I went up to New York and Connecticut for a writing retreat and to visit family. While there, I finalized Flirting with Fame . My rescue mutt, Zeus, road tripped it with me and he got to see snow for the first time. He was super apprehensive at first, but then he got the zoomies in full force. One of the highlights was getting to spend time with my best friend, who I hadn't seen in far too long.

When I first started writing romance, I was intimidated by the idea of penning steamy sex scenes. I *almost* decided to be a fade-to-black author 😲 but I knew that the stories I wanted to write needed sex. Despite being terrified by the idea, I put my fingers to the keyboard and pushed myself to get the words out. Best. Decision. Ever. Here's why: I was raised in a conservative family. The only "sex talk" I got from my mother happened when I started dating my first boyfriend. All she said was, "Don't kiss him with your mouth open." Yeah...it was too late for that because he'd already kissed me. And my mouth was open. And I hadn't been struck down on the spot because of it... So, how did that translate as I got older? I was ashamed of my sexual side. That isn't to say that I wasn't sexually active, but I never talked about it with anyone. Sometimes, that even included my partner; I wouldn't communicate what I liked/disliked/wanted to try/etc... Not exactly healthy. I'd been labeled as a "little bit of a prude" by more than one person, which I knew was not who I authentically was (I am a Scorpio after all 😉), but the shame had kept me from arguing.
