UPDATES
WHEW! August flew by. It started off with the release of Lost Within Me which was the best release I've had. I came a breath away from the top 100 in the medical romance genre on the zon. And I'm happy to say, Lost Within Me has received all 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 reviews.
LOST WITHIN ME
He's not the man he used to be, but he never was the man everyone believed he was.
Having done time for a crime he didn’t commit, and experiencing a falling out with his family over an accident that nearly took his brother’s life, Rowdy McCall made the hardest decision of his life—leave his hometown and the love of his life behind.
Now a successful entrepreneur, Rowdy returns with a plan to help his brother heal and repair the rift in his family. But after ten years, the last thing he expects to find is Lyla Andrews waiting for him.
Could he finally have everything he dreamed of?
Or will his demons be too much of a burden to bear?
In the midst of that I had two book signings that were fabulous

PRE-ORDER SPOTLIGHT
The Wages of Silence
by Erin Fitzgerald
9/16
She vanished without a word for decades. this time, it might cost her life.
Hannah Holt was the girl of my dreams, the love of my life-until she walked away without warning, leaving our infant daughter behind. Thirty years later, she's a Hollywood icon, beloved by millions...and a stranger to me.
I built a life in the military, forging a path I thought would give us a future. Instead, it seemed to be something that drove a wedge between us. Now, on my fiftieth birthday, she's back- haunted, elusive, and still holding onto secrets.
She says her past silence wasn't abandonment, it was protection. She can't say more, not until she gathers enough evidence for a court-martial. Then, just as suddenly as she returned, Hannah vanishes again.
Only this time, she can't be found.
Her agent is panicked. Her closest friend hasn't heard from her. Her parents have no details. And the more I dig, the more it looks like Hannah was never running from me, but from something darker. Something that still wants her silence.
I have the training, the contacts, and the determination to find her. Now I need the truth- before the woman I've never stopped loving disappears for good.

NEW AUTHOR
Meet Michelle Mann. We were table neighbors at the Lubbock Book Festival. Michelle just released her first book Everything Good that Happened and she's already working on the sequel.
A little about Michelle
I'm from Lubbock. My husband and I have been married 27 years. We have three kids, a bird, and a spoiled dachshund.
Parts of Everything Good that Happened was inspired by some of my own experiences and interests. I've always wanted to write a book and when my husband randomly said "why don't you write your book, I was at Walmart thirty minutes later buying a new computer and started that day.
EVERYTHING GOOD THAT HAPPENED
A sweet, small-town romance with friends to lovers and heartwarming second chances, Everything Good that Happened amps up the drama while providing cozy, feel good vibes.
Sydney has had a streak of bad luck, and she blames herself for everything that has happened. Recently divorced and looking forward to a fresh start with her two young children, she has absolutely zero intentions of entering the dating world anytime soon, especially with the uncertainty of her ex's whereabouts and intentions looming over her. Men in general? Totally over them.
Fate intervenes when Sydney's cousin drags her to a bar for a night out, and they meet Will, the devilishly charming DJ. Will has had his own misfortune, and he just goes with the flow, unmotivated to change his life for the better... until Sydney unintentionally wiggles her way into his heart. As for Sydney, her determination to avoid romance at all costs, slowly crumbles as Will's easy-going nature gives her a new change in perspective.
In a whirlwind of yearning hearts, family drama, and a rescue bull, Sydney and Will try to keep things platonic, but they're only one stolen kiss away from falling for each other completely.
This heartwarming love story follows Sydney, an insecure woman overcoming a bad marriage, and Will, an almost too good to be true all-around good guy, in their gradual emotional journey as Will brings out the best in Sydney and makes her wonder if she should rethink her strategy of staying away from men.
