Happy Monday!

I had such a busy and fullfilling weekend. I’m so happy to have met and chatted with many of you at Book By The Arch. It reminded me of all the reasons I write and gave me a dose of motivation. I met so many authors and got to do my favorite thing, talk about books all day!

At one point Josh said, “You are definitely with your people.” and I was! I found people that have the same hobbies as me, Shelly Ferguson(https://www.instagram.com/shellyfergusonauthor/?hl=en) crochets book and kindle holders for everyone who purchases a book.

I will soon be looking up a tutorial for that because they’re so cool. There was a vendor selling small binders that can be used to track your reading or cash stuffing which is a current hyper-fixation of mine. You can find me on a weekend night crocheting and watching people on youtube put cash in envelopes, I know it’s weird but it soothes me.

I also met some local authors like S.E. Emory and S.L. Rowland. It was so hard for me not to spend all the money I made at the event.

I’m still recovering today but I am jazzed to finish the current project I’m working on. I’m not completely ready to share yet but I can say its very different from anything else I’ve written…maybe even a different genre. *hint* *hint*

Alright I should get back to writing, but I want to know, besides romance what is another genre you read?

If you are in the Saint Louis area, I will be at the Books By The Arch events this Saturday on October 11th! This is a FREE event! Tickets are not needed but it does help us get a head count.

Happy Friday the 13th! We are in the fall season, at least by my standards. If it hasn’t gotten cold yet where you live, it might be very soon! So order your hoodies now. Do you know I have an entire merch shop? It’s a war between those who drink coffee & read books and those who drink wine & read books. I personally start with coffee and switch over to wine in the evening.

Check out the shop and grab your hoodie to rock all season long!

This week I’m officially taking down my summer garden and getting our backyard ready for cooler weather. It’s still 90 degrees here in Saint Louis but after returning from Cancun I feel like my summer days are now behind me. For those who love scorching heat and getting bite by mosquitoes I apologize but I couldn’t be more happy to step into a new season.

With this change in season I also started a couple fall college classes on my long journey to finally finish college after a six year gap. What does that mean for my writing? It’s on pause. I have about 15,000 words in my next book for K.D Clark. I’m beyond ready for Natalie and Dante’s story! I also did some great research in Mexico for the book.

I have about 9,000 words on a super secret project that I’m keeping under wraps. It’s completely different than anything else I’ve written and I can’t wait to change direction for a bit!

Although stopping in the middle of a writing project is never easy I’ve found that to have a more balanced life it is necessary. I must embrace seasons of focused writing (when I’m in break from school) and also embrace seasons that allow me more freedom to have joy, spend time with friends, workout, etc.

How are you embracing the change of season? Are you ready for fall weather yet?

To celebrate the release of Savage Queen, get in the mindset for the next book (which has scenes that take place in Mexico), and to just finish off my summer strong I spent the week in Mexico. And it was absolutely beautiful! I have one goal on a tropical vacation and that’s to lay by the pool or beach and read for long stretches of time. Mission accomplished!

I’m currently reading Bourbon and Lies by Victoria Wilder and 220 pages in I’d recommend it. Of course I have another book to read as well, one that includes a beach and a bookstore!

I’m terrible at celebrating but I think I did good this time. I hope the end of your summer is just as enjoyable! The book ideas are coming at me fast and I will share them as soon as I possibly can.

Savage Queen is officially Live! I can’t wait for you to meet Sophia Ibarra and see how she interacts with the quiet but dangerous Cosa Nostra Capo, Tommy Ferrari. This is a mafia love story you won’t be able to put down! Download it now!

See You On Release Day!

We are less than two weeks away from the release of the thirteenth book in the K.D Clark collection! Mafia romance is a genre that stole my heart in 2016. I spent the entire year of 2017 writing my first book; Merciless Queen and about six more months learning all that I could about the publishing industry. I’ve came along way since then and the last eight years fell like they flew by.

I’m incredibly grateful that I have reliable and enthusiastic readers that allow me the opportunity to bring the best books I can into the romance world. I found the romance genre at a time when I desperately needed it. I was in the midst of a quarter-life crisis, job-less, and recent college drop-out. I had no idea what the life in front of me held but I knew I needed a escaped. I read one or two books a day. Being able to escape into another world when my own world was so uncertain was exactly what I needed at the time.

My goal is to give back to the romance community and give readers books that they can escape into and maybe take bits and pieces of the story with them as they face their own life challenges. All that to say I can’t wait for you to get your hands on my THIRTEENTH book! And if you haven’t read the twelve that came before it there’s no time like the present! All my books are available in Kindle Unlimited and I have some beautiful matching matte covers that look great on a shelf!
