Last week I quietly released Sleeping Beauty Saves Herself: Stories as an e-book, and yesterday the paper back version became available (long story short, I goofed on the release date for the print book). It's my first book in nearly five years (thanks, pandemic!). These are stories that I love and have loved for the … Continue reading Happy Book Birthday to Sleeping Beauty Saves Herself
Years after the Pandemic broke my brain and I didn't think I'd write again, I'm finally publishing my follow up collection of short stories, "Sleeping Beauty Saves Herself: Stories" on Tuesday, October 15th, 2024. These stories span 20 years of my writing career and many have been featured in literary journals, magazines, and anthologies. From … Continue reading It’s finally happening
Hi friends! It's been a minute since I last checked in. Life happened between then and now (as it always does), and writing took a backseat as I navigated buying a new home, starting a new job, an ADHD diagnosis (for both BB and me), and raising a very curious kid. I started doing stand-up … Continue reading Sneak peak at something new
Hi! I know it's been awhile. Almost two years since I quit social media and two years since I published Reckless Night You Won't Regret. After publishing four books in the span of 9 months I was burned out and took a writing break. Then Covid happened and everything just stopped. I couldn't read fiction, … Continue reading An update

Rather, I got tired of consuming information that was often false, or made me angry, or even distracted. My writing was starting to suffer. I no … Continue reading Disappearing acts
The wait is over! Bad at Love (Oak Bluffs High Book 2) is out today in ebook format (paperback next week). Lexi Hamilton is bad at love, but great at dispensing advice with her Magic 8 ball on her call-in radio show. She’s not the heartbreaker her classmates assume her to be. Ever since her mom … Continue reading Happy Birthday to Bad at Love (and me!)
I've mentioned before how much I love short stories. Long before I was a novelist, I wrote flash fiction and short stories. Fun fact: I wrote my first short story in Kindergarten (and illustrated it). Through the years I've been fortunate to find homes for many of my short stories. It's long been a dream … Continue reading Release day for TOURISM FOR BROKEN HEARTS!
Howdy, strangers! I know the posts have been sparse, but that's because I've been gearing up for a busy fall that will include a book of short stories (September), an updated Secret Heart (October) with a bonus Scott and Avery story and the first chapter of a new romantic comedy, The Ten Fantastic Fails of Rory … Continue reading New short story on sale!
This month I have two new short stories up. You can read "Bulletproof Breasts" in University of Memphis's Pinch Journal. I wrote this in a flash fiction class I took in 2005. It sat untouched on a floppy drive for ten years before I rediscovered it. I reworked it and worked at finding it a home. 43 … Continue reading New shorts!
