With a new year, and my committed nerve to you all, I thought maybe I should share some of my motivational music, in a confidence reminder sort of play list. After all, isn't most motivation restarted in January? Sometimes being courageous starts with giving yourself permission. That everything is going to be OK. Nerve can … Continue reading Courageous Music Monday

A Fiction Friday, That You Meant At Midnight…
Today's Fiction Friday is about the things you meant at midnight on new years, but that maybe didn't last. Like breaking your resolution in the first week or not surviving the first month. You meant to, you wanted to make it work, but it just... didn't work out the way you planned and hoped for. … Continue reading A Fiction Friday, That You Meant At Midnight…
New Year, New Nerve
Hello dear reader. For this Thoughtful Thursday, I feel it's only right to share my commitment to another year with you. 2025 I committed to coming back, to coming out of the bad life changing years and finding my way back to myself and my joy of writing. 2026 is the year you guys will … Continue reading New Year, New Nerve
A New Year For Music Mondays
This is the last Music Monday of 2025, so of course we're treating new years like it's another week long party. But it's also a chance to tell the hopeful story of the next year too, because I like writing slow burn romances and they take a minute to get from meet cute to mine. … Continue reading A New Year For Music Mondays
Winter Wonders On Christmas Eve
I am spending today with my family, the real one outside the writing world, but I still think about the bar world. So, here's some versions of what the Red Letters crew is getting to unwrap between today and tomorrow. Woods gets a guitar pick, personalized for his brand/band. Frost gets a giant mug for … Continue reading Winter Wonders On Christmas Eve

Today, I have that family holiday playlist for those enjoying the idea that found family can be a gift wrapped with care shortly before the new year. The lyrics hit the … Continue reading Seasonal Music Monday
Snowy Soulful Friday Fiction
Sometimes the holiday season isn't the most important part. The weather alone can set a scene, make a mood, force a conversation or a containment. One bed and one room forces it more, but a good snowy night and your favorite bar setting? Can make it something worth keeping... The tangible gift is just a … Continue reading Snowy Soulful Friday Fiction
Silly Music Monday
I know my last posts talk about Hallmark magic and white knight kinda guys, but today? I haven't forgotten the ones who prefer a guy that makes them laugh more than those slow burn steamy types. I mean, if you've been reading here long enough, you've seen Deej, right? If Deej and his jump inside … Continue reading Silly Music Monday
A Red Letters, White Knights Mood
Today's mood board gives some shapes to our week theme of those Red Letters White Knights. Because there is always going to be a type of person you gravitate towards when you need someone. For instance, if you are a bold type, you might set your sights on Sly or Remmy. Both are more studied … Continue reading A Red Letters, White Knights Mood
Knights Of Tender Tuesday
Today I got to thinking about what a tender version of the white knight trope might be. Not some "I'll save you from yourself so you don't have to think" damsel in distress story. No. But... how can someone still have the ability to "save" someone without taking their autonomy? My answer? Holding space. It's … Continue reading Knights Of Tender Tuesday
