Rylee Florence smoothed the lacy dress over her hips and held her breath. She looked into the bridal shop mirror, and all the stress she’d been carrying on her shoulders since last night melted away. 

It was gorgeous. 

The alterations made it like a second...

Just wanted to pop in and say HI!

Summer is here and my schedule is packed. I had a writer’s conference last week. I’ve got another writer’s conference in Montana next month and then a family roadtrip in September to wrap it up. We are going to visit the Ark in Kentucky, my brother and his family in Virginia, the cave in Luray, and the giant aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia. I’ll have pictures to share when I get back!

What about you? Any fun trips planned? Please share! I love talking to...

Hi, Krystal Shannan here!

It’s all romance and adventure and magick all the time here! If you like your books to feel like action movies, I’m your gal. My inspiration for action and adventure and hero material comes from longstanding favorites like Indiana Jones and Die Hard. Inspiration for my heroines and romance come from favorites like How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, Pretty Woman, and Chasing Liberty– with the spunky free spirit who can kick some butt and take names when necessary. You kno...

A friend of mine had the final book in her dragon series release this week! If you tried the Dragon of New Orleans I shared in last week’s newsletter from Genevieve, then take a peek at the final book in the series. It’s complete. Which means you and I can binge read. Which brings me to my two questions this week…

Do you like to binge a series? Or do you like to read slowly over several years as the books release?

I have a surprise for you this week! Cover Reveal! The next book in the Soulmate Shifters in Mystery, Alaska series!

I do need some input, because I’ve been unable to set...

It’s that time of year again. You know the time when you start planning all the plans. Yep. It’s a fun time. Overwhelming time. I love Christmas. It’s one of my absolute favorite holidays of the year. It’s the time of year when people still go out of their way to be cheery and kind and do things for other people without an ulterior motive. I know there’s a lot of people out there that believe and celebrate a lot of different things and I do believe that it’s important that we all embrace what fu...

I can’t believe it’s already October! The last few days in North Texas have been positively delightful. I halfway considered digging my sweatshirts out of the top of my closet today. It was in the 60’s in the morning. I ran around and opened all the windows for the whole morning two days in a row. It was amazing! Crossing my fingers for the streak to continue!
