π―πΊ I accidentally became a book pusher (no ragrets)
Hey there, you beautiful book lover, So. I have a confession. Last Tuesday I was supposed to be writing. Hotshot words, on a page, like a responsible adult with a deadline and a functioning sense of time. Instead I inhaled C.R. Riley's Life Series until 1am, at which point Mr. Mav appeared in the doorway doing his signature "I have accepted my life" expression. "Coming to bed?" "I can't. The reformed player is TRYING and she won't LET him and I need to know what happens." "...are these real...

Hey there, keeper of secrets (well, MY secrets now), Remember how I've been suspiciously quiet lately? Yeah. There's a reason for that. Well lots of reasons, but one is I wrote a whole new book I didn't actually plan to write. And then I just... released it. Quietly. Like a squirrelly gremlin in the night. No big launch. No countdown. It's actually not even on retailers yet. Just me, sliding a veruh veruah spicy hockey romance into the world like it's a note passed in class. Surprise? π π...

Hey there, fellow survivor of winter's audacity, I'm going to keep this short because my brain is running on approximately three functioning cells right now. The flu got me. Then the cruds. Then migraines decided to join the party because apparently my immune system sent out invitations. And now FloridaβFloridaβis throwing another cold snap at us like this is somehow normal and fine. Ma'am, I did not sign up for this. I live here for sunshine and the right to complain about humidity, not to...

Hey there, fellow decision-maker, It's official. Keys are turned in. The old place is someone else's problem now. We are in. Well. We're physically in. Mentally, I'm still standing in the middle of the living room going "wait, where did I put theβ" and then wandering off to open a random box that definitely doesn't contain what I'm looking for. Progress. π TLDR for the time-crunched: The move: Done. Keys returned Monday. We live here now. Unpacking: Happening. Slowly. With frequent snack...

Hey there, fellow survivor of adulting, We moved. That's it. That's the update. I am now one with the cardboard. The boxes have accepted me as their leader. My dogs think this is the greatest adventure ever invented, and I've opened the same "kitchen stuff" box four times looking for a spatula that I'm 87% sure is in the garage. With the holiday decorations. Obviously. (Photos below of what I'm generously calling "progress." You're welcome for the chaos content.) π TLDR for the time-crunched:...

Hey there, book lover, Is it just me, or does social media feel like a full-time job you never applied for lately? Between trying to keep up with algorithm changes, pretending to understand why TikTok thinks I need seventeen videos about sourdough starters, and the general chaos that is existing online right now, I'm exhausted. Some days I open Instagram and immediately want to throw my phone into the nearest body of water. Which would be problematic since I need it for, you know, actual work...
