Book 4 TITLE REVEAL! 🎉

Heyyyyyy folks!

Shit is getting REAL over here. This draft is looking rather thiccccc lately, and I realized it was high time I shared a bit more with y'all since I'm approaching the home stretch. "The end" is in sight, so to speak.

I've hit the 83k+ word mark and still going strong. And by "strong" I mean low-key losing my mind and being high-key obsessed with this story, these characters, Gus' mustache, YOU GET IT. It's just the way of things at this stage.

So... here's your first look at the title of book 4!

*PLEASE DON'T SHARE UNTIL WEDNESDAY JUNE 24TH when I'll post the reveal on socials!*

The mystery is finally over! Book 4's title is Proud Mary!

So, obviously, the title gives away the FMC's name: Mary!

💖 Mary and Gus 💖

Or Gus and Mary. Their cute couple name is either "Mus" or "Gary", so we're gonna have to workshop that 😅

And yes they sound like octogenarians, but don't worry, they know, and they will make fun of themselves for that. (That's an HB guarantee!)

I am so excited to finally be able to use this title more openly (calling it 'book 4' has been such a drag)! I'll get the Amazon listing updated in the next couple of days, but did you know you can already pre-order PROUD MARY!?

⬇️ TRUE STORY BRO. ⬇️

Pre-orders are a huge way to help indie authors like me (if you can swing it) and I would be so delighted if you could show your love this way! And if $ support isn't possible, don't worry, because I still deeply appreciate everything you do to spread the word about my books and hype me up to your romance-loving pals!

THANK YOU!!!!

Highly specific beta readers needed!

To make sure Proud Mary is the best story it can be, I'm looking for subject matter experts who can provide feedback on the technical aspects of being a firefighter and/or a tattoo artist. So reply back or send me a DM if that might be you or someone you can connect me with! And feel free to share my Thread calling for these specific beta readers if you need something easy and shareable.

Okay!! Onto some book recs...

She walked away from LA fame and a fiancé who nearly destroyed her.

After years in California building a career on a hit reality TV show, Wren Drummond returns to her hometown of Silo Bay—the place she once swore she’d never return. Craving stability after a life that nearly broke her, she hopes being home might help her finally heal.

What she doesn’t expect is to run straight into the boy from her childhood, the one she once loved.

Jett Riggsby left the girl he loved to join the military, determined to outrun his reckless past. Now home after years of deployments, he’s trying to rebuild his life while running his family’s cattle farm.

When fate throws them back together, the pull between them proves impossible to ignore. Beneath old wounds and unspoken truths lies a love neither of them ever truly left behind.

Loving him once broke her heart.

Friday Night Lights meets Yellowstone in this scorching new romance series about a fictional small town in East Texas and a lawless family of ranchers who are hellbent on pushing back against the people who fear them.

Layla Hayes never wanted love. With eyes full of stars, she’s always dreamt of leaving Saddlebrook Falls in the dust, determined to escape her small town and the “traditional” future her mother has planned for her. But then she falls for her town’s golden boy—the older, gorgeous starting quarterback, Jason Moore—and her dreams of living life for herself begin to disappear like smoke. Still, despite planning her forever with Jason, she’s intent on chasing her own dreams and heads to NYU for college.

When a devastating loss forces her to return to her hometown, Layla must reconsider everything she thought she knew about herself. It doesn’t take long for her to realize the future she craves may have been right in front of her all along.
