Happy New Year, friends!
There’s something magical about the fresh start a new year brings. The crispness of January feels like a blank page waiting to be written on—a chance to dream bigger, set new intentions, and take bold strides toward the future we envision. For me, 2025 isn’t just another year; it’s a year brimming with possibilities, challenges, and growth. It’s an opportunity to push past fears, embrace the unknown, and write my story—literally and figuratively—with courage and heart.
Looking back, 2024 was filled with milestones, lessons, and a myriad of emotions. There were moments of triumph, days of doubt, and countless hours crafting characters and worlds that felt real enough to live in. But as the calendar flips, I can’t help but feel energized by the potential of what’s ahead. I’m stepping into 2025 with a full heart, focused determination, and some seriously ambitious goals—and I’d love to share them with you.
My 2025 Goals
Here’s a peek at what I’m dreaming of and working toward this year:
📚 Release Eight Spicy Reverse Age Gap BooksThis year, I’m diving headfirst into two exciting series that have been dancing in my mind for months. The first, Bikers of Boston, will feature bold characters, intense romance, and the thrill of the ride (literally!). Picture wealthy, cocky men navigating love and life with their sleek bikes and sharp edges. The second? Well, I’m leaning toward indulging my sweet tooth with a candy-themed series—because who doesn’t love a little sugar with their spice? These stories will be a labor of love, and I can’t wait to share them with you and hear what you think.
🎤 Conduct Forty Author Interviews on Literary LinesOne of the most fulfilling parts of my journey has been connecting with other writers and creatives through my podcast, Literary Lines. There’s something incredibly inspiring about sitting down with fellow authors to hear their stories, share their triumphs, and dig into the art of storytelling. This year, I’m doubling down on that passion, aiming to bring you inspiring and insightful interviews with forty incredible authors.
🎧 Guest Appearances on Ten Podcasts and (Fingers Crossed) a Morning ShowI’m stepping out of my comfort zone in 2025 and putting myself out there in a big way. Sharing my journey, my books, and my passion for storytelling on podcasts and (dare I dream?) a morning show is a goal that both excites and terrifies me. But isn’t that the best kind of goal? The kind that stretches you, challenges you, and shows you what you’re capable of.
💻 Co-Host Forty Weeks of Writing SprintsWriting can be a solitary pursuit, but not this year! My book bestie and I are teaming up for weekly writing sprints. There’s something magical about showing up consistently, cheering each other on, and holding space for creativity to flourish. These sprints will be a cornerstone of my writing routine, and I’m so grateful for the accountability and camaraderie they bring.
💪 Prioritize Health and WellnessAmid all the writing and podcasting, I’m making my health a priority. This year, steady workouts, healthy eating, plenty of sleep, and staying hydrated are non-negotiables. After all, a well-rested and energized mind is key to making all these dreams a reality. Plus, taking care of myself is the best way to ensure I have the stamina to bring my creative visions to life.
🕒 Stick to a Consistent ScheduleIf there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that dreams need structure. Creativity thrives within boundaries, and this year, I’m committed to creating (and sticking to!) a schedule that balances my writing goals, podcasting, self-care, and family time. It’s not always easy, but I know the effort will be worth it.
🤔Reflecting on the Journey
If I’ve learned anything over the years, it’s that growth doesn’t happen in a straight line. It’s messy and unpredictable, filled with twists and turns we never see coming. But it’s also beautiful. Every stumble, triumph, moment of doubt, and courage shapes us into who we are and who we’re becoming. That’s why I’m stepping into 2025 with a grateful heart, ready to embrace the challenges and celebrate the victories, no matter how big or small.
🤩What About You?
Whether setting big, bold goals or quietly focusing on smaller, meaningful changes, the start of a new year is your time to shine. Let’s make this a journey of growth, connection, and joy. I’d love to hear about your goals and intentions so I can cheer you on!
Here’s to 2025—a year of fresh starts, good intentions, and endless possibilities. With love, ambition, and a sprinkle of hope, I wish you a FABULOUS year 💫
