I’m addicted to planners.

There, I said it.

The first step is always to admit you have a problem, yeah?

Well over the years, I’ve tried so many, oh so many different kinds of planners. I’ve attempted the old-fashioned way of bullet journaling. A lot of things didn’t work. Because you know what else? I have to have my ...

With everyone around me settling down, I’m happy to continue living my life single and carefree. That is unless I can convince the concierge, Lucy Wilson at 425 Madison to finally take me up on that offer to go out on a date.

She’s beautiful, friendly, and her compassion for each and every one of the residents is admirable. Something tells me that she doesn’t see herself that way at all though.

This is why I’ve made it my mission to break her out of her overly cautious she...

Hello! Im excited to share the cover reveal for my next release, Innocent Princess. This book was so much fun to write because it was my first (definitely not my last) re-written fairy-tale. Innocent Princess is part of the Modern Princess Collection, a multi-author series of re-written fairy-tales.

This year is all about discovering who I really am.
A road trip to a place seven hundred miles away, might not seem like much, but to me it means freedom.
I set out looking for adventure, I...

I’m excited to share this book recommendation with you. My good friend Cassie Graham released a book last month, and it’s fabulous. The story is about what happens when you fall in love with your best friend. The characters are fun, and both do a lot of growing. 

The best part of this book is that it just happens to feature one of my GAMER BOY characters! Yeah, you read that right. I won’t tell you which one of my Gamer Boy characters graces a few pages but here’s a hint, this characters own...

Yay! Finally, Simon and Gia’s story is available on Audio. I’m so excited for readers to experience this story through the voice of narrator Amanda Stribling. She does a fantastic job with both Simon and Gia. I stuck a gold mine with her and this book.

Boyfriend Maintenance Update
I'm excited to announce that my next release, BOYFRIEND MAINTENANCE will be available on April 25th. The book is written and with the editor right now. And I have to tell you; this is my favorite book I've written so far. The cover reveal is later this month, on 2/28. In the meantime, here's the blurb!

Emmy
My bad reputation is coming back to haunt me. Now, I need a date for my brother’s wedding just to keep the vultures at bay. I’ve noticed Jake around the building, and he’s the perfect man for the job.

The thing is, I don’t actually have what I promised in return for his help, but I don’t want this to end.

Jake
I’ve seen Emmy, and she’s out of my league, but that doesn’t stop me from taking her up on her offer and upping the ante. I have rules, however, the more time we spend together, the more the lines get blurred.

Her lie made her more like me than I ever thought possible. Too bad liars don’t do it for me.

A little boyfriend maintenance goes a long way…

After all, 425 Madison Ave is the perfect place to fall in love!

A game between friends....

RUBY
Just friends.
That's all we are,
All we ever were.
But when I finally let myself go,
Let myself really feel,
The only thing I want is him.

Despite how opinionated, frustrating, and charming he is,
We're only friends.
He's my player number two.
But lately, we're powering up,
Trying for more,
And playing this game just might destroy us for good.

LINK
She deserves better,
Better than the game-less douche who gets to have her.
She's strong, feisty, and so damn smart.
Too smart--if you ask me.

And now, I'm amped up for more,
Ready to play this game,
With no "game over" in sight.

** This book can be read and understood as a standalone but does contain minor spoilers for the first two books in the series. **

GAME ALL NIGHT, book #3 in the Gamer Boy series will be release.....NOVEMBER 26TH!

I'm so excited to bring you Ruby and Links story.

Hi ,

Can you believe that summer is almost over? I can’t, but then, I love fall, so I’m ready! But you know what I’m not ready for? Winter. As much as I love fall, I hate that it only sticks around for a week then it’s suddenly winter. Yuck.

So I’ve been spending a lot of time at my desk working on Game All Night over the past month. I’m really loving Ruby and Link’s story so far. I’m also brainstorming another super secret and “can’t wait to share” novel.

Keep reading for a the blurb for Gam...
