be here doing this, plugging away at my writing career and spending time with my characters. The writing…

  • The Music Behind Twenty-One Nights in Paris

    To get in the mood for publication day NEXT WEEK, here is the official playlist for Twenty-One Nights in Paris! This is the music behind the book, the stuff that inspired Ren and Sacha’s adventures in Paris, discovering the stories and the people of that amazing city. Amusez-vous!

  • Get ready for some songs…

    I know I go on about music a lot, but it’s a big part of my drafting process. So, if you were wondering what songs are behind Twenty-One Nights in Paris, I’ll post a few in the lead-up to publication day (and probably afterwards when I get a minute). I’ve done a TikTok video of…

  • Aladdin and Paris

    Publication day for Twenty-One Nights in Paris is approaching more quickly than I can prepare for, since I’m busy whipping the ‘P’ book (spring 2023) into shape. But I’ve just taken the time to write the publication day blog post for my publisher and you guys can have a sneak peek on here! Here’s a…
