Happy New Year! I hope everyone’s 2026 is off to a great start. 😎
It’s time to talk about New Year’s resolutions, but mine are usually the same from one year to the next:
Some years, I do better at these than others, especially the whole work-life balance thing. I tend to have way more work than fun. But it’s all about progress, not perfection, right? 😂
What are some of your resolutions for the New Year?
Kitty Boodle wants to wish everyone a Happy (early) Thanksgiving! 😊
Boodle likes to curl up under this bush and watch the birds and other critters in the yard. I love the little bits of color from the fall leaves scattered around her.
Thanksgiving is my favorite weekend of the year. Family, friends, food, football, holiday movies . . . I love it all.
I hope everyone has a good, safe holiday weekend filled with all the things that bring you joy and peace. I will be hanging out with Little Debbie and Kitty Boodle, eating way too many turkey sandwiches, putting up my holiday decorations, and watching lots of football and holiday rom-coms.
If anyone needs a book to read for the long holiday weekend, A Touch of Treachery, Section 47 book #3, and Only Rogue Actions, Galactic Bonds book #5, are both out now.
Also, my holiday signed book campaign is underway, and I am accepting pre-orders for the special edition of Only Bad Options.
Have fun and stay safe out there, especially if you are traveling during the long holiday weekend.
Happy reading and Happy Thanksgiving! ❤️
In this photo, I feel like Kitty Boodle is cracking her eyes open like “Do I need to wake up? Is Santa here yet?!” 🐈
I’m going to take a few weeks off from blogging for the holidays. I hope to be back here Monday, Jan. 5.
I hope everyone has a great holiday season filled with all the pets, people, places, and treats you love. Thank you for reading and the happiest of holidays to you all! ❤️

Some of you have seen this already, but here is the cover art for Only Rogue Actions. Woot! 😎
The art is by Tony Mauro, who has worked on many of my book covers over the years. I think the colors are so cool!
GET THE EBOOK:
Only Rogue Actions is book #5 in my Galactic Bonds science-fiction fantasy series, aka my “Pew! Pew! Pew!” series. In this book, Vesper and Kyrion are doing some training to learn more about their truebond and find themselves in another situation with only bad options.
Note that this is a shorter book — about 55,000 words — and it is basically an action-packed, standalone adventure for Vesper and Kyrion. Thank you for reading!

PRINT LINKS COMING SOON:
Only Rogue Actions will be available as a print book. The print links will probably go online late this summer, and I will share the print links as soon as they are available. Thanks for your patience!

A WOMAN WHO DREAMS OF THE FUTURE . . .
Once upon a time, I was Vesper Quill, a lowly lab rat using my seer magic and engineering skills to repair broken appliances at a Regal-owned corporation. These days, I’m one of the most infamous and wanted fugitives in the Archipelago Galaxy, along with Kyrion Caldaren, my partner.
Kyrion and I are hiding out on a distant planet when we are offered a chance to train at a prestigious facility in hopes of better understanding our truebond, the psionic connection that lets us share thoughts, feelings, skills, and more.
Mastering our magic is the only way we can hope to defeat our many enemies and make my dreams of a safe future a reality, so Kyrion and I accept the invitation. But evil forces are at work, and our training exercise is not what it seems, plunging us both into another deadly situation with only bad options.
A MAN WHO CAN’T ESCAPE HIS PAST . . .
I’ve always been Kyrion Caldaren, a Regal lord with telekinesis, telepathy, telempathy, and other powerful psionic abilities. I might have gone rogue from the Arrows, the Imperium’s elite warriors, but my fighting skills are as sharp and deadly as ever.
Vesper Quill and I need help with our truebond, so we agree to participate in a rigorous training exercise designed to test the depths of our connection. But a
new enemy has other plans, and we’re soon separated and confronted with one dangerous obstacle after another.
But my love for Vesper is stronger than any forces set against us, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make my way back to her—and kill anyone who gets in my way.
Note: Only Rogue Actions is a 55,000-word book.
