Sooo… in massively exciting news, I bought a house

Sooo… in massively exciting news, I bought a house for me and my husband – and it was only made possible because of my books. Every failed manuscript, every year of rejection, all the drafts, the millions of words, and the cat café stories that finally got noticed by publishers around the world… This is what it all turned into. I'm so, so grateful. And a little stunned this even happened. Looking forward to making many memories here – and writing and editing books from my new office! 🏡

I went to IKEA recently, and someone had placed this little stuffed cat inside a basket-house. Not sure if the basket is actually meant to be a house or just an oddly shaped decoration, but it's the perfect shape to house a stuffed animal, and it made me smile. 🐱

I was inspired by a recent Substack from @jackstrangeauthor talking about his journey writing romance and how it was almost fated. My own road to this genre was pretty unusual and something I truly didn't expect, even though it now feels very right for me, so I wrote about it in my own newsletter.

You can read it at the link in my bio. 🤍
