    New year, same old resolutions …

    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:

    • Work less and spend more time with family/friends
    • Read more books for fun and/or read at least 50 books this year
    • Eat healthier/exercise more
    • Try new things/mark things off my bucket list (this includes everything from trying new restaurants, to taking day trips to places I’ve never been before, to going on longer trips to places I’ve never been before)

    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?

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    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! ❤️

  • Happy holiday!

    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! ❤️
