I know what you're asking, "Where the heck have you been?" I have no excuse for you all. I just haven't been writing the way I used to. I sit down with the intention to write and I get halfway through and then I'm distracted. I'll admit that Tate and Hattie's stories have been a lot harder to write than anything else I've done so far. I don't know if it's because of outside stressors or something, but work Tate I had horrible writer's block and with Hattie it just isn't flowing how I saw it in my head. Maybe my lack of worrying has partially been disappointment in myself. With that being said, I'm here, I'm around. I know most of you are used to new chapters and I really do hate to disappoint you. I hope you know how much I love you all and your support!

Just finished the valley view series. Great series 10/10 loved every bit . The only thing is I wished Dean could’ve came to his senses and saw how happy she was at valley view.

Is there a reading order for your books? I'm not sure where to start.

@AbsorbingRuby The books in each series are numbered, but you can start with any stories. Second Generation are TECHNICALLY their own series, but the first generation is part of the Boots Up books that I'm currently moving over from Chapters

I love all your books. I will say the newest series is a bit heavy for me. I had to sometimes take a step back in reading. I think that pausing as you said on Instagram is good if u think the story isn't flowing. It's okay to have a lighter hearted story going also. Keep up the great writing. Ur my favorite writer.

@RendiPhillips I like to read darker romance stories, but I think I'm better at reading than writing them lol
