Update July

I've written chapter one of Out of Line for my Balls and Brawn Security Series. I put a seek peek in my last newsletter, and the entire chapter is posted on my Patreon for all tiers. This is Colt's story with Roman Petrov, the insufferable client he can't stand. After this book, I plan to have Mal and Zion's story, Out of Excuses. I will be writing Ghost Ship for my Boys' Love series soon. I also want to write something for Halloween. If there are any particular characters yo

River Wolf Pack and Cascade City

Anyone remember my shifter series? Angel Hills was the third one. I've been thinking about them lately because I'm in the process of reformatting A New Beginning in order to get the print book out with its new cover. After that, I'll update the kindle edition with the edits. As much as I love Josiah and River, I've had the most nostagia from rereading about Leo and Sam. I've always had a soft spot for those two. Leo with his lion's mane of hair and tough exterior, and sweet S

Writing Update

I'm hard at work on book four of my SOS omegaverse series, The Alpha's Determined Omega. Stay tuned for a cover reveal in my newsletter next month. This book revolves around Elliott, one of the seven omegas at Borders' ranch, along with the other series characters you've come to know (and, I hope, love). Other than that, I want to put out the next book in both my Boys' Love series and my Balls and Brawn Series. I'm not sure which to work on first, so if you have a preference,

Jelly Beans and Update

I have had a really difficult time finding jelly beans this year. The only way I've been able to get them is by ordering them on Amazon. They have some pretty good ones--Starburst and Jolly Rancher. But I even like the Brach's, although I couldn't find them on the zon. when I was in the drugstore yesterday and saw some Brach's jelly beans with "buy one get one at 50% off," I grabbed two. Well, there was a reason for the sale, let's just say that. They were "spiced" jelly bea

Ever Thought of Becoming a Beta Reader?

Definition: A Beta Reader bridges the gap between initial drafting and professional editing, representing the target audience to ensure the book resonates with readers before launch.. What do they do? Beta readers are extremely important to an author, who has virtually no objectivity left by the time they write the final word. An author needs at least one and preferably two or three beta readers who can read their raw manuscript and do the following (with examples): Point out

To My Shore--Chinese/Thai BL, Gay-for-you, Dark Romance

Note: Mild Spoilers. This isn't a recommendation as much as a discussion on a show I enjoyed. Please feel free to comment below. I watched this on Viki. I've watched a ton of bl's over the past four-five years. Over three hundred! I love them. Chinese bl's are the bomb. I am not kidding. Every singel Chinese bl I've seen has been really good in some way. They do a good job. This BL stuck with me for several days after I watched it. It's dark, in that one MC (Fan Xiao) is extr

KPop and BL Songs

I have been using these two playlists on my Spotify to get my granddaughter to sleep. This is why there are some Kpop songs included on the BL list, and there are probably also duplicates. But, I thought if anyone was interested, I would share them. I would love to have yours in the comments or even just some song recs. BL songs playlist Kpop songs playlist

General Update on Life and Writing

(Warning: if you dislike medical stuff, skip paragraphs 2 and 3). Well, it's mid-February already. I have kept very busy since I retired at the end of October. No time to get bored or...breathe. My granddaughter had her surgery last week. Thank you for the good thoughts and prayers! For the most part, Charolotte acted like nothing had really happened. Everything went well. They disconnected the fistula from where it was connected to her vagina and put it where it was supposed

A Wintry Day of Writing-January 24, 2026

I'm sitting in my family room, the Christmas tree lights on (don't judge me!) and a roaring fire in the fireplace. (Luckily, the husband knows how to make a good fire.) I just put some suet and seeds out for the birds. The big winter storm is going on. I live in the South, but evidently not far enough south to get anything much. We had a little bit of snow this morning, but now it's just some freezing rain. Don't get me wrong, I don't want sleet. I'm sorry to any of you suffe

The Christmas Puzzle Struggle

I've mentioned on my newsletter (if you aren't subscribed, please do. One day if there isn't a Facebook, how will I contact my readers?) that at Christmas time, our family normally does at least one 1000-piece Christmas-themed puzzle. This year was no different, but I don't know what it was--perhaps it was the fact that my son and his wife had just had a baby (with unexpected special needs) and could not be there--but the first puzzle seemed uncommonly difficult, and the seco

Heated Rivalry, eps. 5-6 (end)

Original Post -- January 18, 2026 I finished watching Heated Rivalry today. It really was good. I was glad Rachel Reid got a longer nod at the end of the last episode. In the others, you missed it if you blinked. I was impressed by (and, sorry, I haven't looked into the actors' names or anything yet) the guy who played Shane's ability to be so vulnerable and to cry. His anxiety attacks in the final episode were so believable and realistic in a situation where he surely kn

Heated Rivalry, Eps. 1-4

What with my granddaughter being born and her unexpected birth defects, things were super busy for me when Heated Rivalry came out and I'm just now sitting down to watch it. I've now watched episodes 1-4, and, yeah. I'm enjoying it. It's so odd feeling to watching an MM romance! I read the Game Changers series a long time ago, and bits and pieces are coming back to me as I watch the series. But I can't really remember how the plot goes and I can't tell what's been added or
