My thoughts on fanfic, BSB, and more!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year: SPOOKY SEASON! I’ve always loved Halloween and horror, so this week, I’m celebrating the season by blogging about the scary stories I have written. Most of my stories are scary in a “I hope this never happens in real life” kind of way, but the ones in this blog are full-on horrifying. Here are my five favorite horror fics!

Happy October! Not only is this one of my favorite times of year, but our favorite long-haired, football-loving Backstreet Boy is turning fifty-four tomorrow! In honor of Kevy Kev, this week’s blog is all about my favorite Kevin characters from my fics.
This was both an easy and hard list to put together, because, prior to 2021, I’d never written a Kevin-centered novel. If you filter my stories by boy, only two stories come up for Kevin: My Brother’s Keeper and its sequel, The World Will Be Waiting. That narrowed down my options quite a bit but made it fairly simple to rank my top five. Without further ado, here they are!

In my last blog, I celebrated the start of sweet September by writing about my favorite feel-good scenes. This week, as September winds down, I’m going in a different direction and blogging about my favorite heartbreaking, tearjerking moments. It’s time for sad September!
I’ve always loved sad stories. I find it so cathartic to have a good cry over a tragic tearjerker, and I love creating fiction that inspires the same feeling in other readers. It may sound weird, but I take it as a huge compliment when someone leaves a comment and tells me I made them cry. I don’t often make myself cry while I’m writing (although it does happen once in a while), but when I actually tear up while reading one of my own stories, I know I nailed it. With that being said, here are my top five favorite sad scenes.
It’s Sweet September! For my first retrospective blog of the month, I’m reflecting on a few of my favorite feel-good scenes. These are the light, fluffy scenes that give you a much-needed break from the tragedy and turmoil in my stories. For me, these scenes tend to be a bit more forgettable than my heavy, dramatic scenes, but they always make me smile when I reread and remember them, so I’m taking this opportunity to show them some love. Without further ado, here are my top five sweet scenes!

I’m back with the next installment of my twenty-fifth anniversary blogs, and in honor of Howie’s birthday tomorrow, I’m looking back on my five favorite fanfictional Howies! To be honest, Howie has never been one of my favorite Backstreet Boys to write about. I love him, but I also find him kind of… dare I say boring? But, over the years, I’ve learned that when I add some “flavor” to spice things up a bit, he can become an interesting character. Here are my favorite versions of Howie I’ve written.
