So, I made a bit of a crazy goal for 2017, but honestly, I’m totally excited about it and so far I’m staying on track with my plan. I know some people hate making goals, but I really thrive on them–I even remember making resolutions when I was a little kid. This year, we sat down and made goals as a family as well and so far, I feel we’re doing pretty great!

Want to know what the goal is? Well, last year, I finished writing/wrote five books (Inheritance Aflame took me about 9 years to finish, but about 60% of the last draft was written in 2016), all of which you can find HERE.

My goal for 2017? DOUBLE IT! I’m going to write and publish 10 books this year.

While Happy Scoops is being published in 2017 (ebook up for preorder and out on January 31st! Paperback already out), I’m not counting it–it was written in November of 2016.

Here is Book #1: Twenty-Five Candles, a novella from the Clean and Quirky Romance stand-alone series. It’s a fun, quick read, plus, when you sign up for the Clean and Quirky Romance Readers’ List, it’s totally FREE!

Book Blurb:

When Anna Lewis was young, she made a wish to be married by her twenty-fifth birthday and just knew that her dream would come true. The problem is, becoming an adult isn’t as easy as she thought it would be.

Between giving up her nursing career and caring for her home-bound mother, Anna feels her dreams are passing her by. It’s only when—on her twenty-fourth birthday—Anna learns that a doctor is moving to town that she begins to hope once more.

However, when Anna finds out who the doctor is, conflict arises and her emotions are torn between her hometown boyfriend and the boy she always loved.
