We officially have over 100 SparksFly members, and honestly, that just makes me so excited. Over 100 of you have chosen to join me over on this platform to make sure you get my updates and have no algorithms to fight, and I'm so honored that you like me, my books, and my content enough to do that. 

As a special thank you, I'm hosting a giveaway, but this one will be a little unique and more of a 'trust the process' venture. 

As you know, a few months ago I pulled my debut novel, and my second number, from publication so I can re-edit them and make sure they shine like the rest of my books do. Between the Flames and Wicked Games We Play will always hold a special place in my heart, so I wanted to make them BETTER than they were. I've learned a lot since publishing them, so it was time for their glow up. 

I'm in the process of editing, but this giveaway is to give TWO lucky readers the opportunity to get their hands on the new and improved ebook versions first. I want YOU to read the edited and updated Between the Flames and Wicked Games We Play as soon as I finish them. 

So while I have no specific date for that, other than early 2025 (this is the trust the process portion), I want to select two readers to stay in close communication with me and be the first to read them once they're finished. 

Sound like fun? Just comment on this post and on January 3rd I'll pick the two winners! 

I love you bunches. Thank you so much for being here. 

Our family grew by four tiny feet today! Meet our new Russian tortoise. Name TBD, but we’re thinking Mars ✨

We tend to have an astrological theme to our pet names, so we're trying to keep the trend and are open to HELP! 

Have any ideas? Comment below! Please.

🐢 We need to stay gender neutral b/c it'll be a while before we can find out if it's a girl or a boy 

🐢 Not Luna or Vega (those are girl names but also the names of our late doggo and our current doggo)

🐢I already keep calling it a boy. And he's so dang freaking cute I just can't even 😍

🐢Right now we're thinking Mars, Comet, or Pluto. 

“What are you doing?” My voice is shaking, but I’m not scared. I’m annoyed.  

It’s freaking cold out here, and I shiver, having shrugged out of my jacket when I cranked the heater before leaving the Stokes’.  

Miller doesn’t look cold, though. His black and red flannel looks warm and cozy, and he seems unphased as he smirks.

“Following you home.”  

“What? Why would you do that?”  

“Because I’m not going to let you spend Christmas alone, Elizabeth.”

“How do you know I’m spending it alone?” My breath catches.  

“Are you?”

Kicking a lump of snow, I look down at the ground.

“Yes.”

Miller takes a couple of steps closer to me.

“Well, you’re not anymore.”

Meeting his gaze, I search for the catch. The angle. The game he’s obviously playing.  

“Why do you care?”

I try to give him an attitude to mask the wild beating of my heart that’s making me want to spring into tears.  

A car zooms past, startling me, and I gasp. Miller takes another step closer, positioning himself between me and the road.  

“I don’t know. But I do,” he says with a husky voice, his eyes dipping to my mouth.

Without thinking, I lick my lips.  

“You shouldn’t. Go back to your family, Miller.”

“No.”

“Why not?”

He takes another step closer until we’re toe to toe. Inside of my chest, my heart hammers so violently, I’m convinced he can hear it.

Reaching his hand up, he tangles it in my hair, cupping the base of my head. “I’m exactly where I want to be.”

The air grows thick around us, hard to breathe, despite being outside. Then, the world stands still when he asks, “Can I kiss you?”

It’s time to ugly sweater shop 💕

Pick a sweater, then peek to the next pic to get a quote. (Yes I know I doubled up on quotes. Oops!)

My favorite quote from I Really Can’t Stay was a little too long for this game, but I’m obsessed still. 

“Life’s been good—comfortable—and I never felt like I was missing anything. But then you tripped into my world, and suddenly, everything changed. I never realized my life was the equivalent of white Christmas lights until you came in and rehung them in multicolor hues.”

Still need to read the holiday book everyone’s talking about? Read it for FREE with kindle unlimited!
