👋🏻 Hello

Happy February book lovers! I hope the start of 2026 is treating you well.

Moore to Love is a behind-the-scenes look at my writing life, but sometimes the day-to-day of that can be monotonous.

Recently, I’ve been doing copyedits. That means riveting activities like searching for the words “just” and “really” and removing most of them from the novel. But I’ve managed to tighten the prose in my manuscript to the tune of a few thousands words. Honestly, I was shocked and impressed.

And the copyedits are done now! Woohoo! Which means my manuscript is ready for the next step. But more on that later.

For now, let’s get on with the highlights, shall we?

🥳 I’m a finalist in the Sapphire Award

What is the Sapphire Award? It’s a contest run by the Romance Writers of Australia, where published authors can submit an unpublished manuscript for evaluation.

I entered the contest late last year (it was a last-minute decision) but I am so glad I did, because my manuscript got through to round two. Not only that, but between you and me, it received full marks. Full marks!!

Talk about a mood booster.

Final results aren’t until August, but I’m hoping to carry the positive energy with me through the rest of my writing year.

Speaking of which …

✅ Writing goals check-in

Last month, I shared my 2026 writing goals and promised to keep you updated. I’m happy to report that one item has been crossed off:

• Finish edits on Project Mountains.

Did you miss learning about Project Mountains? Catch up here:

Have you heard about Project Mountains?

Now that the manuscript is as polished as I can make it, I have been submitting it to publishers.

My fingers are crossed, but my breath is not held as the waiting time can be months.

Good thing I’ve still got a bunch of other things on my list.

Still to do:

• Project Cities rewrite, then:

  • Complete my own first edit.

  • Send to beta-readers.

  • Complete second edits.

• Prepare my Romance Writers of Australia presentation.

• Self-publish a short story.

• Audiobook recording trial of that same short story.

What is Project Cities?

A new standalone contemporary romance set all around Australia. Yes, it’s road trip vibes! (But it’s actually plane trips.)

Want a taste? I’ve started pulling together a playlist for Project Cities. These songs evoke the mood of the book, or speak to the characters.

And you’re the first to know about it:

📚 Sale ending soon

Four Night Stand is on sale! But only until the end of February. (I know. Sadness.)

(Also, the book turns two on Sunday, did you know?)

So this is your last chance to grab the eBook for $3.99, which is a total steal because it’s usually $12.99. Go on, treat yourself to a:

• “sizzling page turner packed with chemistry”

• “flirty, fun and feel-good read”

• “steamy and swoony … rom-com [that] will have your pulse racing”
