Error!
Here’s a little secret about me. I have terrible aversion to making mistakes. Another secret (actually not a secret) is that I MAKE MISTAKES. And this one was a DOOZY! It began like this: I rushed my final preparations for Dreaming Dirty in Maryland. Now I WANT to fix it.

Death by my TBR pile…

The calm before
It seems that every year I start with a flurry of launches. 2024 is no exception. “First Kiss” — which included my short story, “Too Fast for Love,” launched on February 29th. And exactly one month later (March 29th) Dueling Flames will be live. I’m so excited for this latest Destroyer. It was a ROUGH…
