I am a kind, thoughtful ball of sarcasm. I read, write, and blog. Author of The Choice Series. Pre 2000s music is the best.

Waking up early for work is one thing. Waking up ten minutes before your alarm, and knowing that you have lost those ten minutes of sleep forever is another thing entirely.

HEY! HEY #BOOKSKY!

Today is NEW BOOK DAY! :D

My next Virtue Shifters #paranormalromance, OWL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS, is now available!

WHOO-OO says you can't go home? Romcom star Kayla finds herself in a meet-cute when she returns to Virtue to film her next movie! 🥰

www.amazon.com/dp/B0FWCXL6Y...
The very cute cover to Murphy Lawless's OWL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS features a golden owl in silhouette against a dark green background. Christmas trees, mittens, and other holiday accoutrements surround the title. There's a silhouetted image of a small town with a big gazebo to one side, and the series title, Virtue Shifters, is featured above the gazebo. Cover art and design by Indigo Chick Designs.
