💕Cover Reveal for TRACE💕

It’s finally TRACE’s cover reveal and I’m so excited. Xpresso Book Tours is handling my cover reveal and Giselle and her hosts are doing an amazing job. I can’t tell you how impressed I am with the response I’ve had so far because this is only a few hours into the cover reveal and most of the time I don’t see much until the end of the day.

WIP Wednesday: What Beta Reading/Editing Really Looks Like

The betas are working on their read-through of TRACE, and Bri just started her final edits. We will be doing our tandem edits this weekend before sending out the book for formatting. This is a snapshot of what part of the first page looks like right now though. However, this doesn’t include my corrections and changes, since I have a different method of doing a ‘final pass.’ Which means reading it on paper and red marking the fuck out of it. Right now, none of my edits have hit this thing yet. I will also make final changes to the story as I catch continuity issues or story flaws. And I’ve caught a few.

Just to Tease your Tuesday

It’s another Tuesday… they keep happening. It’s like they’re weekly or something.

I have another Trace teaser for you. I love this guy he’s tender, filthy and full of feels. Raiden is definitely special, but Trace is my kind of dude. I’d be all over him.

I love me a hot mess of a man.

✨✨WIP-It Wednesday✨✨

It’s WIP Wednesday again, and I’ve moved on to the printed manuscript of TRACE. This is what I read while the Betas are reading the digital document and making comments. I red mark my book, pick out errors and make notes where I need to build up areas. I also make notes where teasers and excerpts are… even though the one at the bottom of this page looks like the word ‘treason.’

TRACE Teaser Tuesday!

It’s Teaser Tuesday, and I’m so excited because I remembered to post on the correct day… and I don’t mean just any day that ends in Y, but an actual TUESDAY!

Hallelujah and amen, even.

So, here it is. You get to know what Vivi was thinking when she first saw Trace. I love this girl (no offense Lilah-pet).

✍️ WIP Wednesday Bear Skins And All

Hello, welcome to a lovely Wednesday! It’s Hump Day and that means another one of my updates, as well as a typo. Today’s typo is lovely… I mean bare skin, bear skin… who could confuse them?


I’m on chapter 17 of the second draft of TRACE. If you’ve read my previous WIPs, you know that I take my original draft, print it out and start an entirely new document. It’s going well. My word goal for draft two is 70,000, and I’m a little over halfway through the draft and at 73% of my goal. That will put this book likely at 80,000-85,000, which is quite typical for one of my books. The exception being Ethereal Bodies, which was close to 94,000.

The Last RAIDEN Teaser Tuesday

Today’s Teaser Tuesday is the last week of RAIDEN. Next week I’ll start posting teasers of TRACE. I’m so excited to be bringing you this teaser because it’s a blend of both. It’s a teaser about Trace and Vivi from RAIDEN.

And let’s also say, everyone that is anyone who knows me, is so excited that I got the math correct here!
