Books At The Beach Was Awesome!

I was at Books At The Beach for the third time this year. I can’t begin to express how much I love this event. The hostesses are just amazing, and the volunteers are amazing. It’s always pleasant and successful. Not to mention that I get to see friends and familiar faces that bring joy to my heart. Catching up with all these long-lost peeps is part of all the fun.

Not to mention, this year, I had not just my husband with me but my PA, Chanel Johnson. She kept me on the straight and narrow and was terrific with the people I couldn’t entertain while I was blessed to have a small crowd. She also held my books when I shipped two seventy-pound boxes her way until I got there.

I managed an incredible book and swag haul. Please note my goodies in my pics. They won’t be doing the event next year, but I look forward to 2026. If there is a sign-up, consider me signed up.

Sultry in the City Signing

Sultry in the City was a huge success!

I had a great time meeting great people, buying new books, and hearing more about Texas. I hope I left as good of an impression on the people there because they are sweet and seem to like the same books I do. Dirty ones! I took photos of my table but didn’t get to snap many photos of those around me.

Please check out some of the authors I did get to rub elbows with. I had dinner with Darlene Tallman and Liberty Parker. I finally got to meet the fabulous Lexi Blake, and I got the Faery series signed by her. Some authors I met who are newer to me are Kendra Moreno, Christina Berry, Sharla Wylde, and Kiersten Modglen. I bought books from Kendra and Christine, but haven’t had a chance since I got home to dig into them yet.

I want to thank Leigh M. Hall and Mariah Kingsley for hosting the event.

There’s treasure hidden in the desert, and Shannon knows how to get it. There’s just one problem. She’s going to need protection, and the only men up to the task are the very monsters she’s spent her entire life running from.

Of all the creatures spawned by the Occurrence, alphas are the most dangerous. Brutal, dominating beasts with bodies as hard and hot as desert rocks, and eyes as cold and deadly as the steel they carry on their hips.

And she may not want them to.

JUMPER, Somnolence, WIP Wednesday, Writing

The Tube WIP

I’ve written 22,500 words on JUMPER’s early draft in the last ten days. I’m trying to finish it completely by next Monday when I leave for Sultry In The City in Houston. I’m going to Galveston for a few days before the event and Austin after. I won’t have much time to write while I’m gone, if any. I will then have three weeks to do my 2nd draft before I leave for Books At The Beach.

In the meantime here is a typo for you. You make up your mind… was it a hot tub or a hot tube?
