Birthday.

​As my birthday approaches, I always pause to reflect on the precious moments over the last year that have enriched my writing and my life. I know that each of the novels I have created comes from a blend of happy times and sad times, mixed with my unique voice and parts of my soul.

This month, I want to tell you all the things I am grateful for. I am alive another year, and I have another year to write, love, and laugh. That is a magnificent blessing.

I am happy for the blank page that holds nothing but possibilities.
I am joyful over the characters whispering their secrets at night.
I appreciate the readers who understand me and my work and those who fall in love with my heroes and heroines.
I am thankful for my fellow writers who have helped me in my journey…
Finally, I am blessed to have an entire book flow from my fingertips onto a page and somehow end up in your hands. That truly is magic.

Thank you to all of you out there—to every cherished reader, to every heartfelt connection, and to that special moment when stories bring us together.

With gratitude,
C.M.
