My Year in Review – 2017 (pt. 2)

Promo image that says Best of 2017, My Year in ReviewI have loved perusing so many blogs’ and readers’ best romance of 2017 lists, and I’ve discovered many books to add to my To Be Read list this way. It was also exciting to see Controlled Burn and Life on Pause on a few lists as well!

I was stressed and anxious about living half a country away from literally everyone we knew, and it was really cold outside. (Newsflash, Alaska’s cold, y’all.)

That evening, the editorial director at Riptide Publishing called to inform me they wanted Controlled Burn. I was in shock. My husband cried. It was awesome. And that was just the beginning.
