Summertime, BMAC, and nothin' new


If you’re new, welcome! So glad to have ya. I’m Finley, and I write contemporary romance with heart, heat, and healing.

Summer is technically (almost) here, and I’m incredibly excited about it! As much as I adore autumn the most, summer is a close second place. Summer means taking the kiddos to the pool, going to the park/playground, and not having to wake up at 5:30 on the weekdays because there’s no school. Well, that last one WOULD be true if the older kids hadn’t decided to do voluntary summer school/programs. So… early wake-ups for the foreseeable future.

I don’t have much to say this month, but I’ve decided to start actually using the BuyMeACoffee I started ages ago. I don’t know what all it’ll entail, but I know it’ll have sneak peeks, bonus chapters, all that fun stuff. If you want to check it out, it’s here. There’s nothing up yet, but I’m hoping to be able to sit down and figure this all out over the next week.

I’ll also be opening up beta reader positions for an upcoming book in the next month or so. This one is a contemporary romance involving a college student just trying to make it through life and an indie rockstar who turns her world upside down.

Alright. I think that’s all for this month. So I’m off to continue juggling my books and hoping I make any sort of progress.

Quick question: What sort of things would you like to see in these newsletters?

If you’re new, welcome! So glad to have ya. I’m Finley, and I write contemporary romance with heart, heat, and healing. Welcome to April! I’m coming to you live from Headacheville where I’ve resided for the last few days. It’s… not pleasant. So with that in mind, I’ll be keeping this month’s newsletter short and sweet. Last week was my birthday (35, yay!), which I spent in the best way possible: spending time with the kiddos and Husband. I even recreated one of my absolute most favorite...

If you’re new, welcome! So glad to have ya. I’m Finley, and I write contemporary romance with heart, heat, and healing. Spring has (almost) sprung, and I’m thankful for that! I’m not a huge fan of the winter months—too cold and usually dreary—for my liking, so the warmer weather and bright sunshine is enough to make me sing a jaunty little tune. Even the rain showers and thunderstorms can’t bring me down. (Mostly because I love rain showers and thunderstorms. Duck, on the other hand, does...

If you’re new, welcome! So glad to have ya. I’m Finley, and I write contemporary romance with heart, heat, and healing. Welcome to the (middle of the) month of L-O-V-E!! It’s hard to believe January has already come and gone, but alas, here we are. Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day, Palentine’s Day , or nothing at all, I hope you have lots of love in your life. Everyone deserves it. Things have been… weird for me lately. Writing took a small backseat, which hasn’t been...
