New Look for The Somewhere Aching series Original Look for The Somewhere Aching Series I opted for a new book design for the Somewhere Aching series to better align with my genre of dark romance. I had some negative feedback from reviewers on my original artwork and decided, yeah, they might be right. The color scheme is a bit too bright and pretty for the gritty content in the story.

They can be read here:   The Somewhere Aching Series - Astrology I will also conduct a deep dive on each character and post those as well. If anyone wants to talk astrology, I am always game!

I have done nothing but write all summer. I have finished my romance trilogy: A Daughter to Die For, A Lover to Live For, and A Future to Fight For. Now, I need to get these stories out there, as in published.
