GIRLS WITH BAD REPUTATIONS is now (inexplicably) a USA Today Bestseller. I’m in shock. This book is seventeen months old (17!!!) but here we are. Haha!
This is my first time making the list with a solo title, so heartfelt thanks to everyone who has embraced Kayla, Ty, and the Lillys.🖤🤩

Right after arriving in D.C. for Apollycon last Wednesday, I took a detour to a gorgeous townhouse in the 'burbs to meet up with the incredibly talented Chandra Wicked. She and her team made me feel comfortable in front of the camera, and we took about 1000 photos for her upcoming project. 😎🌟

Driving back from Boston, we stopped in this amazing spot in Union, CT called The Traveler Restaurant where you get three free books with your meal. They had everything from nonfiction books to thrillers to (of course) romance. The staff was super friendly, and the food was yummy!

The amazy Lucy Score invited me to share my HEA with Parade Magazine! Check out these relationship tips from five romance authors. Mr. X responded to mine by reminding me that I made my dislike for mushroom picking known very early in our courtship.
