Summer Ramblings
Hello, everyone!
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted any updates here on the blog and I finally have a ton to fill you guys in on!
I got a haircut, have had to start drinking decaf coffee (it was an adjustment, but much needed), my husband and I took our kids to the beach for our first family vacation, my garden is finally starting to grow wildly after our late start and…. I finished writing a new book!
The latter being the most important to you all, obviously.
If you follow me on Instagram, you already know that my new novel, Come Touch The Sun, is coming this November! It’s filled with street racing, suspense, banter and tons of spice 😍
As much as I want to continue the Catica series, for now it seems to be on hold, and I’m okay with that. I will get back to my first loves at some point; mainly because Reed, Brett and Kade are begging for their stories to be written. I can’t leave my boys high and dry, that would just be rude.
But this new series that has stolen my heart has been consuming me, in a completely different way than Catica did and I’m all for it. I’ve already figured out the main plot lines and have written them down for the next three books (planning to make it a 4 book series) and am building my Pinterest boards with no end in sight. They’ve sucked me into their world of racing, and the claws are deeeeep. I’m really holding back from jumping right into book two because I’m trying to focus on the launch for CTTS, but I’m finding it difficult to stay in my lane.
I’ve also taken on a side project and entered a dark, horror romance story into the Kindle Vella contest, The Vellys. Each week I’ll be posting a new episode for you all to read and if you like it, please follow along for updates and to cast your vote! The first 10 episodes are always free to read, so come and get a little dark with me 😈
For awhile, I was wondering if my creativity in the form of writing would come back to me. After my son was born, life was pretty hectic for me, for a good almost two years. He still doesn’t sleep through the night, and thus, I’ve ended up giving myself a bedtime, so when he wakes up at 5 AM I’m not burnt like black toast from staying up ‘til midnight like I used to be able to do.
All in all, I’m just happy to have been pulled from that dark hole. It wasn’t fun.
Creating journals, stickers and designing the cover for CTTS has been a massive breath of fresh air for me. Along with writing again. I feel like my life is finally coming back into some form of balance. For me, being a wife and mother will always come first, it’s the true dream I’ve always had for myself and where I wanted my future to go. Every day, even in the chaos of life, I wouldn’t change a thing. Getting to chase my littles around all day, work in our garden, preserve our food, teach our babies and tend to my home, it’s what I’ve always wanted. And at night, when I get those quiet moments to myself, I get to be creative and flex the part of my brain that wants to create. It’s complete bliss.
I’ve been making playlists and dancing around my kitchen, plotting and writing down random notes all over the place. It’s wild and intense and everything I need to be me. This dream of writing, of becoming an author, is one I never realized I wanted. I would write, I would read, but I never in my wildest dreams thought it would be something I could manage—yet here we are. And I’m so proud of myself for taking the jump.
And to all of you, thanks for being a part of the ocean I plunged into. I wouldn’t have this part of my life any other way either.
Alright, enough of the sappy-yappy-chatting. Let’s talk a bit more about CTTS!

I promise, it’s going to be a story you don’t want to sleep on. Make sure to add it to your Goodreads (here) and follow me on IG or TT (even though I’m in a bit of a shadow-ban at the moment, jerks.) to stay in the loop!
