Friday Reads

Friday Faves 1/30/26

This week has been a blur of writing and snow, but I still managed to squeeze in some fun along the way. We were hit by a major snowstorm that left us with well over a foot of snow, which meant two full days of digging out. Add in the final round of edits on my manuscript before it heads off to my editor, and it’s safe to say it was a busy one.

Still, even during hectic weeks, I love taking a moment to notice the little things that made me smile. So today, I’m sharing a few favorites from the past few days. Ready? Let’s dive in!

I’m thrilled to finally share that I’ve been working behind the scenes on a brand-new paranormal cozy mystery that will be published by Crooked Lane Books. The first draft is officially complete. That alone feels worth celebrating with a warm cup of tea and a happy sigh.
