Ebook sale for only $0.99

Did you make a resolution to read more in 2023? I’ve got a deal to get you started!

My first book with The Wild Rose Press is on sale on Amazon.

Chicago lifestyle blogger, Jess Edwards, built a successful brand based on the pursuit of perfection. From throwing a party to decorating a home, every post is magazine spread worthy. Leo Martinelli, the law school study partner she never mustered the nerve to kiss, shows up in the middle of a photo shoot, and she’s thrilled for the reunion—until he serves her with a lawsuit.

Attorney Leo never thought he’d see Jess again, not after she disappeared halfway through the first semester. For the past ten years, he’s measured every woman who’s crossed his path against her. This meeting is his chance to say good-bye and finally move on from his unrequited crush—before relocating overseas.

To salvage her reputation, Jess has no intention of settling. To obtain the future he’s worked hard for, Leo can’t lose.

Christmas makes me feel better.

When I was a kid, I’d watch the VHS tapes of Christmas movies and specials my mom recorded on sick days. It didn’t matter the month. Christmas was always the cure.

For me, Christmas is not about presents or Santa. The season has always symbolized hope and possibilities. In the years I’ve needed it the most, my faith has been the light for me. My favorite parts of the holiday are not material. I love the time with my loved ones, the excitement about what’s coming next (which is so nice! As an adult, don’t we find ourselves dreading the unknown too much? With kids, it’s easy to remember the joy of a brand-new day.)

Her Homegrown Christmas Wish is the final book in a series about forgiveness and hope. Each book is its own complete arc but the stories are interconnected in telling a complete story about second chances. I hope you enjoy the books and find the message encouraging in this brand-new year!

I really can’t believe 2022 is coming to a close. Maybe it’s because so much has happened! My family was blessed to take two big vacations, and I hit a milestone birthday (40). It was a year full of fun and adventure. Also some stress, my youngest had an appendectomy in February which added most of the gray hair I’m now coloring (haha).

I’m so so grateful for the wonderful editors, publishers, writing friends, and my inimitable agent Dawn Dowdle for keeping me moving forward. My cowboy trilogy found a home and so did my standalone mistaken identity book. I had the most fun at Chicago Spring Fling and met some amazing people. AND! With Kara Leigh Miller at Anaiah Press, my entire four-book Home to Harmony series released in an 11-month span.

Since 2018, I’ve kept track of my monthly word counts so I can see how much I’m writing a year. I wrote a little less this year–175,000 words–but I am so excited about the new projects included in those counts.

My word of the year for 2023 is: FOCUS.

My goal is to finish writing the series I’m sending to my agent in January and start work on a few ideas I have for inspirational, romantic suspense! I’d love to manifest more contracts and more books coming out. I’ll let you know all about it!!

Thank you readers for finding my stories and coming back with each new book. I am so grateful for your support.
