Skye Kelrose started her own business, making stickers, bookmarks, & tumbler wraps. She asked if she could send me custom pieces, & if I am happy with them, I would post them in support of her & her new business. Oh, my. These are stunning! Check her out!

Me, knowing Tower of the Lost Princess is with beta readers, and I'll begin proofreading Courting Fear on Monday: I think I'll relax today!

Me, while my husband takes a nap: Writing a scene in my standalone, dark romantasy where the fierce commander kneels for his mate...

The first tissue paper I bought was almost white, it was such a pale color. So I ordered a darker purple, and I love how this looks! 💜 I'm so excited to release my Rapunzel retelling this fall, and pre-orders will open on my site on April 6th!

(Same day as title/cover reveal!)

Me: the snow is so thick, I can stand on it! (So I grab my book and rose)

My husband: Ooh, are you going to take some *anesthetic* pics?

Me, giggling until he realizes what he said. We both laughed. I'm proud that he's so supportive, either way! 🥰

One of the pics I took:
