The TMI: September 28, 2025

I'm Back After 2 Weeks out West!

I spent two inspiring weeks out west on a research trip, my notes and my mind are overflowing with fresh ideas. I love writing in new places, and Utah’s stunning landscapes will almost certainly find their way into a future series.

The break was much needed and unforgettable. Between savoring amazing food, exploring four national parks, and hiking and biking across two states, I came home both energized and recharged. Along the way, I stopped at a few bookstores, connected with readers, and soaked up every bit of inspiration I could. What an adventure! I'll be putting together a travelogue post and video soon. Check out last year's adventure along the Oregon Coast here.

Currently Writing: Never Alone

I’m about 30% into drafting Book 3 of the Aura Cove Temporal Traveler Series. In Never Alone, Neve and Perry land in 1984 to help a neurodivergent chef clear his name and take back his place in the kitchen. It’s retro chaos with heart and humor. 

Currently Reading: Just for the Summer

Just for the Summer is the ultimate easy-breezy read with depth—perfect for our 16-hour marathon drive. Abby has a gift for creating lovable characters and settings that feel instantly relatable. When I need a story to make the hours fly by, she’s always a favorite.
