Just signed two Deal Memos yesterday for 3 more books in my series and a free online read. I'm a working writer.

What social media company's motto was "move fast, break things" One guess.

A post about my book on IG resulted in 20 views. A re-post reel about a dog and baby has generated (so far, it's still going) 74,000 views. 20 new followers. My son says they're bots.

I've heard that too.

More of the same, I think, but the KU "pool of money" is significantly lower these past two months and it has really hurt authors who are exclusive. They're getting paid less per word.

What's everybody reading? I'm in a reading slump and am taking recs. I read everything from romance (low to medium heat) to domestic thrillers. Self-recs are fine, too. Even better if you're available in the library system, either audio or ebook.

In honor of Ms Bevโ€™s birthday here are 4 of my favorite Ms Bev books. Destinyโ€™s Surrender has my favorite Ms Bev heroine. Billie is hilarious. I may or may not a the cover of Captured tattooed on my arm.

My 2 cents on the Kindle Unlimited controversy. I'm mostly wide (and trad published for many of my books) but I can tell you this January-February sales have been soft everywhere. Apple, Nook, KOBO. This happens every year in Jan-Feb and now other factors are at play.

The difference between old me and current me: I wanted to give up when writing got tough. Now, I instead consider changing lanes. Pivot. There's no good reason to stay in your own lane if it's not working. It's never too late to start over.

Confession: though I have written plenty of spicy scenes, they're not my favorite to write. They take me for-ever! I'm thinking of moving on to writing closed door.

Let's talk about books. What are your favorite tropes? I love a second chance but I'm not exclusive. I also love fake dating.

I don't know how this works, but please send me more people who love books! I'm here for it.
