I'm restocking my inventory of books in preparation for my upcoming festivals and fairs! It made me wonder how other authors store all their books. I only have 5 published so far and there's already so many!

I made a rookie mistake and messed up the links for the bonus scenes for my forbidden love romance, 9 Lives in Florence. You can find them and the rest of my bonus scenes here:

Everyone thinks Tobias is a grump, but he actually has social anxiety. But being the center of his new yoga instructor Chase's attention is a whole different story!

Ok yeah maybe I wrote a super spicy scene in my mm romance involving a yoga headstand, but at least it's not drugs, right? My ancestors will totally forgive me.

Controversial hot take: I don't need another alpha MC in a romance, I want one who takes their mental health seriously and isn't afraid of emotions. Check out the Gym Rat Pack series if you feel the same way!
