I shared this on my Facebook page last week. But I wanted to get it up here on my blog!!! This is a contemporary adult novel I'm working on!! It's my first in the genre and I am super excited about it.

It's the most emotional book I've ever written.

But.. it tells a beautiful story.

I am hoping to release it after the summer!

Oh and check out my Author Page for the last Breathless Magic teaser before the Valentine's Day release!!!!!

Here is The Five Stages of Falling in Love!


Elizabeth Carlson is living in the bowels of hell- also known as grief.

Her husband of eight years, the father of her four children and the love of her life died six months ago from cancer. When Grady was diagnosed, they knew his chances were slim, but Liz never gave up hope that he would make it. How could she, when he was everything to her?

Six months later, she is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life and get the kids to school on time. Both seem impossible. Everything seems impossible these days.

When Ben Tyler moves in next door, she is drowning in sorrow and pain, her children are acting out, and the house is falling apart. She has no time for curious new friends or unwanted help, but Ben gives her both. And he doesn’t just want to help her with yard work or cleaning the gutters. Ben wants more from Liz. More than she’s capable of ever giving again.

As Liz mourns her dead husband and works her way through the five stages of grief, she finds there’s more to her life than death. And more of her heart to give than she thought possible. But the guilt and heartache from her first love do their best to keep her from falling again.
