I can tell I've gotten to the point in my WIP where I hate it lol. I cut the grass, mulched leaves, planted plants that have been waiting since June, & powerwashed the garage so I can paint it.
Oh, and I'm also considering writing a children's book about Bo and his emotional support football 😁
The cover of the spicy historical romance "Waiting for a Scot Like You" by Eva Leigh. The cover shows a jacked Scottish man with most of his shirt off as he grips the back of the neck of a woman with streaks of gray in her hair. She's wearing a pink dress, and the couple is standing a distance from a manor house at sunset.

lol history for the win!
Thanks! I just remember being thrilled and relieved that it actually published properly--it was my first book, and I self-published, so I expected bumps lol. There weren't any big ones!
Happy birthday to Save the Last Dance for Me, published on its own (it was previously part of an anthology) on this day in 2015 (ten years ago!). This is the book that kicked off my career as a published author 🎉🎉🎉
