Need an escape to fill that crusty, dusty creative well? Us too! Desperate to find your people—especially ones who understand the woes of the publishing industry? Same! That’s why the Romance Author Meet Cute is a three-day choose-your-own-adventure writing vacation. Think: low programming, optional activities, tons of writing time, plus unlimited ice cream. On this retreat, you will have 3 responsibilities: Write your face off. Make friends. Do absolutely zero chores (seriously, don’t even look at a dish unless it’s holding peanut butter cookies).

Big news!!! I’m thrilled to announce my books are now represented by Eva Scalzo of Speilburg Literary Agency. In fact, I am…DOUBLE agented! Eva will be taking charge of my romance and psychological suspense books and I continue to be represented by Naomi Davis of BookEnds Literary for my fantasy books. Eva signed me (in a record-breaking 2 days!) for my childhood friends-to-lovers romantic comedy, The Love Algorithm, wherein a sex therapist and a statistician team up to find each other’s true match and develop a dating app algorithm to predict lasting love. Fun fact! This isn’t Eva’s first time reading my work…she read and loved Breathe the Sky when it came out, and that’s why she recognized my name in her inbox and read my query right away! I’m absolutely thrilled to be repped by two such whip smart,...
