Uhh, so if you didn’t already know by now, sometimes the ADHD strikes hard. I’ve been blathering on about James recording Flipping the Switch but, uh, that is in fact not the next book in the series! Kim finally pointed out that Made to Order comes next. Not sure how I forgot about my subby Army vet and his bossy chef, but well, somehow I managed it. It was no big deal. I hadn’t sent the files to James yet but it meant I needed to make a very quick pivot to get everything re

Happy Pride, friends! Whether you're celebrating as a member of the queer community or are an ally supporting those of us who are LGBTQ+, I just want you to know that I love and appreciate you all! This year I’m celebrating by offering all of the Pride gear on the shop for  26% off. Whether you want an Evanston River Otters T-shirt to wear at home, Pride pucks to decorate your bookshelf, or a Toronto Fisher Cats water bottle to keep you hydrated at Pride, it's all on sale. Sh

The weather went full-on summer in the past week, and I went for a lovely (if ridiculously hot and humid) hike on Sunday. I got to enjoy nature (including seeing a relatively rare bird for this area –a pileated woodpecker!) and hang out with a friend I haven’t seen in months. We grabbed lunch and watched a movie after and it was a really nice way to spend the day. My Baby Pens are still doing very well in the Calder Cup playoffs so I’m having fun watching the newish prospec

Great news! The Baby Penguins are still in the playoffs, and I’ve had a very productive week! I stopped by the thrift store and bought a little metal organizer for under my bathroom sink. This led to a full sink re-organize (and required buying several more organizers at another store) but after years of it annoying me, now it looks and functions exactly like I hoped and I couldn’t be happier with it. On Wednesday, I had a meeting with my web designer, Pippa, about some si

I know how expensive everything is right now and there are always lovely, shiny new things in the book world to buy. I always try my best to make everything on my Shop as affordable as possible. Since Amazon tends to bang up our books a lot when they ship, when faced with a stack of books with creases, scuffs, and dings, Kim had the brilliant idea of creating Brigham’s Bargain Bin where we offer books with relatively minor damage at a 25% discount. This is great news if you’r

Thank you so much for the love on the special edition covers for the Rules of the Game and #Relationship Goals series. I will pass the love along to Colleen who is currently hard at work on the illustrations for the Scoring Chances guys. Several of you asked if I will be doing illustrated editions for those and the answer is yes! I don’t have an exact timeline on that yet but she’s currently working on the Slew Foot guys. I will also be working on Harriers’ merch for

Thank you to everyone who’s sent supportive messages about me closing my shop last Friday to stand in solidarity with Minneapolis. I suspect it’s something I will need to do again in the future, and I will keep you updated about when that happens. In the meantime, I’m still in Albuquerque. My bestie and I went for a snowy hike in the Sandia Mountains and drove up to Santa Fe to go thrift/consignment store shopping with a friend of ours. We also went for a hike in the Jeme

Thank you! It has been a wild and wonderful week since I released Delayed Penalty . I am blown away by how much you love Thad & Graham’s story. I’ll talk more about that below but first I want to talk about what I’ve been up to lately. I managed to sneak in a little holiday cheer when I went to see a production of A Christmas Carol and took a day off to do holiday shopping with my parents. They’re both annual traditions and a lot of fun. It really makes me feel like the

It’s my birthday! And my twelve-year publishing anniversary! And the one-year anniversary of my shop being open! Wait, what? Yes. For some reason I am determined to cram all of my milestones into a single week. That’s good news for you though because it means that you get a week of sales! From December 16-23, you can get 20% off ALL the items in my shop. That includes merch, character art, ebooks, audiobooks, bundles (which are already 20% off) … The sky’s the limit! So if y

We’re gonna keep this one short and sweet because I know you want to get your hands on Delayed Penalty ! Check out yesterday’s post to learn all of the details. Want to know what else I’ve been working on? Writing: I am making great progress on Cheap Shot ! We hit a nice little turning point for the boys and although they’re a looong way from love, it’s coming together really well. Audio: James has finished recording Date in a Pinch . I am almost caught up on chapte

I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving, if you celebrated. Mine was just my parents and I, but we did the full Thanksgiving spread. We also did our annual family doughnut party on Sunday with the extended family. I got to see two of my cousins and their families and my parents are continuing the traditions my mom’s parents started, which is really fun. It was great to catch up and the kids (many of whom are in college/graduating now!) have fun helping my dad fry the doughnut

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,
