# welcometomoonridge.com ## Posts - [We have a title!](https://welcometomoonridge.com/we-have-a-title/): I’m happy to announce that book three in the Welcome to Moonridge series officially has a title. Say hello to Right Place Wrong Time. This one follows Calvin and Everett as they stumble through love, danger, and more time-bending chaos than I probably had any business writing. I had a really difficult time landing on a title that felt right. It started out as The Restless Hearts Club which was fine, but didn’t quite hit what I was looking for. Then it was Hearts in Retrograde, but that felt cheesy. I finally settled on Right Place Wrong Time and after […] - [Proof of Life check-in](https://welcometomoonridge.com/proof-of-life-check-in/): I know I’ve been pretty quiet online lately. Truth is, I just haven’t had much to say. Most of my time has gone toward taking care of my mental health. The world feels like a dumpster fire right now, and social media hasn’t exactly been helping. It’s a steady stream of misinformation, outrage, click bait and hot takes, and after a while, it started to wear me down. So I stepped back. I’ve also been busy protesting and calling my congress representatives and senators to ensure they’re doing all that they can to stop this insane administration from hurting everyone. […] - [Your questions answered - Volume 1](https://welcometomoonridge.com/your-questions-answered-volume-1/): I’m finally getting around to answering some questions that I’ve received over the last couple of months. So sorry for the delay. Life has been lifing and I’m trying to balance work, a social life, and a writing life. A couple of questions came in more than once or were closely related, so I combined them here. I also won’t be sharing any names, since I believe in keeping things private. Do you use AI generation for your books or book covers? Short answer: no, I don’t. I did a short video on Instagram that shows how my covers are […] - [Death is here for his date!](https://welcometomoonridge.com/death-is-here-for-his-date/): It’s finally here. Date Night With Death is out in the world. This was the book where I realized I wasn’t just writing another paranormal romance—I was building a series. It’s also where I first introduced the bigger threat that’s been quietly looming over Moonridge (slight spoiler alert: The Concord 13). When I finished Once Upon a Blue Moon, I immediately dove into this one because Mina needed her story told immediately. You’ll notice right away that the tone is darker. That shift felt natural. My process has always been to get the bones of the story down first, and […] - [Fall, Friends, and Final Revisions](https://welcometomoonridge.com/fall-friends-and-final-revisions/): Hi, friends! It’s finally fall, my favorite season of all, and boy, have I been busy! Sweater weather is just around the corner, and I can’t wait. Between getting everything ready for the release of Date Night With Death and trying to stay on top of things at my day job, I feel like I’ve barely had time to breathe. I did take an extended Labor Day weekend, though, and it was great to visit friends I hadn’t seen in years. I even gave myself a full week off from writing and plotting, which was exactly what I needed. Date […] - [Review Copies Available](https://welcometomoonridge.com/review-copies-available/): Hello, friends! Just a quick note to let you all know that electronic review copies of Date Night With Death are now on StoryOrigin and NetGalley. You can apply for a review copy here: StoryOrigin Reviewer NetGalley Reviewer I’m in the process of getting everything together to get the book up on NetGalley. I work with BookBuzz on this and it usually takes them a bit. I’m hoping it will be up and ready to request by the end of next week. I will update this post and add the link once it’s available. OK, off to Moonridge. I’m rewriting […] - [Death is Coming](https://welcometomoonridge.com/death-is-coming/): OK. I couldn’t wait any longer. I spent all last week and this past weekend finalizing “Date Night With Death”. It’s done. I can’t edit it down any further. I feel like the voices are strong, the story is tight, and the stakes have been raised. It’s time to wrap this one up so I can get back to writing book three. This book was originally slated for release on October 7, but since I’m my own publisher and it’s essentially ready, I’ve moved the publication date up two weeks to