Today, March 5th 2022, is TECHNICALLY the exact 10th anniversary of my first release day! Woohoo! ?

And now, back to year 5, 2016 …

I was working on the sixth Creepy Hollow book (Calla’s third book), but it required me to look a little closer at one of the secondary characters’ back story, and THAT resulted in me writing a novella: Scarlett.

Since I took a detour to write Scarlett’s story, the final novel of Calla’s story took a bit longer than I had originally planned, but by the middle of the year, it was done!

I rebranded the Trouble series yet again, this time deciding to use a different penname (Rochelle Morgan) to separate my fantasy and romance books for marketing purposes.

And I FINALLY completed this series by publishing The Trouble with Falling in October 2016!

I ended off the year with a second novella in the Creepy Hollow world, this one featuring the character Raven. The tone of this story was COMPLETELY different from Scarlett’s. Essentially a sweet (though somewhat forbidden) romance ?

10TH ANNIVERSARY MERCHANDISE

Reminder: I’ve created a special 10th anniversary design for the merchandise in my Society6 store. If you zoom in on the design, you’ll see that all the main characters (main character + love interest) from all the books I’ve written over the past ten years are featured in tiny text inside the 1 and 0!

i.e. Vi, Ryn, Calla, Chase, Em, Dash, Ridley, Archer, Elle, Dex, Sarah, Aiden, Livi, Adam, Andi, Noah, Sophie and Caleb.

There are some other secondary characters I really wanted to include, but once I started adding them … the list began to grow too long. ?

All you have to do to enter is comment on this blog post or one of the others between now and March 10th. ?
