There’s something about a fake dating romance that gives me all the feels. It’s the tension of will they/won’t they fall in love paired against the is it or is it not real? I know some people don’t like this trope because of the lying aspect, but that’s actually one reason why I like to […]
Summer Lovin’: Covers to Swoon Over
It’s summer in the States and beginning to heat up! Summer is always one of my favorite seasons for reading. It’s hard to beat a good book poolside, on the beach, or in the hammock. Do you have your summer reading list ready? I’ve admitted before that I’m a sucker for a good cover design. […]
A Look Back at 2022!
Hello Inspy Romancers! Can you believe today is the last day of 2022? I truly can’t. It seems like the older I get, the faster time passes, wouldn’t you agree? Before we say goodbye to this year, let’s take a look back at some events that occurred over the past twelve months. Thanks to the […]

Last month my blog post mentioned some of the things we did on our most recent trip to Spokane, Washington, where I lived when I was in high school. Before we went to Spokane we drove through North Cascades National Park, since I’m trying to visit as many national parks as possible. During one of […]
New Year & New Releases
Over the last few years, I’ve written so much that reading has sadly taken a backseat. I’ve snuck small moments to devour titles here and there of books I just couldn’t wait to read. But, by and large, I’ve let my To Be Read pile grow staggeringly tall. One thing I’ve learned is that no […]
Five Little Authors # Giveaway
It always amazes me how authors write so differently. At times over the years, I’ve heard about a book that sounded very similar to one of my unpublished works, only to buy the other author’s book and read a story completely different than mine, even though the subject matter was the same.

A Beachy Christmas & Giveaway
Are you confused? Wondering why I’m talking about Christmas when it’s only October? Well, here’s why!

The beach isn’t usually what you think […]
