The Good, The Bad and the Ugly of 2020...

I think it goes without saying – I will not be shedding any tears when I say goodbye to 2020 on New Year’s Eve. I will raise a glass (and possibly my middle finger) and usher in 2021 with a smile.

But I do want to look back at the good things that were accomplished in 2020. While being under lock-down and quarantine due to COVID-19 left me a little stir crazy, it did most certainly give me the added time and renewed focus to achieve some things I might not have otherwise been able to do.

So, hats off to getting shit done in 2020!
  • Ended the year with 32 published books in my portfolio
  • Published 6 new books (completed 9 books – 2 which will be published in early January and 1 other for a charity anthology in February 2021)
  • Published 3 audiobooks (2 with Tantor Media and 1 with Cocky Hero Club) and self-published 1 audiobook, Reckless
  • Signed a contract for hockey romance with Heart Eyes Publishing to be published in early summer 2021
  • Curated a 15-author collective to write a shared world series called The All American Boy Series (releases begin January 25th, 2021)
  • Signed audiobook contract for Change of Course with Tantor (TBD 2021)
  • Wrote and published 303,301 words!!!
  • Won 2 awards – Game Changer was a runner up in the Buyers Best Book Awards and won the 2020 RONE Award from InD’Tale Magazine
  • Created a YouTube channel in May and interviewed/produced the Sierra Talks Books with Authors segment (a total of 13 videos!)

​Sure, there were some really cruddy parts of the year and goals I didn’t reach that I would’ve liked to hit, but all-in-all, I’m happy with where things landed.

I’m also so excited to share the wonderful things I have planned for next year! One hint: it has to do with a new pen name or maybe even two!
Stay tuned for more!

In the meantime, make sure to add my January book releases, Change of Course and The Boy Next Door, to your Goodreads TBRs and get ready for what is sure to be a fabulous year of reading!

All my best for a very happy holiday season.

Be Sweet. Love Hard. Read Dirty.
Xoxo, Sierra

Holiday Happenings...

​I don’t want to jinx us, but we’ve almost made it through the end of this mucked up year! We should celebrate this success and look back on 2020 as the year the universe told us to ‘slow down’ and ‘stay put.’

There is no denying that this year has made us all aware of how fragile and fleeting life can be and how difficult it is when we’re told we can’t do the things we normally do. But look at how resilient it’s made us! We’ve come together in far greater ways than ever before, relying on technology to keep us connected and focusing on the small things that make life bearable.

Another way we’ve found connection is through entertainment, such as TV shows, On Demand movies and of course, books. Lots and lots of books! I don’t know about you, but there was a few months this past summer where I couldn’t even pick up a new book to read. I just didn’t have it in me. But I’m past all that and for those of you who read romance, there has been no shortage of new books this year – all available at our fingertips!

And speaking of new books, I have a new release coming out just in time for the Christmas holiday! The Knight Before Christmas (A Mountain Man Holiday Short Story) is (you guessed it) a short holiday story about a mountain man and the woman that rescues him. Well, technically, he actually rescues her from peril when her car breaks down on Knight’s Mountain in the middle of a Christmas Even snowstorm. But she saves him emotionally with her love, kindness and generosity of spirit.

And that’s really what the holidays are all about, right? Love. Family. Kindness. Gratitude. And the act of giving.

The Knight Before Christmas
releases on December 8th and is the first book in the Mountain Man Holiday Short Story series, with other books from the Flirt Club authors scheduled to release after. Get it for FREE on Kindle Unlimited and add it to your Goodreads TBR here.

If you’re reading this, I wish you the happiest and healthiest of holiday seasons. May it bring you joy and peace, and a time for reflection on all the positive experiences you gained out of this hellacious year.

All my best for a very happy holiday season.
Be Sweet. Love Hard. Read Dirty.
Xoxo, Sierra

Aging Parents, Award Winning Book, The BIG         5-0 and New Audiobook Release...

So much is going on in the month of October for me and I wanted to highlight all the good things that have me reflecting on how blessed I am to live the life that I do.

I’m currently writing this post from my parents’ home in Phoenix, AZ, where I’ve come down to visit my ailing father. The last time I visited was pre-pandemic, back in mid-January. Since then, my dad’s health has declined rapidly, and he’s had surgery and radiation for melanoma that’s reached his leg bone. It’s so difficult to see him in such pain and be unable to do anything for him. And my mother, bless her soul, is doing the best she can to care for him even though she’s not in the best shape, either, and struggles to walk.

I know so many of us go through these hardships and it’s tough to manage and know what to do in these situations. Especially when we don’t live near our families, which is the case in my case. If you read this and have suggestions on how to manage these things from afar, I’d greatly appreciate an email with your thoughts.

But I digress. This month has also been a celebration, which included a new book releasing (Stuck-Up Big Shot in all formats) and my sports romance, Game Changer, which won the 2020 RONE Award prize for best romance in the Cops, Jocks and Cowboys category! What an honor and I’m so humbled by the recognition given this single father of a special needs boy and nanny romance.

I also just released a new audiobook. My 3-book menage serial, Reckless: The Smoky Mountain Trio is now available in ebook, print and in Audible. Narrated by the amazing team of Kylie Stewart and Teddy Hamilton, this 9.5-hour audiobook is an epic, steamy tale of an unconventional love between London, Cameron and Sage, three lifelong friends who soon realize their love is something unique and special.

You can listen to it on Audible here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KDWDKBT
And lastly, I’m saying goodbye to my 40’s as I turn 50 on October 28th. While it’s not the birthday bash I had hoped for, at least I’m able to celebrate it with all those that I hold near and dear to my heart.

Stay tuned for upcoming teasers of the third and final book in the Change of Hearts series, Change of Course, which will be releasing in early December.

Until then, Be Sweet, Love Hard and Read Dirty.
