Hearts on Fire Feel the burn Nov 4 She believed she was unworthy of love. He believed he was unworthy of her. But sometimes beliefs are based on lies. And deception is a cold, unforgiving bitch. So what happens when the web inevitably unravels and those who wove it are exposed for their selfish cruelty? The pain that once simmered becomes a raging inferno, allowing the love that always existed to burn it all down. Burning Down the Roof - Pocket Lumen

I had such big plans for editing this weekend but my full body migraine took me in another direction. I can barely move. What a fucking waste of a day. #indieauthorlife #ratherbewriting #migraine #migrainelife #saturdayplans

This isn’t where I wanna be Thursday. Don’t get me wrong: I’m happy, and lucky to have a day job. But I want so badly to be writing right now. My characters have been nagging at me constantly. Sigh. Such is the life of an indie author. #indieauthorlife #voicesinmyhead #ratherbewriting #Thursdaythoughts #workworkwork

It’s official: Edits have begun! Am I a bad book mom? My second book baby won’t enter the world until Nov 4 and I’m already starting to prepare her sister. 😏 Love Will Rise Again Coming 2027

What can I say? I made it through another Monday. Yep. I did it, baby!!! 😎

What helps my migraine? Puppies, coffee, and comedy tv are in my top five go-tos. It’s a shame I can’t mention the other two… 😏

My final version of Hearts on Fire just arrived and I’m in love! Feel the burn Nov 4 🔥

Tender Tuesday: Princess Saffron is a snuggle whore and isn’t afraid to admit it. So’s her mom. 😁💜 #tendertuesday #hugafriend #lovemypups #dogmom #hugglesnuggle

Warrior Wednesday: There’s nothing wrong with going it alone. And you should be proud of what you accomplish while you’re on that path. Sometimes it’s nice to share the load, though. Then you’ve got someone else to throw under the bus when it all goes to shit. 😄

Thank you for the kind messages regarding my dad. Lots of tests going on, and I live a few hours away, so I don’t have a lot to go on except that the stubborn ass is still fighting. That’s a win for now. 💜

I just got the call that my dad was rushed to the hospital this morning. The lung cancer pneumonia almost took him two years ago. He was literally a plug pull away. Now, it feels like Déjà vu while we wait for the doctors to do their thing. 🤞🤞🤞 …and for him to either fight again or fly to join my mama whose deathaversary was last week.

Frisky Friday Each day is a gift, even if it’s sometimes a sucky one. Let your inner crazy come out once in a while so you can keep smiling despite your brutal disappointment. That way, when the awesome gifts come around, you’ll appreciate the rare but legitimate euphoria so much more. 😊 Then again, sometimes it’s fun to just let loose for no reason, unleash your inner cuckoo, and keep everyone guessing. 🤪 P.S. found this crazy little guy at the antique mall. Should’ve taken him home. If he’s still there next time, he’s mine. 👍
