The TMI: August 17, 2025

Why Do We Need More Books Like This?

Because the war on women is real, and we deserve a break from the nonstop chaos of headlines and press releases that tell us we are little more than an incubator. We crave stories that let us escape, and where justice isn’t delayed or denied. In Aura Cove, Karma doesn’t just show up. She delivers retribution to the men who deserve it. 

Why is Never Lose Hope going LIVE on Kickstarter First?

Because I want to bring this story directly to you (my readers) without handing over control (and most of the profits) to Amazon. Help a small business thrive so I can put more stories out into the world. Your support makes a huge difference. 

FOLLOW THE KICKSTARTER HERE TO RECEIVE UPDATES & HELP ME REACH MORE BACKERS!

Velvet Guild Episode 1 & 2 Now on KU

Velvet Guild is the guilty pleasure you didn't know you needed. A laugh-out-loud, toe-curling rom-com with a delightfully kinky twist, starring a cast of unforgettable characters, all 40 and up. Friends Don't Let Friends Stay Vanilla. 

Available Exclusively on Amazon Kindle & FREE on Kindle Unlimited 


Currently Writing: Never Alone

Never Lose Hope is complete, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how it all came together! You can back the Kickstarter to be among the very first to read it 60 days before the official release.

Now, I’m diving straight into Book 3 of the series. The outline is ready, but we’ll see how closely the draft follows it. Stories have a way of taking on a life of their own, that’s the real magic of the writing process.

Currently Enjoying: The Pampered Chef Burger Press

Confession: I hate the parties, and I am not a fan of the MLM business model. But I love their products and I’m a total sucker for a good kitchen gadget. This one’s a keeper: it makes perfectly shaped burgers with that ideal center divot for even cooking. They pop right out and go straight onto the grill or into the freezer for quick meals at a later date. It also has an insert for sliders.
