Nov 1, 2025

There’s something about winter that always makes me want to write love stories. Maybe it’s the quiet — the way the world seems to slow down under a blanket of snow — or the way small gestures feel bigger when it’s cold outside. My newest short story, "Snowfall at Pinewood Cabin", was born from that feeling: the warmth of connection found in the coziest corners of the season.
