I have debated with this several times. “Looking back distracts from the now,” which Edna eloquently stated in the Incredibles movie. Yet, it is true. Looking backwards can prevent you from growing. However, since publishing the Just Breathe series, I have grown as a person and as a writer. To honor Emma and Joe, I felt it was best to go back and make small changes, edits, and even provide them with new book covers. To me, since they were my first books published, there is a kindred spirit between them and me. I want to do their story justice by making corrections so they can shine that much brighter.
So, keep your eyes peeled for when the re-release of the Just Breathe series will happen. Edits have already begun and covers have been redesigned. The new and improved versions may come before the end of 2021, if not, then defintiely in 2022!
To those who have read Emma’s and Joe’s story. Thank you for making becoming an author fun. Thank you for enjoying their story even with the editing mishaps here an there. Thank you for latching onto Emma and Joe as I have.

Synopsis of the series:
Breathe In is about a twenty-four-year-old woman named Emma Peterson who has made sure to have as much control over her life as she can since the death of her parents that occurred when she was sixteen.A fear of loss dominates Emma’s mindset when it comes to relationships of all types, especially when it comes to men and dating.Emma doesn’t date.Rather, she uses men for sex.
She’s created eight golden rules to keep herself at a distance from men, particularly the men she sleeps with; 1. no dating or going out on dates, 2. never let them know where she lives, 3. never pick up a guy in a particular social setting that she may frequently attend or sleep with a man whom she may have the chance of running into on a regular basis, 4. never have a guy over to her apartment for any reason (her gay best friends are the only exceptions), 5. always end things before the guy starts to want more, 6. always use protection, 7. never sleep over at their place after sex and 8. always have more than one exit strategy.
When Emma’s best friend, Maggie, becomes involved with a new boyfriend, Emma’s world changes radically.Maggie’s relationship with Henry moves very quickly; faster than any of her previous relations and Emma is not excited about the newcomers to the group.On top of that, Henry’s best friend, Joe Covelli, is the first man Emma has ever met who makes her call her own rules into question.
Aside from the introduction of Joe Covelli to Emma’s life and the temptation of breaking her rules, Emma also finds herself in a whirlwind of self-discovery. Her past creeps back into her controlled life, forcing her to consider her fear of loss and potential acceptance of love and true happiness.
