Cover Reveal Time!

 Today I finally get to share the cover of my upcoming holiday rom-com, A Little Paris Christmas! 🎄❄️

I’ve been so excited for this moment because a cover is the very first glimpse into a story—and this one captures the heart of Sophie and Mason’s romance perfectly. From the cozy snow-dusted setting to the cheerful pops of holiday color, I knew right away it had that small-town, Hallmark-style magic I love to write.

What I especially adore are the little details:
💜 Mason's typewriter for all those horror books he's writing
💜 The hint of holiday sparkle and cookies
💜 Gingersnap's collar hanging off the typewriter (it even says Gingersnap on the tiny charm!)

This story is all about opposites colliding—Sophie, the small-town tourism director brimming with Christmas cheer, and Mason, a broody horror writer who would rather hide away than hang mistletoe. Their worlds collide in Paris, PA, and sparks (and maybe snowflakes) start to fly.

I’d love to hear from you—
👉 What’s the first thing you notice about the cover?
👉 Do you judge a book by its cover (at least a little)?

Thank you for celebrating this milestone with me! A Little Paris Christmas releases October 28, 2025, and I can’t wait for you to cozy up with Sophie, Mason and of course, their adorable pup, Gingersnap.

A little Teaser Tuesday before the cover reveal!

We’re one week away from the cover reveal for A Little Paris Christmas (Sept 30!), so I thought I’d share a tiny peek inside the book today.

Here’s one of my favorite early moments between Sophie and Mason:

💬 Paris--and Sophie--had reminded him there was goodness out in the world. He could still smile.

This line really sums up Sophie’s sunshine spirit—and why she and Mason (who is very much not a holiday guy) clash so perfectly. Writing their banter was so much fun, and I can’t wait for you to experience their whole love story.

Make sure to check back next week for the official cover reveal—I think it might just be my favorite cover yet. 🎄✨

Resorting to Romance is HERE!

 

I'm so excited that Resorting to Romance is finally released!

My last book was published in 2019 so I feel as if I'm starting from scratch all over again. A little nerve wracking to say the least!

I cannot thank Entangled Publishing, The Seymour Agency and of course, my agent Lesley Sabga enough. THANK YOU so much for your support and confidence.

I hope you get a chance to pick up this fun, lighthearted beach read and enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

It was supposed to be L.A. attorney Loni Wingate’s perfect day. Instead, she got only chaos and heartbreak. Her fiancé stole her promotion and ended their engagement, leaving her career and her future dangling by a thread. Then when Loni tries to go to her safe place, her family’s quaint North Carolina resort, she finds it’s up for sale.

But Loni didn’t get to where she is without a fight. So if a developer is coming by to assess the property, the place she feels most connected to her long-gone Mama…well, Loni and her sisters will serve up a taste of Southern hospitality he’ll never forget.

Ian Hollowell hasn’t experienced “Southern hospitality” firsthand, but he’s pretty sure this is not it. Between the storage room accommodation, the all-sugar sweet tea, and a lethally hot pepper omelet, he’s getting the sense his welcome is anything but. Still, he didn’t get his ruthless reputation by quitting when the game gets interesting.

Now a round of “keep your enemies close” might be flipped on its head in bestselling author Jennifer Shirk’s sparkling and stirring story about reconsidering the past in order to shape the future. Because sometimes it takes one last resort to find the place—and people—that truly feel like home.
