Some news, as they say! Some of you know this already, but in December, after 17 years (!) at Harlequin/Carina Press/Carina Adores, I decided it was time to pivot to a freelance editing career. I loved my job and especially the amazingly talented authors I got to work with, but I am so excited. ❀️

The insults in the Home Alone movies have always been strong but I’m watching Home Alone 2 and β€œhe can’t tan, his freckles just connect” really hits home.

I thought I woke up at 3 am, took my mouth guard out, and safely put it into its container before going back to sleep.

Turns out I dreamed the container part.

I found this out when I found the dog chewing on my expensive custom mouth guard. 🫠

The level of hurt I feel when the dog decides to go lie in another room instead of in my office with me while I’m working. What did I do?!?! 😩

It's so hot they had to add new colors to the heat map scale because dark red isn't hot enough.

We've gone from old blood red to necrotic flesh taupe.

friends-to-lovers stories created by Talia Hibbert and Casey McQuiston."

Hmm, the link works for me so I’m not sure why. You could look it up on LinkedIn, maybe? The job is Editor, and it should be listed under HarperCollins (though the job is technically Harlequin).

Also open to NYC candidates! But it does require 2 days/week in the office so it’s hybrid, not fully remote.

Open to NYC or Toronto! It's a hybrid role, requiring two days in the office per week.

This would involve working on our digital-first books under Carina Press and on books for our Harlequin Brand trade imprints, including Carina Adores and Afterglow Books. The best of both worlds!

Meme of a drunk guy yelling at an unimpressed girl in a nightclub; the caption reads "I have been so fortunate as to be distinguished by the patronage of the right honourable Lady Catherine de Bourgh"

Apropos of nothing... a series of Pride and Prejudice memes.
