New book! New look! 😎

Life has been hectic and social media has taken a backseat so I can get back to myself, but things are finally beginning to look a bit brighter on the horizon and so I’m slowly getting back to the ‘gram.

The end of 2022 brought with it a lot of challenges, both personally and professionally, and I made it my goal to let 2023 be the year of change. Some changes (like coloring my hair for the first time in my life) will be in my control. Some won’t be. But I’m determined to embrace each one as it comes and make the best of it. I’m going to try not to think of these moments as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ but just challenges on the road to the next moment. 😌

Writing Book 4 has been an uphill battle so far but I had an epiphany this weekend whilst talking to my writers group and now I’m even more excited for the story than ever! ✍️

I’ve also just received the official title for Book 3 and it’s SO GOOD! I’ll be sharing that with all of you soon and I can’t wait. 🤩

And for those of you out there struggling at other points in your creative journey—keep at it! These last few years have been hard for everyone. Even the artists you look up to. (I know because one of mine admitted the same to me when I met her! 😱) But keep doing what you love. Forget about the rat race and find the fun in it. Because no one else can love your passion for you. 🥰

OK! Enough sap. Back to being funny again! 😜🤪🤓

Pair your healthy lunch with a thrilling read! 🥗📚

NO BAD DEED was the first of Heather Chavez’s books that I’d ever read and it made me a fan for life! This twisting tale of a Good Samaritan act gone wrong stayed in my thoughts days after I finished reading it. It’s a suspenseful story that grips you from the first page and doesn’t let you go until the end.

Served alongside a filling salad so good you’ll want more!

Recipe:
• Half a bowl of lettuce, mixed greens, or spinach
• 10 sliced snack (cherry) tomatoes
• Handful of cucumber slices (cut in fourths)
• 1 tbsp sunflower seeds
• 6-8 small feta cheese cubes or half a cup of grilled chicken
• (Optional) Dressing — 1 tbsp vinaigrette or 2 tbsps plain low fat yoghurt

Time: 5 minutes (10 minutes with grilled chicken)

Bon appetit! 😋

Breakfast and a book! 📖🥣

I’m participating in a challenge at my local gym to eat healthier. I thought I’d put a spin on it by finding a book that matches the meal! Here is today’s breakfast paired with one of my favorite police procedurals — “The Girl in the Ice” by Robert Bryndza.

This novel is the first in the Erika Foster series and it’s a killer from the very first page. Bryndza’s novels always deliver and if you’re looking for a new author who writes compelling detective thrillers then this is a great place to start! 😎

To go along with this chilling tale is a cold kwark breakfast with blueberries, pomegranate seeds, muesli, and a strawberry garnish. 🫐

Recipe:
200 g kwark
3 tbsp muesli
1 tbsp pomegranate seeds
1 tbsp blueberries
1 strawberry (cut in half)

Enjoy! 😋

Wow. 2022. Where do I begin? 🤔 A lot of people

Wow. 2022. Where do I begin? 🤔

A lot of people say this year has felt like two different years in one and I have to agree. The first half of my year was an epic whirlwind! Both of my books were nominated for prestigious thriller awards and I had the incredible opportunity to attend events in NYC and London where I met so many inspiring authors! Many of whom have been writing heroes of mine for years! (Recognize any of your favorites in these photos?)

I also gained a literary agent this year, got a new publishing deal with HarperCollins, and wrote my third book! 😍📚

But the second half of the year was met with some challenging and unexpected health problems that had me in and out of the hospital. Some of these struggles are still ongoing, but they’re getting better and I’m feeling optimistic for next year. 😌

I also finally got to see my parents for the first time since the start of the pandemic, met my new editor, saw the northern lights, and discovered some new things about myself that I’m going to take with me into 2023. 🤩

And now? On to the next year! I’ve got a lot planned and I’m remaining optimistic! As for my resolution? I’m not going to tell! But it’s a good one. And I’m already on the path to bringing it into fruition!

🎇 HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎆
