Hi First name / there
It's been a while since I sent an email (the last was November 24th). One moment it was almost December, and then, blink, it was January. If you celebrated holidays in that time, I hope they were joyful for you. 💗
 
Hit reply and share your favorite holiday moments, or your goals and dreams for 2024 with me. I'd love to get to know you better. 
 
Turning the calendar over to a new year often brings reflections and resolutions. I stumbled a bit in 2023, multiple times. In April, I delayed a book I very much want to finish (The Beast Within, it's still coming, I promise!), and early in autumn, I permanently canceled two books that I couldn't find any mojo to write. It turns out, there was no mojo to write anything. The fourth quarter of 2023 was creatively barren.
 
But it's regrouping time! The characters are alive and talking to me, and the words are coming back. In 2024, there will be more monsters and small-town contemporary romances.
 
I'm currently writing a steamy and cute monster romance featuring a grumpy revenge demon and the sunshiny human who makes him feel unfamiliar, happy things. It's called The Grumpy Demon's Sunshine, and it will release as part of the Monsters in Love 5: Lost in the Fire multi-author anthology in March! I'm giddy to have a story alongside ten incredible monster romance authors. You can preorder the anthology now for just $3.99! (USD) 
(Psst… preordering will save you money, as the price goes up on release day.)
