Rolling into 2025 feeling rested and restored... Well, I will be by the time you're reading this. I came down with the flu on Christmas day and have watched every Jane Austen adaptation I can find while in bed for a week. But life never looks as good as it does the day after a triple-threat stomach, chest, and sinus virus finally clears—am I right?!

Speaking of Jane Austen, 2025 will hopefully bring some news on a super secret project I've been dreaming about for a little over a year. After fretting over how to incorporate what the market wants vs. what I want, I'm finally going to write it my way and exactly how I envision it. I hope to share more over the coming months. If you're a fan of Bridgerton, The Spellshop, and Little Women, stay tuned.

More projects in 2025 include On Holiday and Love Bug, the third and fourth books in the Love At The Lake series. If you've enjoyed Kissing Bandit and Royal Hearts, these books are dedicated to you! Wild plots like a reality dating show and unconventional stories like launching an Estate sale business are my favorite ways to write super swoony romance. Thank you so much for supporting the series so far. Creating a fictional world around a beautiful lake with found family and good old-fashioned tomfoolery has been the most fun. I'm looking forward to completing it *hopefully* this year. 

Personal goals include getting on my yoga mat more often, cleaning out my closet, and learning how to wallpaper! How about you? What are your goals and dreams for 2025?

As always, thanks for being here.

love, Margaret
