Happy Wednesday!

It was our dog Hamphrey's birthday over the weekend, so we took him to the park and to Petsmart to pick out some special treats. Here he is resting after a lap around the pond:

Do you celebrate pet birthdays? I don't go all out (we've never thrown a party for him), but I like to do a little something to acknowledge that my dog is getting older. He's 9 this year, and it's wild to think we've almost spent a decade together! I miss the puppy years when he would dart around the house like wildfire, but it's nice to relax with him now too.

On the writing front, I'm still hard at work on my vampire novel. There's baking, maybe a bed and breakfast... I'm trying to find a happy medium between silly and serious, and wanting this one to veer more urban fantasy than cozy mystery (though I love cozy mystery books too).

In summer, I'll have another poetry book out, and I look forward to sharing more about it closer to the release date. This one is about belonging, resilience, and self-love. Quite a different theme than Wreathbound! I'm glad to be writing something with happier vibes.

Speaking of summer, is it warming up where you live? It's been getting hotter every day here, and I even wore shorts today. Summer is on the way!

Over on Instagram, I'm doing a 75 Day Challenge, where I'm posting every day for 75 days in a row. So far, I've done 10 days of the challenge so I have another 65 days to go. I'll be sharing: author life updates, writing tips, behind the scenes, book snippets and quotes and imagery, and more on my feed. Plus, I always like to post a few things to my IG stories every day. Follow along on Instagram.

Review Copies:

I've decided to open up review copies for my books, and I made a form on my website that you can fill out if you're interested. Here's the form.

Happy Sunday! Oops! I thought this newsletter was sent out on Wednesday like it was supposed to, but it turns out it was stuck in my drafts. Apologies for sending this out a bit late, but I do have some great books to share with you. Since I'm adding in an apology, I wanted to add in a question: Did you watch Eurovision? If so, which song was your favorite? Reply and let me know. I liked the songs from Finland, Estonia, Austria, and Moldova the best. Here’s a photo from this month. My family...

Happy Wednesday! When I'm writing, everything's a mess. Binders on the floor, papers dragged out of who knows where and spread out for reference, not to mention the fact that dishes pile up for a bit longer than I'd like. The trade off is that I'm in the zone and productive, but dang, sometimes the messiness can really get to me (or my husband, who is a total neat freak). PS: this photo only shows one binder, and isn't an accurate representation of my writing mess! (I do love those YouTube...

Happy Friday! I had this newsletter all ready to go on Wednesday and then forgot to send it out, so here I am in your inbox on a Friday. :) First, thank you so much to everyone who preordered, read in Kindle Unlimited, or bought Thorn after its release!

And if you want a preview of the paperback, check out my reel on Instagram. Now that Thorn is out, I'm...
