New logo. Who dis? 🐪✨


Greetings!

It’s been a minute—how was your summer?

Mine swung between ā€œgo-go-goā€ and ā€œfleece blanket hibernation + inbox avoidance.ā€ Through it all, I valiantly managed to devour plenty of book treats including: Christina Lauren’s The Soulmate Equation, Ilona Andrews’ The Inheritance, Artificial Mischief by James H. Thrall (why yes, he *is* my dad!), Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ Simply the Best, and more.

The book fairies were very generous! šŸ§ššŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ“šāœØ


šŸŽ‰ Big News: Meet Camuel!

Remember Keira’s emotional support stuffed camel in The One That I Want?

He’s officially become my author logo!

To celebrate, I refreshed my free planner kit with a new Camuel design for each month.

​

I can’t wait to hear which design is your favorite. (Mine’s a tie between April’s galoshes and July’s palm tree vibes!)


Busy, Busy

Part of what had me go-go-going this summer?

  • New Covers: Working with designer Jaycee DeLorenzo on re-covering The One That series. I am beyond delighted with the results and can’t wait for you to see. Cover reveals coming soon!
  • New Website: Working with developers to give my site a professional glow-up. Early prototypes already make my heart do the pitter-pat dance. I'll invite you to take a look once we're live!

Words and Adventures

After a summer pause to juggle all these non-writing projects, I’m happily back at work on Felix’s story (The One That I Crave). I’ll share updates this fall as the words pile up.

Last bit of newsy-news from me... I've labeled 2025 the "Year of Grand Travel Adventures" with trips to Italy, Canada, and Oklahoma City (an unexpected delight!)-- and 'm not quite done galavanting hither and yon. Next up: a cruise through the Croatian islands. Photos coming your way upon my return! 🌊

Ciao for now,

Keely

The One That I Tease in Finding Forever - Out now!

Release Day! It's T-minus 5 days before I jump on a big jet airliner and take off for a week hiking in Cinque Terre, Italy and I'm racing around trying to make sure I pack enough socks and the right power converter thingy. So naturally this is the BEST TIME to release a new book. Oh, but what a book it is! Finding Forever: A Limited Edition Wedding Romance Collection has it all. Slow burn. Forced Proximity. Second Chances. This anthology includes 12 steamy stories where the hero and heroine...

March Reset The last few months have been a year, so last week I took time off from the daily grind to rest and renew, thinking I’d sneak in at least *some* writing time in between staring off into space and playing games on my phone. Nope! No, apparently, my brain really needed to go offline so… I let it. Now I’m playing catch up—but since it’s been a while since I checked in with y’all, sending a little howdy your way happily rose to the top of my to-do list. Fun! Speaking of brains, right...

January Musings January greetings, my friends, and welcome to all my new subscribers! I hope all of your end of year observances and celebrations were filled with warm fuzzies and good health. After an extended break in December, the first two weeks of 2025 have hit me like an avalanche. Do all the things! See all the people I didn't see in December! Eat all the food! Toast all the toasts! Well, I wish it were all those things. It's more like: work all the hours! My day job puts on a...
