Thinking of Zoe (Bridge Point Romance, Book 3) is finished! It’s around 38-39K, so it’s the longest so far in the series. And... it leads into book four, Something about Bailey! Yes, Jackson and Bailey are back! The couple that started it all!

*Disclaimer * A special episode for Juneteenth!

Christmas Therapy comes out next month! I’m working on the paperback now, so pre-order if you haven’t already. In this episode, I also include some songs from my playlist. Not your typical playlist, but I believe music is universal. As we build the bridge, let’s find out what we have in common. Deal?

*Disclaimer* (another special episode). One of my favorite lines in the movie Black Panther is when Angela Bassett yells to her son in his first official battle for the throne, “tell him who you are!” I love that line. When he says who he is, he wins the battle. He remembered. These past few weeks have been tough, but as part of building a bridge, I’ll tell you who I am. We may have more in common than you think.

*Disclaimer: This is a special thank you to you all for being supportive during this time as we watch what’s happening in our country and around the world.

We’ve all heard of pre-orders, but what about a presale? Smashwords has launched its presale features that allows readers not only to reserve their copy, but they can read it prior to the release day! How am I working with this new feature? Have a listen!

I saw a post from last month on ProWritingAid’s blog that I thought I’d share. Having trouble finishing a manuscript? I have. Have a listen for some tips to help you finish your book. prowritingaid.com is mentioned in this episode.

Thinking of Zoe is still going! I’ve yet to write the second plot point, but I’m excited as I build to the climax. Also, I have another announcement but I won’t share until later. Tune in for more.

I’ve written over 25K for camp! The thing is... I’m not finished with the story as I thought I would. Listen in to hear my progress.
