Breakfast with the Billionaire Cover Reveal
It’s cover reveal day for Breakfast with the Billionaire. So of course, I had to share! This project has been in the works for some time, and when it came time to figure out a cover, I had no idea what to do. But I knew that I needed professional help, someone who knew the…
Read MoreLaughter Is a Way of Life: An Interview with Colette Evangelista
Today’s guest and I go way back. We both attended junior high together and reconnected via Facebook many years ago. One of the things I remember most about Colette Evangelista when we were tweens (though that term probably didn’t exist then) was how fun she was. Though I didn’t tell her at the time, just…

When Tiffany Yates Martin agreed to answer questions for this series, I literally did a happy dance, right there, in front of my computer (though no one was around to witness it). I’d been running into her name for years through the Women’s Fiction Writers Association, and many of the books I read thanked her…
