K-Pop Demon Hunters Is On Your To-Do List

 Okay, you guys need to go watch K-Pop Demon Hunters on Netflix, and then immediately after, jump into the K-Drama called My Demon

All of my Paranormal Romance readers, these are for us! Let me emphasize you do not have to be a K-Pop fan, or a K-Drama fan. These work for any lover of forbidden romance, enemies to lovers.

The fantastic heroines, the sexy demon boy band, the last song, the line, "you gave me your heart, now I'm here for your soul." I mean, just go watch it.


As for My Demon, I don't have words for how obsessed I am with that show. It's 16 episodes, and it's complete. Imagine a dark and broody demon who loses his powers when he meets a human woman. Now imagine a human woman who wants nothing to do with the sexy demon, until an assassin comes after her. The Demon wants to make a deal, the woman just wants to live. And poof! His powers transfer into her accidentally. Now he needs to get her to give him the time of day, and she still has an assassin after her. Whatever will they do?

We need more good PNR in our lives, and this really hits all the high notes for me. I need more recs, either K-Dramas, or books, but seriously, go watch them and then come back and spam me with how much you loved it!

Come See Me! Book Signing On May 17th!

 I have a book signing coming up! I am so excited to share this with you all! If you're in the Las Vegas area, please stop by!

I'll be showcasing my Paranormal Hockey Romance, especially seeing as my team is in the running for Lord Stanley's Cup!

I'll have paperbacks of all 3 New York Empires books.  


I also have the pleasure of sharing with you that we have another Empires book releasing next Fall! 

Inspired by this tweet:


That's right, we are auctioning off hockey players! In our book, obviously, not in real life. But inspired by real life! And if you want to get caught up on the New York Empires, all 3 books are available in both ebook and paperback. If you're new to my hockey series, I write as one half of Kenzie MacLir with my friend and co-writer Heather Lire. We picked up the series after the first book, so while my stories aren't in Going All In, I still like to tell everyone about it, and share the entire series. Our series is about the New York Empires hockey team and each player is a bit...more. We have hockey gods, werewolves, and even some magic stuffed in there. So if you're ready for some hot ice hockey, check out The New York Empires! 

And swing by my book signing if you're in the Vegas area! ;)

I Have No Shelf Control

 How do you store your books? Are you lucky enough to have a home library? Are you someone who has boxes of books? Or are you like me where you don't have the space for all the books?

One thing I have is a TBR shelf  dresser. It's full of books I want to read but haven't gotten to yet. I have bookshelves for my keepers that I've already read, but I honestly don't know how to store the TBR books. You can see I have my actual clothes in my clothing dresser...and books. Where do you store your TBR? 

Am I the only one who doesn't put them in a bookcase? I have 2 very full bookcases, and several very full shelves, and one very full nightstand...But those are all books I've read and want to keep. What do you do with books you plan to read?

Holiday Traditions

Once upon a time, on a night much like this, there was a newlywed bride who was having her first Christmas with her husband. We were creating our own traditions, and we were away from our families for the first time.
 
He wanted a real tree. I wanted fake. He wanted a star, I wanted an Angel. We had maybe 10 ornaments for the tree. We were young and had just enough money to afford a small Charlie Brown Christmas tree (look it up if you’re too young for that reference).
 
We kept saying we would get a star next time we went shopping, or next time we got paid, but in the mean time, I didn’t love the bare tree top. My grandmother used to put a Santa hat on top of her tree when I was a child, and I did have a Santa hat…so temporarily we threw a Santa hat on top. Well, Christmas on your own is expensive when you’ve just moved cross country.
 
The Santa hat stayed that year, and we figured we would wait for a sale after Christmas to grab our star or angel. But expenses popped up, and a tree topper after Christmas felt easy to push to “next year.” Oh well get one “next year” or we don’t need one now, but “next year.”

Fast forward 22 years later and we still have a Santa hat on top of our tree. My children get a kick out of it, they love the story behind it, and now, while we don’t have an aesthetic tree like many do, we do have a lovely tree full of ornaments where each one holds a special memory.
 
So what traditions do you and your family still do for this holiday season? Is it a small tradition like ornament making? Is it a big one like traveling? Ours has become a Santa hat on top of the Christmas tree.

Merry Christmas, and Happy Hanukkah! I love that they coincided this year!

Happy Thanksgiving!

 To all of my American friends out there, Happy Thanksgiving! 



I'm sharing some thoughts I had over on the Smart Girls Read Romance site.

The other day at work we changed out the Fall/Thanksgiving decorations for Winter/Holiday decorations, and I have to admit, it made me sad. Even my neighbors have put their decorations up earlier this year.

