A Series of a Season I'm Sick of

  I’m sure I’ve mentioned on here before my desire to write a series. My first two stories were part of a series, but I didn’t get past two books in The Office After Hours . I suppose I could write another story in that series. That thought occurred to me recently. My next series, Holiday Wishes , only had two stories in it until this past December when I finally wrote the third story for that series. I came up with the brilliant idea to write a winter themed series. Because, you know, it’s winter. I’m a seasonal person. I don’t know why this is, or how I became this way, or if I was just born for the seasons. When it is winter, I want to read things set in winter. I’ve read plenty of romances with winter themes during the winter months. When it’s summer, I want to read something with more of a summer theme. I’ve read Treasure Island in the summer more than once. While I was writing Faking it at Christmas , I decided I would do a series of winter stories next. I wanted to keep the ...

New Release - Second Chance in Winter

Another new release! I'm so happy to finally get this story out. I would have had it out sooner, but being down over a week with the flu really put me behind on it. When I felt better, I was really happy to get back to it. Here it is - Second Chance in Winter. How did the man who did me wrong all those years ago end up looking hotter than sin? Even worse is my attraction to him is stronger now than ever. Claire After a humiliating experience in high school, I left the small town I grew up in behind for good. That is until I’m offered a job nearby and my dad would be disappointed if I didn’t stay with him. Everything is going great until I run into the man who helped humiliate me all those years ago. Logan is the last person I want to see. Ever. Except, he is even hotter now than he was in school. In fact, he is everything I could want in a man. I don’t want to be this attracted to him, but I am. Only I don’t think I could survive him breaking my heart again. Logan I didn...

Recovering From the Flu

  If you read my last post, then you know I was getting all productive with things at long last. I’d even committed to doing a weekly blog post. Everything was great. I was excited. I was making progress daily. I . . . I came down with the flu. Yeah, so obviously no big blog post last week as I was on the couch too tired to do anything except sleep. I was also on target to get a new story out last week. None of that happened. The flu bug totally took me down. I am finally feeling better and trying to get back into things. In my part of the world, we went through extreme cold temperatures the last several days, which did nothing to help with my sudden stop in productivity. Right now I need to re-orient myself with where I was at on my up coming story and remind myself of what needs done yet. It’s just often a struggle to get back to work after being knocked down like I was. It has been some time since I contracted the flu this bad. I should have this story out before the end of this...

Blogging Weekly to Stay Productive

  What to talk about today? Honestly, I have nothing. So why am I here with a blog post if I have nothing? In trying to make goals for the year, I decided to be more active on here. I want to write and post more. Why? Because I enjoy doing this. Sometime ago, I began a blog under a different name with a different focus. My goal was to post weekly. I’d read somewhere that when doing an author blog, that was a good pace to go at. When I started that now neglected blog, that’s what I did. I sat down and wrote something, anything, once a week and posted it. To my surprise, I lasted longer at it than I thought I would. I think I had even picked a day to post. Maybe it was Monday or Wednesday? I don’t remember. I could check, but I can’t be bothered right now. It’s not really important. What is important is I’d stuck to the weekly blogging for some time and I enjoyed the heck out of it. In fact, if I’d became busy during the week and it came time to post something, I’d drop everything an...

New Year, New Goals, What’s Coming Next

I hope everyone had a happy and healthy holiday season. Can’t believe it’s all over with. I swear it lasted all of five minutes then, poof! it was gone. Yes, it’s that time again. Time to make goals for the new year. At the start of every year, I write down goals or things I want to achieve for the year. Rarely do I achieve them, stick with them, or remember them by February. I try again throughout the year, remaking goals and such, with the same results. As I was making my ill-fated list of goals for the year, I thought about why I don’t reach them. That is the problem I need to tackle. How to stick with my list and actually reach my goals. Some goals I achieve, but most of them, not so much. Course Corrected If you’ve been following along, then you know I’d fallen into some sort of slump or writer’s block or something. If you haven’t been following along, you can read the first post about this here and the second here . I’ll wait. All caught up? Good, let’s move forward. I am back i...

Farewell Old Friend - The Importance of Backup

Did you ever have that thought? You know the one where you think, gee this pair of shoes is falling apart and I should buy a new pair. Except you don’t because you love those shoes, they are comfy. Then, without warning, they fall apart and now you have to find a new pair. You can substitute shoes for any item you may have had this thought for. Like maybe a car. You know, you need to buy one because your rust bucket is making another new noise, but you put it off or don’t have the money, etc. You’re driving along one day and next thing you know you’re limping the poor hunk of metal off the road as best you can and calling for a tow truck. I think you get the idea of what I’m saying here. This happened to me recently. About a year ago, I realized my laptop was getting some age on it, might be a good idea to get a new one. I mentioned it to a friend, who gave me a laptop that he bought used and didn’t need or want, or bother re-selling it. I turned it on a few times, but my current lapto...

New Release - Faking it at Christmas

At last I have finished and released the 3rd story in the Holiday Wishes Series! I was so excited to finally do this story. Nothing like a short Christmas romance to get in the holiday spirit. So without further ado, I present Faking it at Christmas - A fake relationship, that of course always leads to more. Hope you enjoy reading it! MAKE A WISH UPON A SNOWFLAKE DURING THE HOLIDAYS AND IT MIGHT COME TRUE! Violet My boss has told me I have to attend the company Christmas party this year. My single male co-workers endlessly hit on me. I’ve no desire to date anymore, been there, done that, no thanks. I wish for a fake boyfriend for my party. After I make that wish, I run right into a hot guy, who also says he needs a fake girlfriend for the holidays. Like, what are the odds? These things don’t really happen. Now, if only I can keep my heart from doing its little flip-flops when I’m near this man, everything will be okay. Right? Liam I love my single life. No girlfriend in my fut...
