I feel this so much. Same here.

A small black and white dog with dirt all over her and mud on her nose, standing on the patio outside.

Someone really loves rolling in the dirt and mud.

A hand holding a mug that says, "Good morning, asshole," with a laptop resting on bare legs wearing shorts.

A hand holding a mug that says, "XOXO," resting atop legs wearing fuzzy flannel pants.

We had shorts weather, now it's back to pants weather. Drunk Colorado.

I'm so sorry. I've been there, too. I hate it so much. I wish you luck.

Thank you, kind friend.

taking from the poor to give to the rich? have we all forgotten the lessons that sexy little cartoon fox taught us

A hand holding a pink mug with flowers on it and the gold letters, "XOXO," with a MacBook opened to a manuscript in MS Word.

Another day of trying to shove love in the world's face. This place sucks right now, but at least there's romance. On that note, I'm going to edit this 🌶️ scene.

The perfect assistant!

I did notice. I know other people who've also left it. I still haven't been able to fully pull away.

A hand holding a mug that says "LOVE", in front of an open MacBook with my manuscript open, and a dog sleeping in the background.

I haven't posted in a long time, but I'm still here. Just surviving. Sick, and disgusted with my country. The usual.

I dove back into my Entwined series, going through beta reader feedback on book 1, so edits are underway.

Cover reveal: a couple in silhouette looking out at a castle in the bay. Grace on the Rocks by Rose Prendeville. Tennessee Hebrides series book 1.

Not-quite-enemies to lovers. Grumpy/grumpy. Only one B&B. Rival deadlines. Dyslexic hero with a speech disorder. Latina heroine.

Let's be so real. It's been an awful week/month/year. But I have a book coming out so I guess I need to promote it. Pre-orders are live now. This one is contemporary romance, first in my new Tennessee Hebrides series. GRACE ON THE ROCKS publishes May 20. I hope you'll consider reading it.

Woman in PJs snuggling a black and white dog on her couch, and the dog is closing her eyes and resting her head on the woman's shoulder.

Silly me thought it was time to edit, but it's actually snuggle time.

I was successful all day, but not tonight.

I guess I spent a little time doomscrolling too. But otherwise, that sounds like a good day.

I've spent my day living in a romance novel (my WIP) and looking at dog pictures. That's all I got.

Blonde woman with long hair holding a mug with a rainbow on it that says "Have a day filled with love."

Hello, BlueSky! I refuse to watch TV this morning, so instead I'm wishing everyone a day filled with love and rainbows. I'm going to edit and dissociate for a bit.

A stack of papers (a manuscript) with red markings on it, below a martini glass with a pale yellow drink in it.

Editing with a limoncello martini tonight, and I just finished! Now time to make all the changes in the Word doc and then tweak some things in books 1 and 2. Keeping track of everything when you're writing a series is fun.

A printed ms called Vows of the Cursed, topped with a red pen and a mug that says "write your own story."

Editing tools. Best coffee (Death Wish) and best red pen (Pentel energel needle tip 0.7 mm). One more pass, then I give this "little" book a rest for a bit.

I'm ready.

Woman with long blonde hair covering half her face, wearing a fuzzy gray jacket and holding a lopsided black mug that says "Stay Wild" on it.

Today I'm starting the read-aloud round of edits on my WIP (just finished line edits last night), so I'll be trying to hide all day. Also changed the font to comic sans, like I always do for 1 round, because it helps tremendously. Loving this book more and more!

Agreed. Happy New Year to you!

2024 was fine, but I didn't accomplish all I wanted to. I wrote another book, edited a few, had quality time with family.

As a chronically ill person, I don't make goals anymore, so I'm not setting a hard fast goal for 2025, but I do want to publish book 1 in my Entwined series, at least.

So exciting!!

Yay!!!

So pretty.

Baby wants what baby wants.

42 today, and the winter solstice in Colorado is sunny and 63 degrees.

An old photo, circa 2000, of a bald man and a young blonde woman with their arms around each other, brother and sister.

It's been over a year since we lost you, and I still can't believe it sometimes. I'm so glad we have our birthday, it's so special to me that we share it. Happy birthday, big brother.

Ready for my Broncos to secure their playoff spot. #ThursdayNightFootball
