Every 6-9 months I show back up for a "Hey, how y'all doin!" and then disappear again. I'd like to say, "But that's all about to change!" but I know myself.
Anyway, the Lovehurts audiobook will be releasing super duper soon. So be on the lookout for that. ;)

I was venting about a situation to my best friend. Except I didn't send the text to my best friend. I sent it to the person I was venting about. I'd very much like to disappear forever now.

A year ago today, I signed my 3rd book deal in a 10-month period after over a decade of hoarding my stories for myself. The reviews of this forthcoming book might be a little mixed but I'm still pretty freakin' proud of myself.
