How long did it take you to write No-Mod Book 1, and do you already have the story for the second book set in your mind, or are you still developing it?

Thank you for asking, that's a great question! Book 1 was written over about a year but the concept had been floating around in my head for a while before I actually sat down to begin typing out the story. This will be a three book series and I'm very excited to say that the first draft of the second book is 90% finished. I'm hopeful for a late summer/early fall release and the final part of Addie's story will be sometime in 2021.
I'm toying with the idea of a writing some short stories for more minor characters somewhere in between. Thank you so much for reading and leaving such a great review. You rock :) (less)

He's got the jawline of every man in fifties-era military ads and the untempered bravado to match. His heart echoes brightly through his charismatic smile. Obviously, Andrew is the most handsome Andrew I know.(less)

I teared up the other day listening to a friend talk about how his girlfriend was secretly planning a trip for him. He saw an email or something that tipped him off and we chatted for over an hour about how incredible that was. It’s not even that the trip was a big deal, it is. But, It was more about how she was planning it around a brewery he really digs. Going through the effort of setting up a
