The Power of the Perfect Playlist

I made a delightful discovery during my walk today—I decided to ditch the podcasts and listen to my favorite songs instead. What a reminder of how much music can completely lift and transform your mood! There's something about the right song that can put an instant spring in your step and turn an ordinary walk into a mini dance party on the sidewalk.

It also reminded me that it's officially time to bust out my favorite summer soundtrack: the playlist from my magical RomCom Playing With Matches! This collection of songs has been my go-to summer mood booster for the past two summers and I'm convinced it has actual magical powers when it comes to creating that perfect sunny day vibe.

Seriously, press play and try not to smile. I dare you.

Podcast Adventures: Spilling Author Secrets

I had the absolute privilege of being featured on a podcast last week! I got to share some of the things that have inspired me as an author, reveal the secret (and slightly crazy) origin story of my Natural Magic series, and confess which character I'd especially love to hang out with in real life.

I know authors aren't supposed to play favorites with their characters, but... well, let's just say I may have revealed my hand completely. 😅

You can listen to all my author confessions here: The Cozy Sleuth Podcast

Fair warning: I may have gotten a little too enthusiastic about certain magical mishaps and character quirks. But that's what happens when you get me talking about Primrose Court, the floodgates just open!
