I went to Planet Comic Con and brought a cover mock up and copy to Jared Padalecki to give to his book loving with Gen. Their love story serves as very loose inspiration for my characters. He loved the cover and I shot my shot, they own a production company! #WIP #romance #BookSky #writingcommunity

It was great! I spent 20yrs in higher ed and went back so it felt like going home! My last job was stressful and it made it hard to write when my job was so draining.
