 I've spent a year fighting with a story. Wrote three different drafts and none of them felt right until the fourth and final one! I'll be finishing up this story this week and I'll have the majority of my 2023 releases complete with their rough drafts.
I hope September is going well with you. Aside from this book, I've got a 5k race coming up this weekend. I'm doing it virtually so I can do it in places I'm comfortable and familiar with. Now, here's hoping my hip and knee will be okay. That's all I have to share. As always, have a great week. x Brooke

 A long weekend doesn't feel like it was that long. We ventured into the mountains on Saturday and hiked to a waterfall with my mom and then fished, but when nothing was biting, I changed to taking pictures like the one above. Yesterday was just a day for writing and hanging out with my kids and today is mounting to be similar. My husband was up hunting all weekend and is now home telling me all about his weekend.
I hope you're have a great start to the school year if you have kiddos and a good September. x Brooke  Have your kiddos gone back yet? Mine are starting this week and as much as I'm going to miss them, I'm ready for them to have a break from each other and I'm certain they are too.
I'm working away on a novel that's been driving me crazy and reading the "Viscount Who Loved Me". I don't have much to share this week. I have a fun weekend filled with hiking to waterfalls planned for the kiddos, my mom, aunt, and I and maybe a movie night with my sister-in-law and her kiddos. As always, have a wonderful, fun, and safe week. x Brooke Welcome to the end of August and all the books I have to share with you from my month.
To kick start the month, I dived into more Rogue Enforcer books.

I never know what I'm really going to read next, I kind of pick at random. I hope you have a great start to September. x Brooke  Umm ... where did the summer go? I had plans here people and fire season started way too soon! This is the final week before kiddos go back to school and as ready as I am for them to get back to school, friends, and me peace, I'm also not. For the most part, I enjoy their company and going on adventures with them. Might have to see if we can sneak away from one more hike before school.
I'm well into my newest book. I have no clue how long of a book it'll be since I didn't outline this one, but I'm having fun just going from the seat of my pants. I hope you're all having a wonderful end of August. See you Friday with "What Brooke Read" August edition. x Brooke  My husband and my wedding anniversary is this coming Friday. We had plans to go camping with the kids and Timber for the weekend but had to change it up when my dad was invited to sit on a Q & A panel (I wish I could be there to record him) and now I have to dog sit their pack.
So, rather than going this coming weekend, we left at the crack of dawn and headed up for a day of fishing. I didn't catch more than a couple of mosquito bites, but that's okay. We had fun on our hike and playing around. We came down and I got to work baking. My garden is going zucchini crazy so I'm making plenty of bread we'll freeze so we have some for winter. That's about all the fun I have for us this week. I'm back to writing after a weekend off. I hope you have a wonderful week. x Brooke  Book Lovers day! What are you reading today? I'm dividing my attention between Bridgerton The Duke and I by Julia Quinn and Colby: Outdoor Alphas by Jaycee Wolfe.
All weekend, I practically had my nose in my kindle reading the Wolf Hotel Series by Nina West. Holy cow! Talk about a series that sucks you in. I'm hard a work today with a story idea I'm not plotting for. I haven't done this since My Cowboy! I have no clue where this one will take me. It's terrifying and thrilling all at once. I can't wait to see where it takes me. That's about all I have to share with you today. Have a wonderful week. Happy reading. x Brooke No matter how much time we've spent on the mountains, my children have yet to see a bear while we fish or hike. The spot this picture was taken was Saturday around lunch time while my youngest and I spent the day fishing with my parents. The next day, a family friend and his daughter saw one just up the bank from here.
My oldest, husband, and brother-in-law spent the weekend at an archery shoot so we took advantage of having some fun of our own. I managed to catch a few fish and had a few more follow my lure, but all-in-all, it was just a great day to be in nature. Today, I'm getting started on an outline for a new series. Not going to say much about it aside from I struggled with what was going to be the first book last year and now I know why; a different story needed to be told. Stay tuned in tomorrow for The Mating Call's cover reveal! Have a great week. x Brooke It's that time of the month again! I got busy making potato salad and starting an outline so I almost forgot about this. Without further delay, let's get started!
First up is Ransom by Callie Rhodes. It's a continuation of her Omegaverse series but different from the ones she came out with last year. Goodreads Amazon Jayce by Amber Monroe. I love my shifter books, but I couldn't really get into this one. Goodreads Amazon Laws of Physics: Space by Penny Reid is the second book in this trilogy. I really enjoy Penny's unique romances. Goodreads Amazon Laws of Physics: Time by Penny Reid Goodreads Amazon Elements of Chemistry: Heat by Penny Reid. I started this series a long time ago but when I saw it was on KU, I picked it back up. Goodreads Amazon Elements of Chemistry: Capture by Penny Reid. Goodreads Amazon The Wild Interview by K.A. Knight. I LOVED her Den of Vipers and have tried several of her other books since. Nothing has captured me like that one did, but it might be a fit for you. Goodreads Amazon A Pack of Storms and Stars by Olivia Wildenstein. I've waited for this book and it did not disappoint. Goodreads Amazon Black Hills Blessing by A.C. Wilson. A great continuation of her series. Goodreads Amazon Black Hills Rebel by A.C. Wilson Goodreads Amazon Spider by Isla Madden-Mills. I didn't realize she had written another book in this series and it was not disappointing. Goodreads Amazon Royal Charmer by Kylie Gilmore. I'm slowly making my way through this entertaining series of royals. Goodreads Amazon Barnes and Noble Endurance by Amy Daws. I never turn down an entertaining book, Amy goes a different route with this one but the ending! LMAO! Goodreads Amazon Last but not least is Mr. Somebody by Tracie Douglas. If you're looking for a steamy billionaire read, pick this up! Goodreads Amazon And that's my July in books! I hope you find something to read in this list. Have a wonderful weekend and happy reading! x Brooke  Ever hear the term "dryer than a popcorn fart"? It's the truth here in the 307. Montana too. There is currently a fire in the mountains that is 0% contained and leading to a lot of smoke in the air. I wish there was a way the flood waters from the south could have been brought up north. We didn't get the snow pack we typically get. I worry about the landscapes I love so much, but there are places that are still green which is nice to see.
But enough of my sad news. The ideas are flowing like crazy for me right now. Especially while watching the shooting sports at the Olympics. I have something new planned to kick off 2023 and will be starting that book soon. Right now, I'm finishing up one last book for next year. This one I can't share much on yet. But I have a ending planned that will hopefully be amazing! That's all for me this week. We have an archery shoot coming up this weekend with my brother visiting and hopefully cooler temps around the corner. Have a great week! x Brooke |
