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.

It’s OFFICIAL! Just Breathe, the final book of the Just Breathe trilogy has arrived today, February 16th. Now, all of you lovely ladies and kittens can read the final chapters of Emma’s and Joe’s life. Will Emma chose to LOVE and BE LOVED? Will Emma and Joe get their happily ever after?
Just Breathe and the Just Breathe Trilogy Box Set (ebook & print) are available for purchase on Amazon and Amazon Kindle Unlimited. Paperback copies (autographed) can be order directly on my website. Paperbacks and ebooks are coming to B&N, Kobo, Nook and other locations within the next few days.

The Just Breathe series 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 newcomer 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.
Emma embarks on a journey that tests her beyond the temptation of breaking her rules. She discovers that there’s more to life than having control.
**Please Note: the Just Breathe series contains sexually explicit scenes and is suggested for audiences 18+.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the story, here’s the Synopsis for Breathe In:
I have eight golden rules when it comes to men:
1. No dating or going out on dates.
2. Never let them know where I live. Lie if I must.
3. Never pick up a guy in a particular social setting that I may frequently attend. Or, never sleep with a man whom I have the chance of running into on a regular basis.
4. Never have a guy over to my apartment for any reason. My gay best friends are the only exceptions.
5. Always end things before a guy starts to want more.
6. Always use protection.
7. Never sleep over at their place after sex. Once we’ve finished, or in most cases, they’ve finished, dress and leave.
8. Always have more than one exit strategy.
Orphaned at age sixteen, Emma, now twenty-four, has complete control of her life. She is a private, successful business woman who owns two companies and uses men for sex. When Emma’s sexual itch arises, and there are no possible male suitors to fill her need, she finds alternative means. Emma keeps most people at a distance, especially the men she has sex with, except her two best friends, Maggie and Jared. She adheres to her eight golden rules that keep her in complete control — rules that she started after having sex with the first man. Rules that keep her guarded, safe and free — but then, along came Joe Covelli.
Please note: There are sexually explicit scenes F/M and F/F/M
