Hi, everybody! It's us! Niall and Kirsten!

Mama said we could help with the blog today because it's almost CHRISTMAS and that's the most exciting time of the whole entire year and we have SO MUCH to tell you about—

Niall. Use your inside voice.

I AM using my inside voice, Kirsten. This is typing. You can't even hear typing.

You're still being loud.

ANYWAY.

Christmas is coming and we are SO EXCITED. We've been helping Gramma Meagan make cookies and Keagan let us help brush the horses and Mama says...

I have fibromyalgia, and today started as a high-pain day. This has absolutely nothing to do with the story I'm about to tell you, other than to explain why I was still horizontal at almost 11 a.m. on a Sunday morning like some kind of human sloth in fuzzy socks.

After I'd taken my gabapentin and chased it with what I call "the pain combo" (acetaminophen and ibuprofen—not medical advice, just desperation), I finally shuffled into the living room, where I discovered my husband had apparently...

Well, friends, we made it through Thanksgiving weekend, and if you're anything like me, you're still working through the leftovers while wondering where the time went.

I'll be honest with you—I had grand plans for the long holiday weekend. Extra days off from the "day job" meant extra writing time, right?

The rules are yours to make, the timeline yours to control, and the only person you need to convince is...

After months of living with these characters, walking beside them through grief and healing, watching them face threats that could destroy everything they love, and discovering that the courage to come home is stronger than the fear of what it might cost—I'm thrilled to share that Keagan: Finding the Way Home is now available as an ebook on Amazon Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.

This story has been a journey for me as much as for the Ellery siblings. What started as whispers from my muse became a...

There's something about creativity that defies logic, that resists the careful planning and strategic thinking that serves us well in every other area of life. I spent years in brand strategy, building campaigns and managing projects with the kind of precision that comes from understanding exactly what outcome you're working toward. Then I found myself unemployed after eight years of loyalty, updating my resume for the hundredth time, when a voice I'd been ignoring for decades finally grew...
