Today is the official cover reveal for Barefoot on the Beach, my upcoming women's fiction novel from HQ Digital. Renee Clarke is perfectly happy just the way she is… Renee may be thrilled to be planning her sister’s wedding, but after witnessing her mother’s two failed marriages, she has always vowed that she is better off on her own. But when Renee discovers that Luc Hardy has moved next door, her world is knocked off kilter. Luc was her whirlwind summer romance as a teen and, more importantly, her first love. Now he’s back in West Cove, looking more handsome than ever. There is no escaping the romance in the air this summer. With the wedding planning in full swing, Renee begins to believe that she might be able to put her childhood reservations about marriage aside. Yet when her mother arrives, she stirs a torrent of emotions in Renee’s heart. She’s up to her old tricks again – boasting about her latest conquests – reaffirming Renee’s lack of faith in love. As Renee’s happily-ever-after hangs in the balance, will Luc be able to convince her that true love can last forever? Pre-order Barefoot on the Beach  Liked this post? Pin it to your Pinterest Board!

Are you the type of writer who has ideas bombarding you all the time for different stories and you have no idea which to write next? Well this videos for you. Over the past few years I have been ghostwriting along with my regular contracted projects and it was always inevitable that I was in the middle of a project or a deadline and I had all these ideas for new books. At that time, I always had the urge to drop everything that I was doing and get started on that new and shiny project. This might not be your exact situation, but you may have many ideas for novels, or short stories, or any writing project, and you have no idea which to write next, I have some tips that have worked for me over the years when it finally came time to pick my new project and stick with it until the very end. Tip #1: Write down the ideasThis writing vlog is me getting back into the groove of work after the holidays...or trying.  Liked this post? Pin it to your Pinterest board!
Let's take a bookshelf tour and talk about what I'm reading for 2020. I'm also taking part in a book buying ban starting in the first quarter of the year. Eek! Have you done a "buying ban" before? The reason I wanted to do a bookshelf tour is that I've completely revamped my process of picking books, keeping books, and I have just found over the past few years that I just buy buy buy and not read read read. Sometimes my bookshelves can get a bit overwhelming for me, and since I'm trying to be good at decluttering my things, I wanted to share with you how I organize my bookshelves, and a special thing that I'm doing for 2020, which is a little bit scary to me. And that is...I'm not going to be buying books for the first quarter of the year. I am going to try diligently to save my money, because I have so many books that I already need to read, and I don't need to be buying any more until I can declutter all the ones that I don't want to keep on my shelves. Then I can feel refreshed to buy new again. I also need to get through my Kindle books. I actually received some for Christmas of 2018 that I still haven't read, so I definitely need to get to those, so I'm hoping to carry this throughout the year of 2020. Wish me luck! Let me know what is on your to-be-read shelves, or if you have reading goals for 2020. I'd love to talk about it with you. Also if you've ever done a buying ban before, let me know how you survived. I am excited to talk to you in the comments about books.  Liked this post? Pin it to your Pinterest board!
