A little too Raph...

If you don't get the reference in the title of this post, you probably didn't grow up in the 1990's. Ha!

Basically, I've been quiet lately. There's no really good reason for this. I've been busy but then, what else is new? I'm always busy. ;-)

I haven't been writing much lately but I have been reading a ton and plotting and planning for the short story I'm writing. It's keeping me occupied and I'm feeling pretty good about writing in general these days.

I thought I'd drop a quick post about one of my recent favorite books that I've read.


Strong Signal by Megan Erickson and Santino Hassell.

OMG. It's truly amazing. I highly recommend that anyone who loves a good romance go out right now and buy this book. Its so fucking cute. Also, hooooooooot! *fans self to prevent spontaneous combustion*

This is a super cute, super sexy story about two men who find love online (and then in person) while playing an online video game.

Check the blurb --> "I was counting down the months until the end of my deployment. My days were spent working on military vehicles, and I spent my nights playing video games that would distract me until I could leave Staff Sergeant Garrett Reid behind.

That was when I met him: Kai Bannon, a fellow gamer with a famous stream channel.

I never expected to become fixated on someone who'd initially been a rival. And I'd never expected someone who oozed charm to notice me—a guy known for his brutal honesty and scowl. I hadn't planned for our online friendship to turn into something that kept me up at night—hours of chatting evolving into filthy webcam sessions.

But it did. And now I can't stop thinking about him. In my mind, our real life meeting is perfect. We kiss, we fall into bed, and it's love at first sight.

Except, like most things in my life, it doesn't go as planned."


I read this entire book in one afternoon. I couldn't put it down. On a scale from 1 to 10, I'd give it a solid 29847928734918734!!!

I'm looking forward to the second book in the Cyberlove series. Can. Not. Wait.

RT Booklovers Convention 2016


Soooo, I've been back from Las Vegas long enough to get caught up on my sleep and process the awesomeness that was my week at the RT Booklovers Convention.

You guys. You. Guys. It. Was. AMAZING!

I had such a great time hanging with my good friend Cari Z, meeting new people, attending workshops, going to parties, snagging free books, and alllllll the swag!

I came home with a ton of amazing memories and over 25 free books and ebooks! Next year the convention will be held in Atlanta and I am SO there!

Some other time I will go into detail about my time at RT but for now, please enjoy these lovely photos!
