Celebrity Crush

Published 28 days ago • 1 min read

Keeping the newsletter super brief today so we can get to the good stuff

1) The One That I Want - Celebrity Crush Edition! Join me TODAY and TOMORROW for the 5th Annual Fall Into A Book reader/author event in the Isn't it Romantic Book Club on Facebook. Lots of great giveaways! Here's my post where I share a few of my celebrity crushes over the years and invite you to share yours too!
2) Just in time for the weekend: Searching for your next sizzling hot happily after??? Look no further! Ravenous Romance Reads's collection of steamy contemporary romance is here! (Includes my forthcoming anthology, Winter Wishes and Holiday Kisses).
3) Poll results -- Looks like we have an even split between Team Deadpool and Team Wolverine. Seems fitting for these rivals turned pals to be co-winners. Who doesn't like a good Enemies to Lovers trope? (Side note: we got one random vote for Team Cowboypool.*)
4) A little book news: I've submitted "The One That I Miss" to the Light My Fire anthology coordinators and (after I finish formatting) I'll send "The One That I Need" to the Winter Wishes and Holiday Kisses peeps this weekend. Both anthologies are up for pre-order now. These two stories plus "The One That I See" in Craving My Roommate feature David and Celia Mack and can be read individually or as a series of snapshots of their lives as they go from wanting to having a baby over the course of a year.
Not gonna lie, this couple has been an unexpected gift. I've loved getting to know what makes them tick and I hope you enjoy reading their trials and triumphs as much as I enjoyed writing them. l

Ciao for now,

Resending: Team Deadpool or Team Wolverine?

Team Deadpool or Team Wolverine, That is the Question Back in July, I began a year-long stint as president of my local writing chapter (Washington Romance Writers). I'm super stoked to be able to give back to an organization that has been such a blessing in my life. Probably 95% of my friends stem from the 24 years I've belonged to this special company of writers. For our August chapter event, we rented a movie theater for a private screening of Deadpool and Wolverine. Yeah, a private...