September 23. It’s available now for Kindle pre-order, and […] - [Did Someone Order a Facelift?](https://welcometomoonridge.com/did-someone-order-a-facelift/): Yes, I know “Once Upon a Blue Moon” just released. It’s basically still a newborn. So why would I decide to change the cover already? Let me tell you a little story… Actually, there’s no big story. The truth is, my friend created digital versions of my characters for me with the original plan of using them on the covers. But when it came time to actually design those covers, I started wanting tweaks. A lot of tweaks. And they weren’t quick fixes either. (Read: I was a pain in the butt.) Who knew that it would be so time […] - [The Real Magic Behind the World of Moonridge](https://welcometomoonridge.com/inspiration-behind-the-world-of-moonridge/): Today, I want to focus on where the idea for the town and the characters featured in the Welcome to Moonridge series came from. I grew up in a small town that, to me, always felt a little magical. Sure, it had its flaws (what small town doesn’t?), but there was something about it that I loved. I felt like I was in my own little world where anything could happen. I wanted to recreate that and incorporate all the “what ifs” that I could. As a kid, I was very “unconventional.” Ok, I’ll admit it. I was a weirdo. […] - [And that's a wrap!](https://welcometomoonridge.com/and-thats-a-wrap/): I know, I know—I’m behind on blog posts. This one was meant to go up Friday, and here we are on Sunday. But I promise, I’ve got a good excuse: I just finished line edits for Date Night With Death! The manuscript is officially off to my amazing proofreaders for the final round. If you’ve been following along, you know I wrote the first two Welcome to Moonridge books back to back. After polishing up Blue Moon and getting it out into the world, I returned to Date Night for another read-through to reorient myself, and that’s when something unexpected […] - [I Think You Forgot the Seasoning](https://welcometomoonridge.com/i-think-you-forgot-the-seasoning/): (aka: Yes, Hazel and Blake banged. No, I didn’t write it out.) So, I wanted to take a little time to talk about the lack of spice in Once Upon a Blue Moon. It’s a question I’m sure many of you have had, and one I felt like I should address in a blog post because, let’s face it, people love their spice! And it’s a totally fair question. This is a romance, after all. But the answer isn’t as simple as “because I didn’t want to.” So I thought I’d break it down here. 1. I wanted the story […] - [Release Day is Here! Once Upon a Blue Moon Is Out in the World](https://welcometomoonridge.com/release-day-is-here-once-upon-a-blue-moon-is-out-in-the-world/): I can’t believe I’m actually typing this. Once Upon a Blue Moon is officially out in the world today. It’s fine. I’m fine. Truthfully, this is a day I wasn’t sure would ever come. Anxiety and I are old frenemies. My go-to response to anything exciting is: “Everyone will hate it and also me.” (Shoutout to intrusive thoughts for always being early to the party.) But I’m doing my best to shut that noise down and focus on something more important: this book is finished. It’s here. It’s real. And I am so proud of it. I hope you are, […] - [One More Week and the Magic of Moonridge Begins!](https://welcometomoonridge.com/one-week-until-once-upon-a-blue-moon-and-the-magic-of-moonridge-begins/): I can’t believe we’re just one week away from the release of my debut novel, Once Upon a Blue Moon! - [Welcome to Moonridge!](https://welcometomoonridge.com/welcome-to-moonridge/): You’ve just stumbled into the heart of Moonridge, the setting of a paranormal romance/mystery series of books. ## Pages - [Character Bios](https://welcometomoonridge.com/characters/) - [About](https://welcometomoonridge.com/about/) - [Contact](https://welcometomoonridge.com/contact/) - [Moonridge Gazette](https://welcometomoonridge.com/news-updates-2/) - [Privacy Policy](https://welcometomoonridge.com/privacy-policy-2/) - [Home Page](https://welcometomoonridge.com/home-page/) - [Timeline](https://welcometomoonridge.com/timeline/) - [FAQ](https://welcometomoonridge.com/faq/) - [Locations](https://welcometomoonridge.com/locations/) - [Who's Who](https://welcometomoonridge.com/whos-who/) - [News & Updates](https://welcometomoonridge.com/news-updates/) - [Books](https://welcometomoonridge.com/books/) [comment]: # (Generated by Hostinger Tools Plugin)
