Very excited to share the art I commissioned from @kidovna of Caroline and Max from my Kiss Pitch book, Key to My Heart! It is completely gorgeous and I am so in love! I had to show it off! Getting ready to query this story is scary, so I’m going to stare at this to calm down.

Have you ever wondered what happens when you go on a dating show and fall for a crew member instead of a contestant?

You shouldn’t.

@megmbeasley Actually, no! In library and information science.

I haven’t been on here much lately because sometimes it feels overwhelming. But today I signed up for classes to go back to school and get a new degree, and I’m very proud of myself and want to celebrate! Here’s my excited face after hitting Enroll! 2023 is for new beginnings!

Carter is one of the contestants on the show who is the person you want to stick with during an unfamiliar experience. He is kind and loves to share facts and goes with the flow. He’s down to belt out ABBA and Queen during karaoke. He’s also happy to gossip when needed.

Something feels so honest and raw between us right now. It’s so much more real than anything the show has given me. It’s exactly the feeling I’d been wanting. I think of everything I’ve shared with him and if I’ll ever feel comfortable doing so on the show. #FridayKiss

I could have answered both sides for so many of these! #romtalk

Caroline and Max would make a point to find a neighborhood with the best lights and wander through with hot chocolate. Caroline makes him pick cookie recipes and they make a bunch of different ones together. #romtalk

@JHamiltonAuthor @mallory_marlowe It’s on my TBR too! I need to get to break soon so I can start it!

[Gretchen Timpe @gretchen_timpe]

Sadly, I do not have any holidays in Key. (If I ever finish my other WIP there will be holidays! 💪) But Caroline’s favorite holiday is Christmas. Her family is big and a bit dysfunctional, but they’re all together at Christmas and that’s why she loves it. #romtalk

@KarsynWrites YESSSSSS oh my god someone needs to write it. I just absolutely love that movie!

[Gretchen Timpe @gretchen_timpe]

Hi, I’m Gretchen, a writer and reader of romance! My favorite holiday romance is In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren!

[Gretchen Timpe @gretchen_timpe]

@CsGwrites Omg I remember it! I was weirdly thinking about it the other day!
