HAPPY TUESDAY NEW RELEASE DAY!! OMG TODAY’S LIST IS LOADED in SO MANY of my (our!!) favorite authors. My blurb jolt & stand-out section will be wayyyyy too long, so know that I want to add at least 15 books in that section alone!

Hunted by monsters, driven to exhaustion, and kidnapped by a powerful priest...”), Ryder (Lucky River Ranch Book 5) by Jessica Peterson <— RODEO COWBOY ROMANCE!! “…One hard fall in the rodeo ring.

8 Monday Early Bird Book Releases – 04-06-2026

<— HAPPY MONDAY!! I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GREAT WEEKEND!! HOLY MOLY LOOK what just went live and is #1 ON ALL of AMAZON KINDLE right now!!!

Three things:

1.) I spent a very quiet weekend just doing my thing each day (as my husband had to work all weekend). I missed him, but all that extra time was focused on things I’ve been needing to do and putting off (since weekends are our time to go do adventures and explore our time off together), and so I still kept super busy.

2.) I’m stuck on not having any movies I’m dying to watch. Not in the theaters, not on my Prime “rent now” section. That rarely happens, and after a whole fall & winter of awesome-sounding horror movies in theaters that I’ve since devoured, I’m… movieless. What have you watched lately that I MUST watch? Horror OR otherwise. What’s awesome that I’m missing out on? read more
