It’s been a bit of a wild week for me. Lots of things going sideways on me as I try to prepare for the holiday craziness ahead. I’m trying to take lots of deep breaths and just deal with everything as it comes but YIKES. I also have jury duty December 1-19 (which includes my birthday on the 18 th 😿). While I would normally be more than willing to participate, this is the WORST possible timing. I’m crossing my fingers I don’t get picked and if you can send a few good vibes,

Things are humming along around here. I took a couple of days off writing to focus on some admin work that’s been lingering on my To Do list. It feels so good to get that all checked off. I also finished my heirloom pumpkin puzzle and started a woodland wildlife one. I really enjoyed watching the Global Series in Stockholm Sweden last weekend. The Pittsburgh Penguins played the Nashville Predators twice there and it was really fun to see the behind the scenes social media con

Dear Diary,  Graham Pennington is something else.   Don’t get me wrong, he’s hot. In the rich, frat boy kinda way that would have gotten him either laughed out of prison or made him very popular with certain guys.   I knew who he was of course. Top line winger. Golden boy.   The kind of franchise building player who Gavin’s always salivating over.   Squeaky-clean too. The dude’s probably never smoked weed or gotten so much as a speeding ticket.   He’s a decent guy though, I’

Graham couldn't seem to move, to breathe, to push Thad away. All he could do was stare at his face as the laughter faded from it and turned into something sharper. Hungrier ...

Hope you’re having a good week. Mine has been a little chaotic (really feeling that Mercury in Retrograde energy right now …) but I’ve gotten a lot done.   I bought and assembled a comfy new desk chair because my previous one was getting so old. The cushion was losing its supportiveness and the latch that lets me lean back in it/lock it upright went on the fritz.  I figured it was time to get something more comfortable.    My humidifier and my garment steamer both died too.

It’s been a whirlwind of a week.   My knee is feeling GREAT. The lingering stiffness when I kneel is gone and I’m back to my usual walking sprints on the treadmill.   Finishing the first draft of Delayed Penalty gave me a burst of energy and I checked off some tasks that have been lingering on my list, including shipping out something I’d promised to send to a friend … oh, a year and a half ago?   If you wondered why Kim has taken over shipping signed books … uh, this is it,

Happy Halloween!  I can’t believe October is almost over.   This week my focus has been almost entirely on wrapping up Delayed Penalty  and watching hockey.  There was a really wild Penguins vs. Flyers game the other night where I learned two new rules that I didn’t even know existed! That’s always fun.   Somehow, my Penguins are 2 nd  in the entire league, despite the fact that we have several ancient players (in hockey years) along with some baby prospects, and no one thoug

Dear Diary,  I met a guy today.   That sounds so stupid. I say that like I don’t meet new people all the time. That’s kinda part of the deal being a pro hockey player, you know?  But this guy is different.   For one, he’s the twin brother of my GM. Wild, because I didn’t even know Gavin HAD a twin until Thad showed up. Also, because he just got hired by the Harriers about a month ago.   I guess technically we “officially” met shortly after he was hired. Tyson, the PR director

I am finally settling back into my routine, and it has been such a relief.   My knee is allllmost there and things like doing my morning interval walks on the treadmill and squatting/stretching are almost back to normal. I’m still taking it a little easy but it feels so good to not be limited in what I can do.   It’s been cool and rainy here too, which means I am very  happy. Hooray for real autumn weather! I’m back to wearing cozy sweaters, burning my apple-scented candles,

I am SO excited to share the Delayed Penalty  cover and blurb with you today.  Since I’d put Gavin on the cover of Body Check, I knew I wanted Thad on the front of Delayed Penalty .   Christopher’s photo was perfect, and I am totally loving  the backwards hat, smirky vibes of the model …  Series: Scoring Chances  Title: Delayed Penalty  Book #: 4  Couple: Thad Racine & Graham Pennington  Team: The Boston Harriers  Release Date: December 12, 2025  Cover Model Photographer:  Ch

My parents are back from vacation which means that I am FINALLY back to my normal schedule. It’s a good thing too because I was about to have a fucking meltdown.   Last weekend, I attended Artoberfest in Ann Arbor. The city holds a HUGE art fair in the summer and while it’s amazing, I find it really overwhelming. Parking is a nightmare, there are over 1,000 artists there, and the weather is always beastly hot in mid-July. No thank you.  I think the A2 Artoberfest may be new-i
