If everything goes as planned, I’m on an episode of the Fated Mates podcast today.

I’ve been a huge fan of Fated Mates since a friend sent me It’s Romance Law!. I loved talking to Sarah and Jen but I was also kinda nervous. Hopefully you enjoy it.

I have intended to restart my newsletter for about 2 years.

I did some homework and picked a platform and paid my fee. But every time I tried to set it up I got stuck and frustrated.

Even ChatGPT couldn’t get me set up on that platform and I rage quit that, too.

Then I tried something different and here it is. Please sign up if you’re interested in my next release. I won’t bother you unless I have news.

I’m working on a contemporary set in NW California on the Klamath River on my tribal lands. I also have a couple other partials set in the same area plus a paranormal set in the same area. And a contemporary Christmas romance. Where are the Indigenous Christmas romances? I’m not a fast writer so don’t clear you bookshelf yet.

I wrote a Bridgerton Fan Fic — it’s short and sweet about Colin and Penelope (#Polin). It’s set in 1986 high school: Regency High Senior Spy.

I am working on a new contemporary romance and will have more news when I get further along.

Happy Spring!

In my heart, I feel like I have more romance books to put out in the world and I have a couple in progress. But I don’t seem to be finishing anything.

I don’t know what to tell you.

I am thrilled that people are still finding the books. At this point, they could probably use a little refresh but that’s a project way down the list.

If I get anything close to being ready, I will announce it here.

I was given the opportunity to turn Heartbeat Braves into an audiobook using digital narration.

I understand all the concerns about using digital narrators. I would LOVE to record my books with Indigenous voices but I don’t have the skills or resources to make that happen.

I wrung my hands and thought about it for quite some time and decided to go for it.

It’s available via the Apple Books app:

Heartbeat Braves.

I just finished listening to it. Madison does a good job but here are a few funny mispronunciations like when Linda tells them to polish their resumes and she says Polish, like of the country Poland. I also hear some typos and awkward sentences.

But I think it came out great. I hope people who prefer to consume their romance via audiobooks will give it a try.

I would love to hear your feedback.

Hello Friends. I am still here.

It has been a tough few months personally and also this website was broken behind the scenes and took awhile to unravel.

I had this picture set aside months ago when I thought I could post again but then things were delayed. It’s spring now.

I’m happy people are still finding the books and I appreciate all your notes and comments.

I am working on new books and hope to have news soon.

Thanks for sticking with me.

Check out this skunky noodling around my backyard and creating a home under the shed. There’s a motion light that’s supposed to scare him off but it has completely failed to do its job. What a fluffy tail.

I wouldn’t get too excited but I have a bunch of new stuff I’m working on. One is a contemporary romance — not Crooked Rock — but in the same spirit. I also have a couple of other stories in various states that have some romantic elements or fun Indigenous characters.

Updates as they become available.

I can’t believe I never posted this. I was fortunate enough to be invited by Erin and Dani of Raven Reads to do a Romance Author Q&A. Author Maggie Blackbird participated, too.

Here’s the replay. It took me awhile to get on because I am bad at social media and couldn’t figure out which button to click. hehe. Also that screencap really captures my essence. ha.

Season of Us got a recommended read from Dear Author!

“Wow – this is what I needed right now. Cute, lovely, funny, emotional, heartfelt – reading it felt like slipping into a hammock and rocking the afternoon away in a warm breeze with an occasional slurp across the face from a loving dog.”

I am thrilled that people are still finding my books. Thanks for all the notes and support. I appreciate it.
