New historical romance release
Hi, everyone! Just wanted to drop by and tell you that I have some interesting news…

On March 21st, Upon Your Return is set to release. I am very excited about having it back on the market, and to let you see the awesome, new book cover! My designer, Shannon, is an absolute genius, I swear. ♥

Cover Reveal – Upon Your Return
Hi, readers! Just wanted to pop in here and let you know that we have an official book cover for Upon Your Return, my first historical romance novel.
Yes, this novel was available years ago, but after getting the rights back last year, I began resubmitting the manuscript to other publishers. Foundations Books took on the Victorian maritime romance series, and in ten days, the second edition of this book will release. So, be sure to grab a copy on November 23rd. Follow my author page on Amazon or BookBub to receive new release notifications, add it to your Goodreads wishlist, or you may go ahead and pre-order a copy today! 😉
OMG, didn’t they do a lovely job on this? I am so excited! ♥

Thanks for your time, and have a great weekend, everyone! 🙂
New Book Coming Soon
Hi, readers! I just wanted to jump in here and let you know that I officially have a release date for the second edition of Upon Your Return. Yay! 😀
I am so excited to know that the Heiresses trilogy, my first historical romance series, is quickly returning to us. I’m not allowed to show the book cover just yet, but I’ll tell you when I can. Let’s just say it’s a fabulous cover! 😉
Mark your calendars for the release date on this book. It’s coming out on November 23rd. That’s right, this year!

COMING SOON – Pre-order a steamy rom com!
Hi, readers! I have a new release coming up in March. Don’t miss this one!
Chasing Ginger is the start of a new series, and a little different than my usual books. As a big fan of romantic comedies, I decided to take what I knew about the genre, add an even sexier spin, with the backdrop of a truly farfetched situation, and throw in a plus-sized heroine. Yep, there’s some pretty foul language too…check it out! ♥
Release Date: March 10, 2020

The publish button wasn’t working on my other blog, so I had to move the post here… 😥
Writing in the Modern Age 2019 Year in Review:
Big Reflections – Past and Present
Hi, everyone! A year I imagined would crawl right by, in fact, did
not. Instead it flew so fast, I suffered vertigo several times. 😉
Tomorrow we’ll adjust our calendars to reflect that life has
changed in a blink, welcoming 2020. For this year’s annual review
post, I’d like to commemorate the evolution of Writing in the
Modern Age. Six years ago, I opened the blog to guest authors and
it’s been a wild ride ever since. WritModAge grew from the initial
seed of a place to help other writers at any stage of their careers, all
the way to not just that, but also a site where readers can
comfortably discover their new, favorite authors! Through author and
character interviews, book and writing service interviews, guest
articles, book spotlights and mega giveaways, it has become a unique
resource for writers and readers alike.
So…give a warm round of applause to all 350 content writers and
authors who visited us via various events from 2013 to 2019.
However, there were 104 guest writers this year alone. That’s
awesome! 🙂
