Some thoughts on Starting Over


Starting Over had made it through the beta process, gotten its final polish, and is now in the hands of my graphic designer. It's getting SO CLOSE!!!

I'm incredibly excited about this one! More than any other book I've written (and this is #24) I feel like this one has been building for years.

We've watched Colt grow up before our eyes, from that skinny teenager in Wyoming who we met in Coming Home (back in 2015) to a young man trying to find his way. We also watched his relationship with Elijah fall apart, and ever since then Colt's been trying to pick up the pieces and move on. That's part of the reason for the title, Starting Over.

But the title fits his love interest, Renaldo Medina, too. Ren used to have it all: a famous boyfriend, a successful IT company, money, prestige. But for the last three years, his life has been on a downward spiral. His relationship ended on a blindside, his resort is failing, and he doesn't know what to do with the next chapter of his life.

Even though this is a May-December romance (the two main characters are 21 and 41), I love the fact that they have a lot in common, including the fact that they're both trying to answer the question: what's next for me?

Answering that question takes them from friends to lovers, and it brings Colt back to his home state of Wyoming, so his story comes full circle. In order to figure out where he's going, Colt needs to understand where he's been. And Ren is at his side, every step of the way.

March 29th!

Colt's story has been years in the making. We first met him as a teenager trying to make it on his own in Coming Home, part of my Firsts & Forever Series. Then we watched his heart get broken when his relationship with Elijah ended. He's all grown up now and about to find the love of his life. Starting Over is coming soon!

Starting Over is coming soon!

I'm so happy to announce that Colt's book, Starting Over, is getting close to completion! I'm planning to publish it at the end of March, exact date TBA. I won't be doing a pre-order. Instead, I plan on uploading it to Amazon the moment it's complete. I'll post here and on social media as soon as it's live.

We first met Colt all the way back in Coming Home, book 9 of my Firsts and Forever Series, so his happily ever after has been a long time coming.

Here's the cover and blurb:


Colt Matthews is trying to find his way in the world.

His friends are getting married, finding rewarding careers, and moving forward with their lives. Meanwhile, twenty-one-year-old Colt’s still trying to figure out who he is and what he wants out of life. About the only thing he knows for sure is that he’s undeniably drawn to his friend Ren, despite their age difference. But what are the chances Ren feels the same way?

Renaldo Medina is trying to get his life back on track.

He had everything for a while: a wildly successful company, a famous boyfriend, a life most people would envy. Then it all fell apart and left him reeling, and he’s been stalled out ever since. But when he strikes up an unlikely friendship with a beautiful younger man, Ren starts to feel something he thought he’d lost forever: hope.

Can two lost men find their way together? Or will their generation-wide age gap and the ghosts of their past prove to be more than they can overcome?
