𝗤𝗢𝗧𝗗: 𝗯𝘂𝗯𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗼𝗺𝗯𝘀? I’ll take both, please — with a side of whiskey, something sweet, and something good to read. 🙋🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
I would say 75% of my book ideas come to me when I’m soaking in the tub. I used to joke that they were little angst bubbles and every time one of them popped, I got a new idea. 😂 But seriously, baths have always been a comfort to me, ever since I was a little girl. I can look back on every single powerful moment in my life — good or bad — and remember sitting in the bathtub alone with my feelings. I think it’s part of my processing, to be in the warm water with a candle lit and soft music playing. When I’m sick, I want a bath. When I’m stressed, I want a bath. When I’m celebrating, I want a bath and some wine. 😂 And when I have writer’s block, this is the first thing I do to try to cure it. ⁣
⁣
One of my favorite quotes I’ve written that came to me in the tub is: “Ignorance is a blessing as much as it is a curse. You can’t crave what you don’t know exists.” ❤️

Rhodes swallowed, stepping a little closer. “Show me what you hate.” ⁣
⁣
I let out a shaky breath, my eyes roaming all the imperfections of my body. “Well, my stomach—” ⁣
⁣
“Show me,” Rhodes interrupted. “Don’t tell me.” ⁣
⁣
Swallowing, I lifted my hands from where they rested at my sides and gently touched my stomach. I knew it was smaller than just a few weeks before, but it was still thick — there was still a roll when I sat down and I had muffin tops that fell over my tiny shorts. ⁣
⁣
“Lift your arms.” ⁣
⁣
I looked at Rhodes questioningly, but the way he stared back — his eyes intense and determined — I didn’t question him out loud. I lifted my arms above my head and waited. ⁣
⁣
Rhodes’ throat constricted and he seemed to be battling with what he was about to do, but before I had the chance to think more of it he grabbed the hem of my shirt and carefully pulled it up and over my head. ⁣
⁣
My heart accelerated from a slow trot to a full-throttled gallop. He was stripping me. Rhodes was stripping off my clothes. ⁣
⁣
Slowly, he bent to his knees and glanced up at me. I could never forget the way he looked kneeling below me — vulnerable, yet still so strong. He pulled his eyes from mine long enough to wrap his large hands around my waist and press his lips gently to my stomach. ⁣

We all know there are a million reasons we could complain about the quarantine life, but I want to hear the GOOD on this Friday. 𝗦𝗼, 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲 — 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗗 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲? Is there a passion you can devote more time to? Are you spending more quality time (even if it’s on video chat) with those you love? Have you learned something new about yourself?⁣
⁣
For me, there have been MANY ups and downs. I have had to be gentle with myself and take the bad days as they come. But, I’ve also been able to devote so much time to yoga, yoga wheel, pole dance, and mobility stretching. I did a puzzle and flew a kite for the first time since I was a kid. I’ve been walking almost every single day for at least a half hour, exploring new neighborhoods, enjoying the beautiful Florida spring weather. Me and my friends have done weekly happy hour Zoom calls that help me keep in touch with them even better than before. Mom and I have FaceTime chats and talk on the phone every day. I’ve been meditating. I’ve been reading a LOT more. Jack and I have found creative ways to date (living room dance lessons, indoor camping, reliving our favorite concerts... yes, please!) I’ve been journaling and getting ahead on my writing (and falling behind some days, too). I’ve worked harder on my marketing and even had the time and energy to create a social media workshop and share it with young, hungry writers to help THEM grow.⁣
⁣
There are many things that might hurt right now. You may be sad or frustrated or stressed or depressed. But remember that there is ALWAYS good in the world, and in the space right there around you.⁣
⁣
I challenge you to find even just one thing, and tell me in the comments. 💕 Happy Friday!

Which cover is your favorite — On the Rocks, or Neat?⁣
⁣
I absolutely love working with @perrywinklephoto. Lauren is incredibly talented and has this amazing ability to see my creative vision sometimes even better than I do. She knows how to capture the raw emotion I put into every book, and bring my characters to life. ⁣
⁣
I love the longing looks, the tender touches, the EMOTION I feel when I look at these covers. I can’t pick a favorite... can you?

I am so excited to share that I am participating in the 8th Annual Mental Health Awareness Month Book Fundraiser. What does that mean?

More about the Keith Milano Memorial Fund: ⁣
⁣
The Keith Milano Memorial Fund was established to help raise awareness about the devastating and deadly disease that is mental illness. Keith’s spirit and laughter is kept⁣
alive through our efforts to increase awareness about mental illness and to raise money for education and imperative research. Keith often struggled with society’s perception of mental illness. Our hope is that by having the strength to say that Keith was “Bipolar” we can strip away the stigma and help others to be more open about their disease.⁣
⁣
The Keith Milano Memorial Fund benefits the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) . At the end of the event, participating authors pay AFSP directly.⁣

Raise your hand if you a REAL OG and know who Tanner MF’in West is 😍🙋🏼‍♀️ I don’t talk about my first series much — mostly because I’ve grown SO MUCH in my writing and editing and design that, to be frank, I don’t feel like my earlier work shows my full potential. BUT, that being said, I still get all up in my feels when I think about this book. Tanner... GOD what a mess he is. My broken, broody boy. I can still remember the way I felt writing the Thanksgiving scene in this book, the way I felt writing them together in the car, the way I felt writing the last, epic chapter that had my heart in my throat. This was Kandi Steiner angst being born, right here. And no, it may not be perfectly edited, but damn it, it’s a part of my journey. And I love it fiercely. 😻⁣

I miss Italy. I miss traveling. I miss my family and my friends and my gym and so much more. But, I have found comfort in counting my blessings during all this craziness, and I just want all of you to know that you’re among those things I am thankful for. Thank you for being here, for being vulnerable, for being genuine and true in an online space where so many are fake. Thank you for being someone to lean on for the people you love, and for admitting when you need to lean on them, in return. It is so beautiful to see all of us coming together. None of this is easy, but we will persevere. And I know that because each and every one of you is strong, courageous, inspirational, kind, loving, and resilient. Keep your chin up, babes. Happy Friday. ❤️
