Writing my Winterbourne Brotherhood series has upended my process. For all of my books, I started at page 1 & wrote to the end. This time, scenes are popping into my head out of order with dialog & back story. Has anyone else experienced a change like this for one specific series?

Whenever I back heroes into a corner & I don't know how to get them out, I pace. It's the fastest way I know to solve a problem. I usually have to tweak earlier chapters, but Pacing has never failed me. What do you do work though a plot problem?

I love my Rocketbook, but I can't erase my plot notes, even after I scan them. It's silly, but with a regular notebook, my notes are right there next to my computer. Scanning & erasing the Rocketbook feels wrong, like I'm losing contact with my notes. Does anyone else feel like this?

The wolf shifters of Winterbourne aren't a pack, but a brotherhood. When Samara runs into their territory with their old enemies chasing her, survival is no longer enough. For Kellen it’s about trust, love, and fighting back.

Give me a "found family with unquestionable loyalty” any day. Or “fated mates who fight it until there's a crisis to fix.” 😏

What’s your favorite romance trope: enemies to lovers? second chances? Or something else?

She doesn't just need him, she wants him.
He can’t stop his desire, but it could kill both of them.
Their tension burns hotter than the sun and the wolf pack that stalks them knows it.

MY FUGITIVE WOLF—your next slow-burn obsession.

She escaped a brutal kidnapping with nothing but her knife. The Riverstone Pack hunts her & the only wolf she trusts is the pack's ex-unaliver who could break her heart.

If you enjoy fast-paced, slow burn with a found family, this is your book.

My Fugitive Wolf-out NOW!

Working on the edits for book 2 of my Winterbourne Brotherhood series. The beginning needs to start farther back on the timeline. Not surprising. I have a habit of starting my books without enough set-up. I'll make it work 🤞

I just created a new word (I think) to describe my heroes' previous occupation. I don't want to get the algorithims angry with me. So, if I were to descibe the occupation of the 3 brothers in my Winterbourne Brotherhood series as 'ex-unalivers' would you know what I was referring to?
