Yay, another new chapter is up for my contemporary YA best friends book WHEN WE WERE WILDFLOWERS.

Find out what she did wrong this time.

I can't give enough praise to this new adult novel by @UnbalancedMom333 which was a 2023 Watty's Award winner. The story was relatable and really captured the struggle of leaving home for college, discovering your authentic self, and the intensity of falling in love for the first time.

Yay... finally! A new chapter is up in my contemporary YA best friends novel WHEN WE WERE WILDFLOWERS. Sorry for the delay, life in general and motherhood has been keeping me busy, not to mention reading some great novels here on Wattpad. Please check out Chapter 28 - Bucket List where Violet and Poppy get the bright idea to make a list of important teenage milestones to experience before the big move.

Quick shoutout to @Pollyf79. I just finished her romantic comedy NO RESERVATIONS and it was such a delightful read with funny, relatable characters, plenty of great 90s flashbacks, and a satisfying love story with some spice.  Thank you so much for this entertaining tale spanning multiple decades. Definitely recommend it to anyone who loves a quick-paced romance with a sense of humor.

Writer friends, in case you haven’t heard, Canva.com has a new AI image generator tool you can use for free. I tried it out to generate new illustrations for the cover of my Wattpad novels. I updated the covers to try to freshen things up and possibly attract new readers. Not sure if I’ll stick to the new look, but it was fun to create!

Cool! I’ve been enjoying using Bing, but I’ll definitely try Canva since I already have that.
