It's my birthday (almost) and a new book (kind of)


Hello friends!

Spring has finally arrived. The cherry trees are in bloom, flowers are popping up everywhere, and dandelions have officially taken over the yard. Best of all—I’m no longer freezing. 😊

Lately, I’ve been working on a couple of projects, including something completely new for me: fantasy.

I’ve always loved reading fantasy and paranormal—they’re my favorites—and this particular story has been living in my head for years. I finally started writing it.

I’ll admit, writing fantasy feels very different from contemporary romance. It’s exciting… and just a little intimidating. But in the best way.

Please send a little good-vibe magic my way—I’m going to need it as I dive into this new world.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Also, I have a birthday coming up on the 22nd, and I’m trying to wrap my head around this milestone.

Turning 30 didn’t faze me.
Turning 40? Still fine.
Turning 50… okay, that one bugged me a little.

But now I’m staring down at 60, but I still feel like I’m in my twenties.

Until I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror.

That little traitor is out here telling unnecessary truths.

All that said… there’s something quietly powerful about this age, too. Starting new things. Taking creative risks. Writing stories that have been waiting for years to be told.

So here I am—on the edge of 60 and diving into fantasy.

Which feels a little wild… and exactly right.

The Blurb:

She thinks he’s a player with an ego,

But all he wants is to star in her dreams.

I moved to Hollywood with one goal in mind: earn a starring role on the silver screen. But nothing has gone to plan since.

Meeting Char, the hottest woman I've ever seen, didn’t go as planned either. After feeding her the dumbest line ever, she barely acknowledges my presence, insisting my ego will ruin my Hollywood dreams. Char’s proven right when I lose out on the role of a lifetime.

Picking up my ego off the floor, I grab a job as a roadie with the band Char manages just in time to hit the road on their tour. It’s the perfect opportunity for me to earn her trust, and hopefully, a place in her heart.

Maybe my acting career hasn’t gone as planned, but this is one role I'm playing to win.

Not Another Player is the second book in the Hollywood Stories series of full-length, standalone romances told from the Hero's point of view with no cliffhangers and a guaranteed happily ever after.

My friends call me Sister Callie. I'm the good girl. The responsible one who never took a risk and always did what was expected of me.

But that was before Jayden Reed stood before me, shirtless, jeans unbuttoned, and a sinful smile that promised to do wicked, wicked things to me.

I want him. I want to be reckless. I want one wild night. Consequences be damned, it’s time to be a bad, bad girl. Except I never imagined the consequences would come with a side of murder.

"The love of books is a love which requires neither justification, apology, nor defense." —.A. Langford

Until next time!​
Sending you all the good vibes for a magical spring time (or Fall if you are on the other side of the equator).

Happy reading!
Much love,

Erica

Happy June, my friends! Not much is happening around here this week, but I do have two stories to share. First, my son surprised me with the coolest gift. He ordered an apron from William Sonoma, hand-drew Baby Yoda in Illustrator, and then embroidered the design himself. Let me repeat that: he drew it and then embroidered it. I can barely sew on a button, so I'm beyond impressed. How adorable is this? I absolutely love it, and it may be my new favorite kitchen accessory. My second story...
