October Goals

October Goals

I always see October as the last relaxing month before the holiday crazy hits. November is anniversary month, numerous family birthdays, Thanksgiving—not to mention my sister’s due date. December is more birthday and Christmas and then bam. We’re in a new year. Some might think it’s the perfect time to lay low and relax, but what’s the fun in that? This… Read More

September Goals | August Wrap-Up

September Goals | August Wrap-Up

Well, hello again. It’s been a quick minute. Between school starting, sickness, and multiple deaths, August kicked my rear. We’re back at it with a new month (and new year for me! Hello, 31!). For what was dished out, I’m actually fairly happy with what was accomplished in August. August Wrap-up Finish ATLYCK edits. I’m finishing up the last details as we… Read More

July Goals

I know. I know. It’s almost the middle of the month and I’m just getting to my July goals. Honestly? I feel like the month is just getting started. Between the “new normal” of June, family vacations, VBS, and visiting family, life is just slowing down long enough for me to finally breathe! So there aren’t many, but here are… Read More

February Goals

February Goals

I love setting goals. I’m also really good at major failing at my goals. I think it’s mostly because I set lofty goals, and then don’t plan to succeed.  I also think it’s because I decide on to many goals for one set period. I mean come on. In a perfect world I can read 10 books a month, but… Read More

KrummRuns: 6

Guys, I feel like I hit my stride with this run. It wasn’t my greatest run or my fastest run, but I came out of this run feeling good—really good. First of all, I was proud of myself for even getting out of the car. It was 32 degrees and dropping like every few minutes. I, not being the one… Read More

I was up to my ears with rejections for my YA dyst I was up to my ears with rejections for my YA dystopian and ready to throw in the towel. My best friend suggested I try writing YA rom com (remember that @neysawalker ?) … which was laughable (since I liked killing characters not having the happily ever after.) But what she said stuck and I eventually started thinking about this girl named Murphy who watched her crush slip and fall at the airport leading to him being in coma, her being mistaken for his girlfriend, and then meeting his best friend and actually falling in love … 

Get It Happened at Christmas wherever you purchase your books (or request from the library!!)
It Happened at Christmas is my nod to my favorite It Happened at Christmas is my nod to my favorite 90s rom com While You Were Sleeping — but making it YA! 

What happens when your crush is in coma, and you get mistaken for his girlfriend, but then his best friend arrives on scene (with a swoon accent) and then you find yourself falling for him? 

This one is a lot of fun! It’s available wherever you buy books (or you can request from your library!)
