Sunk in Love tour + Jack's POV bonus scenes + rest is cool

I’m baaaaaaack and thrilled to share all the deets for the Sunk in Love tour!!!

I’m so excited for what can only be described as a very slay lineup of bookstores and conversation partners!!! If you are near any of these locations, I would love to see you there!!!!

*please note that The New Romantics and Love & Legends are ticketed events.

Let’s talk about preorder goodies!

If you read Wedding Dashers and thought to yourself hmmmm I wonder what Jack was thinking, then you’re in luck because with proof of preorder from any retailer you will receive not one but TWO exclusive Wedding Dashers bonus scenes in Jack’s POV (yum)!! My editor and I couldn’t decide so we said BOTH! You’re welcome!!!

I had so much fun dipping into Jack’s POV (he’s so messy and sad, my fave) and I can’t wait to share him with you!

How to get the two exclusive bonus scenes in 3 easy steps:

1. Preorder Sunk in Love from any retailer (save your receipt!!)

2. Fill out this Google form and be sure to upload your proof of purchase (receipt must clearly show the title of the book) by 12am PT January 27, 2026

3. The two bonus scenes will be sent to the email provided the week of January 26, 2026

ALSO, I will be offering signed copies, bookmarks, and stickers (while supplies last!!!) for all preorders through Third Place Books

Here’s a little preview of the stickers created by the supremely talented Be The Archetype

A giveaway!

If you’d like a chance to win BOTH of my books, there’s a giveaway going on through my publisher now through Dec 20th.

And last but not least let’s discuss how very tired I am!!!

The last few months have been quite exhausting and creatively draining for me. I felt (and am honestly still feeling) like I was on a hamster wheel, working myself harder and harder and going nowhere. Then, a couple of weeks ago I got very very sick and was basically out of commission for two full weeks. I’ll spare you the gory details, but I have a sneaking suspicion it was my body’s way of telling me “that’s enough bitch!!! Time to rest!” So I decided (was bullied) to take my first break in a long time, and I hate to tell you that actually worked. I do in fact feel better!!!

Here’s what I learned from my break:

1. I need to take more breaks

2. Rest is cool

3. Doomscrolling isn’t rest

4. I have no idea what people do for fun. How do people relax??!! What does relaxation even feel like???!!

And I don’t say this in a wow look at how much better I am than you sort of way—because I am definitely not. I say this as someone so tired and so burnt out that I’m deeply afraid of never writing again—or worse, never enjoying writing again—and that terrifies me.

So moving forward, I’m going to try to be more compassionate with myself and allow for more time to rest. To prioritize refilling my well. To step away when I’m just not feeling it! And to be okay with days where I don’t *achieve* anything. To stop putting so much pressure on myself to always be doing more, (writing more, marketing more, reading more, making more graphics on Canva, more, more, more!) endlessly chasing an impossible quota under the illusion that if only I can do more, then I’ll finally I’ll free myself from The Guilt. Finally I’ll feel like I’ve done enough.

The guilty refrain of “if only I’d done more” has been VERY loud in my head for the last eighteen months and while sure, it has in fact guilted me into being quite productive, it’s also been exhausting to carry around that burden, to constantly pressure myself into more because of an elusive “what if.” And I’m so so tired.

So as we step into the new year I’m gonna try (not my hardest, perhaps my softest) to chill tf out a bit. To slow down. To rest. To prioritize refilling the creative well. To pause the endless pursuit of more. For my health.

And if you, dear reader, are also tired and looking for permission to slow down, to rest, to refill the well, to do less instead of more, I give it to you! As a treat! Because rest is very sexy and cool!
