Catch-up Time

Hello my lovelies! I've been in the writing cave for a good while - now I emerge blinking like a mole. 

How are you doing? It's spring in NZ, so I'm tempted to head into the garden store and buy some colorful seedlings for the garden. Though of course, once I walk into a garden store, somehow my entire shopping cart gets full!

The Day I Met Oprah!

 

I'm still catching up on everything after my travels and it'll take me a while to go through my photos, but I thought I'd share this fun one I took at the Hollywood Wax Museum which we visited during a free day between events: Me, manifesting one of my books becoming an Oprah's Book Club pick in the future!! 

Have you ever been to a wax museum? (I have to say, this pic is quite good - I have a photo with Keanu Reeves too, though he was a bit stiff while taking photos...)

SteamyLit Con

 

My first SteamyLit Con was an absolute blast for so many reasons, but I feel that being surprised by themed Psy-Changeling shirts by this beautiful crew deserves its own post!  🐆 🐺 ✨

It’s a moment I will always remember. We are now all besties forever. 🤗💕 

A giant hug to every single reader who came to see me - you seriously made my con with your joy and love and excitement! 🥹 

Another huge hug to author and industry friends old and new - I *heart* you. 

And a great big thanks to Mel, Cookie, and the entire team at SteamyLit Con including the amazing volunteers! You put on a brilliant con! 

I didn’t take many photos so another big thanks to everyone who has tagged me in photos. 💛
