It feels surreal to finally say this, ARCs are officially out in the world! My inbox has been full of excitement, and I can’t wait to see what you all think as you dive into this story. 💜

Between writing, editing, grad school, and raising four kids, life has been… let’s just say “a lot.” So before the whirlwind of edits and deadlines sweeps me back up, I gave myself something I rarely do: a break.

I slipped away for a 24-hour solo getaway at a hotel, and it was exactly what I needed. I ordered room service, lounged in a lavender bubble bath, treated myself to masks and cozy self-care, and binge-watched a show with zero guilt. Just me, quiet, and a little reset before the storm.

That time away reminded me how important it is to recharge, especially when juggling writing, grad school papers, and the everyday chaos of motherhood. Now I feel refilled and ready to pour that energy back into the work.

✨ What’s Next: Editing for Enchanted starts Monday, and I’m diving in with fresh eyes and renewed determination. I’ll be sharing sneak peeks, updates, and little behind-the-scenes glimpses as we move closer to release. Cover reveal coming soon!

Thank you, as always, for being part of this journey. Whether you’re reading early as an ARC reviewer or waiting for launch day, your support means everything. 💜
