monthly recap

Dear Meta, New Pen Name, Covers, Pictures from France… a monthly recap.

It’s been about a month since my last blog post. Hi! Wishing you all the words or time to think about your words, books that make you feel and warmth. Here’s a (non-exhaustive) recap from the last 30 days…


This past month, I spent a lot of my time (really, a LOT of my time) exchanging emails with Meta about my restricted Facebook Ads account. (your guess is as good as mine). My Facebook Ads account is now disabled. Read more about it in my Substack post, Dear Meta, It’s Not Me, It’s You…


I now have 456 subscribers on my YouTube channel!


I shared voice memos (and more) about my writing process on my FREE Patreon. If you’d like to listen to them and get early access and random musings and a CHAT (with a pickle), make sure you join…

Writing is also 3am voice memos to myself…

I spent a bit less than two weeks in France–spending time with my family and enjoying walks and moments around the area where I grew up.


Pictures from the plane… and the airport in Iceland…


The Chemical Engineer and I celebrated our engagement anniversary on St. Patrick’s Day 🙂


For years, I’ve been thinking about splitting my Elodie Nowodazkij fiction in two. And it’s time. Read more about it in Two Heat Levels, One Author Brain (And A Little Bit of Hopefully Organized Chaos) here.


For book club, I read Heartless and couldn’t put it down… so I read Rebel Witch right after…. Love, love, love that duet! Have you read it?

Also Kristen called Heartless Hunter her fuck-it book… and I’m going to share more about my Fuck-It book aka Nice Guys… very soon.


My newsletters this month (in case you missed them :-)) – the latest one had a question about your favorite cover (and an exclusive access to the first 1.5 part of Nice Guys…)

The covers I’m looking at …for Nice Guys Don’t Kiss Like That At Christmas (and more)

(also it’s already up for pre-order)

Comments put a smile on my face :-)
