I literally have three stories screaming in my mind right now. I guess when I come back from a writer's block, my mind doesn't hold back. One is a dark romance, another is the shifter one I'm working on, and another is a romantasy I've found myself daydreaming over.
The question is, can I do this? Balance three books at one? Maybe right one chapter for each a day? I'm not really sure. As you likely saw Friday, I didn't do my What Brooke Read post. I decided to start waiting until after the month is over, so it'll be coming this week instead. Last week I released the fourth book in the Powder River Pack Series, Resisting Nature. If you're looking for a great werewolf read, make sure you pick it up today! Have a great week! x Brooke

I'm sitting here, gearing up to get my writing started for the week while watching One Piece with my kiddos and celebrating that my writer's block that has had a hold of me since the beginning of October is finally over! I have a little bit more focus on what I'm diving into.
This week also marks the release of my fourth Powder River Pack book! I have to admit something to you about this series. Before I published the first book, A Second Chance, I wasn't sure I'd actually release them. The first four books were a mess. I had no clue what order to go in. Originally it was supposed to be Call of the Alpha first and then Resisting Nature, but changed it so many times because there are elements in Resisting Nature that would have been odd if I hadn't released It Just Comes Natural before it. That book was a train wreck at first on its own. I'm very happy with how this series is turning out now after a little shuffling and reworking. I have two more books to write in this series with the next two waiting for second drafts. I love each of these books, but the next one up is my favorite. Don't tell the others. I'll be back later this week with What Brooke Read. Have a great one! x Brooke I don't know about you, but I'm over the bitter cold. Honestly? I'm a little jealous over the fact we here in my neck of Wyoming barely got any snow. I'd take that over the bitter cold any day all day every damn day of the week. We've got the water running overnight to prevent the pipes from freezing and extra towels stuffed under doors to keep the cold out as much as possible. And no, we really haven't turned our heat up by much.
Maybe that's why I'm struggling to get into writing to start this week or maybe it's just because it's a Monday feeling like of Monday. Yeah, you know that makes sense. It could also that this is the start of a new series and I'm freaking out about making it good. It's a rough draft though and I need to keep that in mind. I hope wherever you are, you're warm, safe, and not dealing with the pain in the ass known as ice. Have a great one! x Brooke After taking the past two weeks off from doing pretty much anything related to writing so I could be present with spending time with my kids while they were on winter break, I'm back at it today with a brand-new series idea! I'll give you a hint ... grizzly shifters! Okay, maybe two. I've been looking for a true-blue mountain man romance. While there are plenty of great books out there, they don't meet my definition of mountain man. I'm talking alone in the woods, living completely off the land with little to no contact with people, and the works like that. Well, I'm doing it with this book.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas (or holiday you celebrate) along with a fun New Year. We took a drive up the mountain so I could snap some new pictures and play around with a glass orb I got for Christmas. With that, I hope you have a great one! x Brooke That time has come again! This one though is two parts! This first half is just the books I read for this month and the second half are the books I have selected as my top pick from every month in 2023. So, let's get started!

Have a Happy New Year! x Brooke It went from December 1st to the 18th like the buck you've been hunting all season just heard the twig snap!
Am I ready for this coming weekend? Sure, as much as a not so merry person like myself can be. I am a little disappointed there isn't much snow yet. I know, don't shoot me for those who are remembering last year when we were already drifting and shoveling every single morning. I miss those mornings. I strangely like to shovel, especially when I can play with my dog while doing so. She loves catching snow. This week is filled with a mountain man presentation with my dad for my youngest, a Christmas concert, and party where I have to bring chocolate covered pretzels I still need to make. I'm also going to attempt to write throughout the week. Last week I release book #34 and hope everyone is finding Seraphina a small dose of the happy for this holiday season. Like all my cupids, she was a hoot to write. Three more to go in this series! If you're subscribed to my newsletter, this Wednesday will be a special one! I'll be announcing my 2024 books there first and sometime next week I'll be announcing them to the rest. So make sure you're subscribed. There won't be a blog post next Monday since it's Christmas, but I'll be back next Friday with what I read as well as my top books from each month of this year. Have a great one! x Brooke I'm back at it giving this book another try. One that I want to write so badly but have no clue what I was going to do to keep it going. Okay, I should say I had because now I do and going in full steam ahead.
So, while I'm wandering through the murky ponds of this story to give it life, another will be coming out this week. My fourth Heartstrings book, Seraphina will be coming to kindles near you on Thursday! And boy, is she in for an adventure. I'm going to start working away. Have a great week! x Brooke That does not mean I'm staying inside. As much as I want to, but adult life am I right?
Errands this morning, some writing, doing my best friend's hair, and then more errands before school pick-up has my Monday full. I'm getting closer to the home stretch with my current WIP as well as Seraphina coming out in 10 days!!! There isn't much else to share this week. As always, I hope you have a great one. x Brooke Here I am again bringing you what books I've read for November and hoping that you find something that sparks your own interest! So here we go!
With This Woman by Jodi Ellen Malpas Goodreads Amazon Barnes and Noble Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros - favorite of the month! Goodreads Amazon Barnes and Noble The Harvest Bride by Kati Wilde Goodreads Amazon Court of Nightmares by K.A. Knight Goodreads Amazon Fallen Prince by Julia Sykes Goodreads Amazon Barnes and Noble Stepbrothers' Darling by K.A. Knight Goodreads Amazon The Anti-Hero by Sara Cate Goodreads Amazon The Devil by Ashley Jade Goodreads Amazon Lords of Darkness by Amanda Richardson Goodreads Amazon There you have it. As always, happy reading! x Brooke This is definitely one of the Monday-est of Mondays. After four days off, I'm catching up on things; laundry, emails, and of course, writing. I took my computer while we were having Thanksgiving fun, but only got on it long enough to order a couple of things and then was off again. This week sees me starting at nearly the halfway point for the manuscript I'm currently working on and ideas flooding with another. Yeah, it's going to be fun keeping my thoughts straight for the next couple of days.
Since I missed it Friday, I'll be releasing What Brooke Read this coming, so be on the look out. Have a great one! x Brooke |
