This past week has been a whirlwind packing for my trip to Albuquerque. I always kinda forget how much work it is to pack for a trip where I’ll be gone for a MONTH. Thankfully, since I’m staying with friends that whole time, I can do laundry. But when I’ll be hiking, going to a goth ball, sightseeing, and working, I have to prepare for everything!   Wish me luck.   I use an airline miles credit card for pretty much everything, then pay it off every month, so I accumulate mil

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I first released Goaltender Interference ! Connor and Jesse were such a joy to write, and I really love this Boston team.    Although I didn’t plan it purposely, their book release landed in the same week as Kiss a Ginger Day.   Jesse enthusiastically kisses a ginger every day, so he’s a huge fan of the celebration.   I had originally planned to just write up a little post about it and tell you about how much I enjoy these two and

It’s been quite a week! I went to not one, but TWO hockey games on Saturday. I took my parents to a noon game in Detroit to cheer on the Pittsburgh Penguins when they beat Detroit, then met up with a friend who had free tickets to a 7pm University of Michigan game where they beat the USNTDP (national development program) team. If you want to see my adventures, check out my pics on Instagram . I am also preparing for my annual trip to Albuquerque to visit my bestie and her fam

It’s difficult to wrap up a year like this one.   It was a struggle most of the way through for me in so many ways. Losing my friend Helena at the end of last year, losing my aunt, losing a friend … I carried a lot of grief with me.    The state of the world in general and of the United States in particular caused an enormous amount of stress.   And yet, there were bright spots.    Running the shop in addition to my writing was challenging but fun overall. I had a few misstep

If you celebrated one of the many winter holidays, I hope you had a wonderful, relaxing time! If you’re looking to escape the madness of the season with a book, keep reading for some great promos!   I went to see the Saginaw Spirit hockey game with a friend last weekend. We had a BLAST. As the friend I went with described it, it was a “fast, sloppy, and dirty” game. She wasn’t wrong. At one point, there were three players in each penalty box …   They also did a teddy bear tos

We’re gonna keep this one short and sweet because I know you want to get your hands on Delayed Penalty !

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 .

Graham swallowed hard as he stared at the lens and hoped that on the other side of it, Thad couldn't see what he was feeling inside. Couldn't see how much he wanted him.

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

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

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. L

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

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
