Insta-love. The hyphenated word that induces such reactions as: and If you’re an avid romance reader, you’re well aware of this term and have probably seen it in multiple reviews or used it yourself to degrade a book. I, too, am not a fan of insta-love, but something strange has been happening lately. I feel like I’ve seen more and more insta-love shaming that has spawned out of ridiculous accusations. I’ve seen this in reviews for books I love, books I hate, and even books I’ve written. For some reason, there seems to be a trend of readers calling out […]

Dear Writer, If you’re reading this, it means you were blessed and cursed in the same way I was. You were born with a writer’s heart and a dreamer’s soul and with that deadly combination, you’ve decided to write a book.

I’m writing this letter to you with the words I wish I could have read when […]

If you’re a fan of my Facebook page, then you’re no stranger to #WritingWednesday. Every week, I post a challenge for my readers – a challenge to set my word goal for that evening. Usually, the post asks readers to like, comment, and share my status to rack up words and add to the goal.

Which I always do. 😉 So, why did #WritingWednesday become a thing? It started out as just […]

If you would have told me this time last year that in a mere 372 days I would be mother to two published books, I probably would have laughed. Or cried. Or a combination of the two because at this time last year I was a little over half way through Tag Chaser and feeling like I would never actually finish. But nonetheless, here we are – and Song Chaser is only 7 days away. As an author, you have moments. All kinds of moments. You have times when you want to rip your hair out because a scene isn’t […]
