Dude. All I could see on my locked screen notification was your response and now I'm a bit peeved. Don't DO that, it could classify as cruel and unusual. I do appreciate what you picked, though.
Paranormal romance (PNR) with a good dose of humor to go along with the adventure and spice is a favorite of mine to read, and what I'm shooting for. I may have to bang my head against the wall for a while, but I know I can do this if I don't give up.
20% done with the new book and doing my best to find my feet in a much less intense writing tone, while also trying to keep it under 400 pages. Dark & deep are much, much easier for me, but I really want to make this book (& trilogy) much more emotionally friendly/accessible than the last. #writing
Vending at a NYS indie author event at the Arkell Museum in Canajoharie today from 12-4. It's their first time doing the event, not romance specific, and it's a rural-ish area, so my expectations are incredibly low. I'm here to network and have fun. And write. #writing
Writing my second book, the first of a Greek mythology based trilogy, and this is 💯 the energy I'm channeling. My writing playlist is *fierce*. #writing #smut

His reading in the first couple ones is a bit rough, and he sounds dramatically exhausted throughout. He does hit his stride around book 3 and then it's gold.
That makes me feel better at least. So much of AI now is baked in and can't be turned off that it's very frustrating to have it seemingly lurking around every corner, whether it actually is or not.
I have the 9 as well. I've watched it happen, like I've taken a photo with a sky in the background and it'll auto adjust the image to what it thinks is the best look for that ISO without me hitting anything. I would love to be able to turn it off but I haven't figured out how.
I hate that the built in AI is auto adjusting my photos as I shoot them. You can watch it happening as the photo saves. I just want to have a choice, not have it rammed down my throat.
Oh, if you had bacon you could cut it up and sprinkle over while cooking.
IT HAS BEGUN. 😳 Book one, "Seeds of Fate", of the Echoes of Power trilogy.
And OMG do I LOVE the mock cover I made today to get me motivated. 😍 I'll share that later.

Snopes says no, not true. 🤷🏽♀️
This is why I'm always so surprised that you get sad if it doesn't snow, you're the one who has to shovel it! We should hire a plow guy hon.
That missing "e" takes your game into the realm of my smut consumption, Husbeast. 😄
Happy new game day!
Hee! We are having adventures today and this is a wonderful way to start.
Aww...
After a nice, impromptu event battling brain weasels with friends (not my weasels) it's time for socks and smut. #knitting #smut
I've honestly been colder at times this winter when we've HAD a working furnace. It's weird. Aside from the cold auxillary rooms as you mentioned, it's been just fine. 🤷🏽♀️
I am eternally grateful for how you take this on for us. You're my double entry bookkeeping hero.
I've spent the day doing all the good things. Working on a new project, reading smut, finishing a show Steve and I both love, and working on author stuff.
SHE SHOOTS, SHE SCORES! 4,242 words and two POVs later, and we have ourselves a bonus epilogue!
Given how much spice I read and how much I love it, it seems grossly unfair! I told my husband I need to take a class in 2026 for writing steamy scenes. I'm not above admitting I need to learn from those who know more than me. Any romance writers have conventions or courses they'd recommend?
I am gonna finish this bonus scene for the book's newsletter subscribers tonight if it kills me. Spicy scenes are the hardest for me to write. I'm like the gourmet loving foodie who can't cook when it comes to the spicy aspect of writing. It's a struggle every damn time. So ironic. #romancewriter
Time to start writing the newsletter bonus scene for Dark Encore. I'm thinking Ana & Cole on their trip to Iceland, perhaps? The stark beauty of Iceland, a romantic Nordic chalet, and... Well, you'll just have to see. 😏 #romanceauthor