I don't think I'm ready for winter yet! In fact where I am, we've barely had our autumn, let alone winter weather. So I decided to keep up my fall decorations. At least for the next few days.

It made me wonder why I love fall so much when I'm really a summer girl at heart. I really think it's less that I love fall (although pumpkin spice everything is my jam), and more that I love the break in weather, and the last slow days before the crazy busyness of the holiday season starts. I'm enjoying the nice weather, I'm enjoying not having to be everything everywhere all at once. I'm enjoying the last of this year. I'm not quite ready for the end of the year yet. 

So for now, today, it's still fall for me, and my desk. At least until Fall becomes Fall-la-la-la time.

What is your view? Are you ready for the Winter holidays? Or are you dragging your feet and in denial like I am? Feel free to post what you are thankful for in the comments! I'm thankful for all of my lovely readers!

A Cover Reveal, A New Story, And A Wedding

 I've kept a small secret that isn't a secret. If you've read DANGEROUS PAST, you'll have seen a page with the Fatal Instincts book titles. One of them said "Coming Soon..."

I'm thrilled to share that I'm almost done with edits on a surprise(ish) short story called DREAMS OF THE FUTURE!

This is a wedding story for Kate and Kyle from DARK PAST. And I have a beautiful cover to share. I've included the blurb, however I do want to emphasize that the blurb may change slightly between now and the publication day. That date isn't sorted yet, but it will be soon. Edits won't take me long, however I do need to wait my turn with my formatter, and I'm heading back to work this week, so my writing time will drop from summer break.

This story is based on my own wedding, and all the things that didn't go to plan. I actually cut some things since I was worried readers would say it was too unbelievable! I would like to call this my first non-fiction story! LOL My wedding anniversary is this month, so it feels like I should release it as soon as possible, but I'm realistic. It's easily going to be summer, but I can't give a firm date.

The way to get this story for free is to sign up for my newsletter but it will be available for everyone after that for just $.99 after the first week.

That being said...here is the beautiful, gorgeous, amazing cover:




Kate Landry is soon to be Kate Donovan, if only the groom would show up.


Maid of honor Cara Nguyen wants everything to go smoothly for her best friend's wedding, yet almost immediately, the wedding turns into a fiasco. Kate and Kyle deserve to have the wedding of their dreams, and Cara wants to make it happen. It’s hard to do when the flowers are delivered to the wrong location, the groom is missing, and the lovely sunny day has become a sweltering hot mess. She definitely doesn’t have time to get distracted by a sexy groomsman in a kilt.


Kyle Donovan is ready to marry the love of his life, but first he has to help some stranded guests…


Dash Helms is in the small town of Chester, California for his friend Kyle’s wedding, when he is immediately tasked to help. A caravan of wedding guests break down on their way, one of the groomsmen misses his flight, and the beautiful maid of honor is the only thing he can concentrate on. When Dash is asked to step in at the last minute as a replacement groomsman, of course he says yes. But the striking brunette he’s walking down the aisle wants nothing to do with him.


With everything seeming to go wrong, what can go right?


In this wedding short story written for Kate and Kyle from Dark Past, the cast of the Fatal Instincts series comes together to celebrate their friends. With everyone in the same place at once, and romance in the air, can this small town handle them?

Hygge

 I wrote a post about being cozy on the Romance Gems blog a few years ago, and this week I was thinking that you know, it's actually still true.


I love being cozy. I mean who doesn't, right? Well the other day I saw a post on Instagram by my local library talking about swinging by and picking up a Hygge Pack. A what pack? That's what I said too! Some of you may be ahead of the game and know all about "Hygge Life" (my sister knew! I guess I'm not cool lol).

Hygge is: "Hygge is a Danish and Norwegian word for a mood of coziness and comfortable conviviality with feelings of wellness and contentment." Well shoot, a mood that is all about being cozy? I am in.

I'd already bought a soft throw blanket, and some very soft slipper-socks now that I'm working from home, and I think I'm ready to level-up to Hygge. I started with fluffy socks, my soft throw blanket, my comfiest yoga pants, a cardigan since my upper half needs to be presentable on Google Meets, my writing gloves, and grabbed a scarf. Not just any scarf...but the softest merino wool scarf ever! It's lovely and warm and I was so cozy it was ridiculous! I grabbed my coffee and dogs and went to work.

I don't know if I'm doing it right, but I don't even care. Coziness for all!

I think I'm going to really enjoy living the Hygge Life...








So what do you think? Hygge for Life? Do you have a cozy fave? A blanket? A candle? Fuzzy socks? What's your cozy must have?
