The Only One

Sparks fly when Piper Vaughn, a Manhattan real estate agent, meets Richard Spencer, a wealthy English businessman in New York for a year on an extended project and looking for a place to live. She's blonde and beautiful, with a sweet smile and bubbly personality, while he's tall and lean, with bright blue eyes and a laidback demeanor, and also nearly 20 years her senior. Though the attraction is mutual and instantaneous, they try to keep their relationship strictly professional, but as soon as they close on Richard's new apartment, they can't resist each other any longer.

A sweet and passionate romance develops between the two, but before they know it, Richard's project is over and he must return to London. This abrupt wake-up call is compounded by the return of Piper's ex-boyfriend, and she is faced with a life changing decision. Should she stay in New York, the city she never thought she would want to leave, or give everything up to start a new life in London with the man she loves?

Short Story: Her Secret Ingredient

Hey, all, this is just a little idea that popped into my head earlier this week. Considering it's going to be some time before I have anything substantial to share with regard to Crimson Hollow, I thought I'd post this here! I hope you all like it, and who knows, maybe I'll come up with more things like this to share. (Some may only be available to my subscribers on Patreon, so consider clicking the link at the bottom of this post and becoming a Patron!)

The dirt is cool and soft under her hands as she digs her fingers into the soil, releasing a delightfully earthy aroma. They tell her she ought to wear gloves for this – they usually tell her that a lady shouldn’t do things like this at all – but she likes the feel of the dirt, likes being on her knees in her garden as she tends to her roses. They – the society ladies, the gentlemen callers, the old women at church with their black lace gloves who sneer when they see dirt lingering under her nails – tell her to hire …

How To Support Your Favorite Indie Authors

There's a misconception about published authors that continues to linger, that once a writer is published, they've made it; they must be rolling in money. It's a very weird misconception to me, but I can kind of understand it, since there's a lot of mystery surrounding books and what goes into publishing them.

Some authors make it big. They're the names you hear all the time: Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, James Patterson, just to name a very small few, but they're the exception to the rule. As much as a lot of us would like to, we can't yet quit our day jobs to write full time.

I had someone send me a message once, saying they were intimidated by me because I had a book published, and I sat there like, ...what? For me, publishing a book was no different than posting a piece of fanfiction online; it just took a little more time and effort, and a small amount of money, and I was charging for it.

I have three books out now, and I'm certainly not rolling in m…

Progress!

I finally finished Book 1 of the Crimson Hollow series and sent it off to my "editors," yay! Of course, in the grand scheme of things, this doesn't mean a whole lot, since I still have three books and two novellas left to write, but considering I didn't think I'd finish Book 1 until the end of the year, I'm counting it as a win.

Fortunately, Book 2 is already started, and I'm hoping to dive into that soon. I'll probably take a small break, as I usually do after I finish writing something big, and I've also got a fairly substantial editing gig that I'll hopefully be able to get started on soon-ish. I'm hoping to take the money from this editing project and put it towards getting a new cover for No Safe Place (and possibly Finding Home Again, depending), and doing a bit of a relaunch of the book.

In non-writing news, I'm going to see Taylor Swift in Tampa on August 14, which I'm super excited about. I'm also staying that Wednesda…
