We recently had the pleasure of speaking with Elizabeth Jade Taylor to talk about her debut novel, "The Probability of Us."

This contemporary romance brings together a forbidden student/TA dynamic, a swoon-worthy single dad, undeniable chemistry, and just the right amount of spice. ❤️📚

We loved hearing Elizabeth share what readers can expect from her debut. And we found out she's working on her second novel now!

Today is my 45th Birthday! 🎂This midlife dream chasing is wild- I'm over here starting new things (ALLLL the things), choosing joy, being present in the moment. I think. Well, I'm trying. Oh, and I'm elevating my feet.... mid-40s vibes are rocking, babe. Thanks for following along with me as we paint and permit and stock the shelves.

To celebrate being older/wiser/blonder, here's a really big "behind the scenes" sneak peek of X&O for my followers.

To my 20-year-old self: Hey girl! We're opening a bookstore!!!!!

One of the highlights of The Rosy Chapter was meeting so many talented authors, including Mase Evans.

We had the chance to chat about the epic world of dragons, adventure, and high-stakes fantasy found in the Dragon Hunter/Dragon Lord duology. If you’re a fan of dragon-filled adventures, powerful magic, and unforgettable battles, this is a series you’ll want on your radar. 🐉⚔️

The complete Dragon Hunter/Dragon Lord duology is available now, and the prequel, Dragon Slayer, releases on August 4th.

We loved hearing Mase share more about the series and what’s next for readers diving into this world. Follow .
