Typically, I write a list of all of the things I have learned (or, often relearned) while travel. In 2020 I didn’t traveling much and I learned a lot of lessons I did not want to learn. So, instead of my usual format, I decided to make lemonade out of lemons and do a year in pictures!
Books
All kinds of the good book stuff happened last year and I am over the moon about it! First, my debut novel, The Checklist, was acquired and officially hits shelves June 1, 2021.


I also got to do my first author event, and had a blast chatting with Lauren, Jayci and Brittainy a few months back at the virtual Ripped Bodice. In case you missed it, you can still watch the stream here!

Yellow Skies of Doom
I have lived in California for a years now, and last year, the state caught fire in a way I had never seen before. It was weeks of unbreathable air, but it also produced one of the creepiest skies in history.

Driving the Pacific Coast Highway
Over the summer, I took exactly one trip–a road trip up the coast to see my parents. I’d always wanted to drive up the PCH, but it takes forever and I just hadn’t made time for it. In 2020, the pandemic made time for me, and although leaving my house was terrifying, I was so glad I finally made the gorgeous drive up the coast. At some point, I’ll have to write about my trip, but for now, enjoy the pictures.
Slices of Life
And, because this year was weird, I have to share some of the weird stuff that just made me cackle!








Happy 2021, all!
