Finding My Writing Groove Again
Sometimes You Just Need a Self-Care Date
So…I signed a traditional publishing deal
I’ve been so quiet about this for so long, I’m still wrapping my brain around what’s actually happened. I signed my first traditional publishing deal.
Behind the scenes of writing “Lady in My Life”
What was the very first image/scene/idea that sparked Lady In My Life?
When I first thought about Wesley and Lynn’s story, I knew I wanted to play around with the billionaire boyfriend trope. Lynn is confident in all aspects of her life and rightfully believes she deserves the world and more. Wesley is a man who can most certainly buy the world…it’s the and more part he needs to work on. If you remember him from Loved By You, you know what I’m talking about. There’s an arc in their story where he has to grapple with his beliefs after Lynn makes his chest hurt. From that moment came the rest of the story around it. While there are some technical terms I’m still learning–stuff like business mergers and power of attorney–I’m very excited for the drama their journey will bring.

Underneath the current of my main couple, I’ve been writing about healing. Romance is just the ship I use to guide them on this journey.
