Hi Reader! I've been a speaker in many summits and conferences over the past few years. And the thing I've learned most from those events is that community is powerful.

And I want to bring the community of Romancelandia together to celebrate our shared love of the romantic fiction genre. So created a very special 4-day virtual event, just for us.

Hi Reader! I am a big Ansel Adams fan. π· There is something about the way he captured emotion in his photographs that just β¨ lights me up.

Sometimes the story we're trying to tell is not the one that comes out on...

Looking at that video now is fun. I think about how well it turned out, how comical my arm-waving looks. But then I remember my mindset in the moment, when the tour guide told us...

Hi Reader! Have you ever read a book you just cannot stop thinking about? Well that's me right now with A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. Let's take a moment here to chat about a little quirk of mine that gets me into so much trouble. I am STUBBORN. You can pretty much rely on me to do the opposite of what: someone tells me to do, someone thinks I should do, or everyone else is obsessing over. For the most part, I'm pretty happy with the way this works out for me. π€·βοΈ But...
