Music always tells a story. You just have to find the right note. Opposites Attract, Enemies to Lovers, Reverse Grumpy Sunshine, Close Proximity, Workplace romance set in the recording industry. Morgan Sumner is good at two things. Wardrobe choices and telling stories through music. She hears music differently than others. She can take an unfinished chord and create a symphony from it. She runs a recording studio in Chicago with the band Grade Repeated and rules her kingdom with an iron fist. She's produced and engineered pioneers, rookies and journeymen musicians to unprecedented success. She hears a story in their words, notes and voices and guides them to put something new in the world. No one and nothing new enters her world without approval. Until Wade Howell invades her world with a friendly, happy smile, he's actually interested in people's days. Morgan doesn't know what to do with someone like that. Best-selling author Wade Howell's creative juices have dried up along with his personal life. He has one chance left to save his career. He pushed deadlines too far and spent his advance for a book that's never materialized. He's agreed to ghostwrite blues legend Marvelle Lubelle's life story. The only problem is she's recording an album with a woman who keeps blocking all his progress. He's got to win her over to access his subject as she records. And somehow, his almost flawless charm isn't working on a beautiful but unpleasant pixie record producer. Forced to work together, neither has a choice but to push forward. But when the music stops, and the lights are low, a new story unfolds, and this one neither of them saw coming. Sound Off is the second story in the Carriage Chronicles. Randomly released novellas that are swoony, steamy, funny reads for when you don't know what to read next. No cliffhangers, and always a happily ever after.

I used to create "dreams" with my best friend growing up. We'd each pick a boy we liked, then we'd write down a meet-cute that always ended with a happily ever after. Now I get to dream every day, although it's a little steamier these days. And I've discovered I can and will write anywhere I can. Keep tuned to Instagram to see all the times I fit in a sentence or two. I'm a writer, married to a writer, mother of a creative dynamo of a nine-year-old boy and currently a little sleepy. I'm a klutz and goofball and love lipstick as much as my Chuck Taylors. Good things in the world: pepperoni pizza, Flair pens*, wine, coffee, laughing with my friends until my stomach hurts, a musician at the top of their game, getting lost somewhere I've never been, matinee movies on a weekday, the Chicago Cubs, a fresh new notebook full of possibilities, bourbon on a cold night, Fantasy Football, witty men, walking through the local zoo in the rain and that moment when a character clicks in and begins to write their own adventure. I'm just the pen.
