Hello, readers! I HAVE BIG NEWS! The cover and blurb of Saving Wildwood, book 2 of the Wildwood Series are LIVE!
Clari, Toby, and the shifters are back in the sequel to Entering Wildwood (the books do go in order, so if you haven’t read it yet, I’d suggest starting there). I can’t wait for you to see what everyone is getting up to and, of course, who finds their mate!
See below for information about the book, release date, and more!
It’s October! That means it’s time for sweaters, apple cider, pumpkins, and leaves. But you can’t have fall without the addition of Halloween Reads 2021, and what better number for a Halloween list than 13.
Breaking your offerings into three categories this year, I bring you Scary Good Sales, Spooky New Releases, and Haunting Halloween Reads. So grab a steaming mug of your favorite brew and your e-reader, get cozy, and enjoy these spine-tingling books. There’s something for everyone.
Let’s get going!
Hello again, authors! Last time, we talked about handmade giveaway items you can make to engage with your readers without spending an arm and a leg on the prize. This time, I’m going to discuss some giveaway purchases that don’t take the time or creativity of making something handmade but still won’t break the bank to buy.

Hey, authors! As I write this, I’m preparing to release the second book of the Wildwood series, so the topic of author giveaways is near and dear to my heart at the moment. Like many of you, my budget is tight, but I love connecting with my readers.
A conundrum, right?
Well, maybe not as bad as you might think.
If you’re an indie author involved with other indie writers (or NaNoWriMo in November), you’ve probably heard of Camp Nano taking place in April and July. In honor of that, I wrote about what my process was for deciding to participate last year. And that was to make myself be okay with the possibility of failing. Here’s my story of learning to be OK with not finishing NaNo.
The Weekend’s Super Bowl Performance during the halftime show left me angry and disappointed on multiple levels, and it should have done the same to you.
2020 Halftime Show
Last year Jennifer Lopez and Shakira took to the halftime stage in a history-making performance. It was the first all Latin lineup in the event’s history. Two strong women, icons in the music field, and role models to girls all over the world. They put on a fantastic show, certainly one of the best in memory.

Can you believe we’re already a week into NaNoWriMo? It’s passing in a bit of a blur so far. This time around I get my best writing in after my daughter goes to bed too. It never ceases to amaze me how much my NaNo experience changes every year.
For those unfamiliar with NaNoWriMo is, it’s a challenge to write a novel in the month of November.

Writing
Month
If you participate, you are pledging to attempt to write 50,000 words throughout the month. If you break that into all 30 days, it comes out to 1,667 words/day. At its heart, NaNoWriMo is our kick in the pants to get off our behinds and buckle down on writing.
It’s that time of year for authors. November 1st. The first day of National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as NaNoWriMo.
The biggest decision is whether or not to participate. It’s no small ask; 50,000 words is a lot. At the same time if you complete it you have a very solid foundation of a full-length novel. This will be my third year participating, but I’ll be honest, I didn’t make the final decision until today. The last two years have been pretty difficult for me between a concussion year one and severe bronchitis last year. As it is, I’m recovering from another round of severe bronchitis this time, but there’s something I love about NaNoWriMo, and decided I didn’t want to miss it.
Meet Jasper Cole
I really wasn’t sure exactly how Jasper Cole would turn out when I started writing Learning to Love, but that’s not a huge surprise for me. My characters tend to develop themselves and tell me the things I need to know as we go through the writing process. However, he did a pretty good job of surprising me a couple of times despite everything. Humble, persevering, and gentle, Jasper really defied the odds he was given. In the end, he’s now one of my favorite characters and I can’t wait for you to get to know him too.

Elanor Tisdale and Learning to Love (Wynbourne Manor Book 1) are coming soon! For those waiting for the next Wildwood story, apologies, you’re going to have to wait a little longer, but I know you will love Elanor too.
ETA: Buy Learning to Love here!
