Read MoreOH MY GOD ALERT THEY’RE ABOUT TO KISS JAMES AND OLIVER I’M FREAKING OUT that is all, bye I’ve been working toward this moment for the last one hundred and forty thousand words, and I’M SO EXCITED. I have to stop so I can drive home, but holy moly, it’s here. IT’S…
Read MoreWhen I first started writing Mason’s story, I was confident that I was embarking on a series. The long story short is that the original idea for Mason was sparked through four short stories.

When I embarked upon Mason’s story, I realized, about six chapters in, that I was writing the third book…
Read MoreHappy Solstice! A day late and a dollar short, but here I am. Last night, I attended the level 2 prana flow class at BYS, and then stayed for the winter solstice after.
