My daughter decided which colleges to apply to and finally chose a major. She was considering a career in prosthetics but the requirements are steep, like pre-med steep. She settled on Speech&Hearing Sciences. 💐

Important to keep up your reading as October gets underway in #SalemMA #SalemHalloween2025

On top of that, daughter 2 is ready to transfer to a university, so it's college application time. So many exciting and joyous occasions. I will celebrate my usual way by feeling stressed and overwhelmed.

4am writers club was a bust this week. Family/life challenges abounded. My mom has been ill and needs some extra TLC. We're also going into "busy season" as I call it. Both of my kids birthdays + holidays.

Happy October! (With some appropriate, fall-themed kissing books recs to match) It might not be cold for everyone, but these books are primed to get you in sweater-weather mode.

The first OFFICIAL installment of #KissingBooks is back with a cozy fantasy, a monster romance, and one of my all-time favorite horror authors who has never let me down with the smooching. Also, an assortment of links!

October is one of my favorite months for hiking. The heat of summer fades away and the sky is very blue.

I'm really happy with Texas 3 so far. I've had so much time developing this series. No deadlines. No rushing to finish or revise. Lots of fine-tuning. I think it shows in the final product.

I suppose I'll see One Battle After Another but I hated Licorice Pizza (director's last film) and Killers of the Flower Moon (Leo's last film). I don't trust either of those dudes.

This weekend's movie is May December. Natalie Portman plays a bad actress mimicking Julianne Moore who's playing a lisping ditzy Mary Kay Letourneau type. It's weird and I liked it

Aftershock is on sale for $1.99. An EMT and a military hero team up in the rubble of a major earthquake amzn.to/3EadUwE

I went on a lot of book research trips for my California set books. I miss doing that. If I write a novel set in England, will I ever go to England? Currently outlook fuzzy.

I was getting nostalgic over the research trips I used to do and found this post about my motorcycle club series: romance4thebeach.wordpress.com/2015/08/28/c...

I'm back in the 4am writing club. Aiming for 4-6am on weekdays and a bit more on weekends. I'm tidying up Texas 3 first. I might go back to the historical romance I started, but I've been away so long.
