♥ Secret Identity
♥ Celebrity Crush
♥ Soul Mates
After her mother’s cancer goes into remission, Kasa is finally ready to move away from her parents and meet up with her best friend in Atlanta so they can chase their childhood dreams together.
But when the celebrity author who she’s been in love with since she was a teenager (and whose fan club she’s been the president of for just as long) waltzes into the grocery store where she works, her life takes a turn that knocks her off course in all the best ways.
The Christmas Proof is a slow-paced, low-stakes romantic novella with a spicy center.

ALPHAS, BETAS, & ARCs
ALPHA READERS: Read a rough draft of a book and give the first round of public feedback to help me make it stronger.
If you’re the kind of person who can give “big picture” feedback without getting caught up in minute details (spelling, punctuation, etc.), becoming an alpha reader may be an awesome fit for you!
Check out my latest Alpha Reader campaign and sign up if you’re interested!
BETA READERS: Read a semi-final draft of a book and give your reaction to it. Your comments will help me promote the book in the weeks and months leading up to release.
You can review my latest Beta Reader campaign and sign up for it if it sounds like the kind of book you usually like reading.
ARC REVIEWERS: Read and leave a review for a free copy of the finished book that you get earlier than the general public get copies of my books that are ready for publication.
Being an alpha, beta, or ARC reviewer works best if you are:
- A member of the book’s target audience. If you mostly read crime thrillers, being asked to read a romantic comedy probably isn’t going to go well for you or me. If you know a book isn’t your cup of tea, or you aren’t open-minded and willing to give it a fair shake, don’t waste your own time by signing up for that particular project. Wait until something that better fits your reading patterns comes along.
- Free enough to read the book relatively quickly. You don’t have to get it all read in a single night, or even a week. But getting the book read and submitting your reaction / publishing your review onto sales platforms within 30 days is a reason time frame for most books and most people’s schedules. If you know that you’re too busy with school, work, parenting, caregiving, or some other massively time-consuming stuff, it’s okay to pass on a project because you simply don’t have the time. Don’t wear yourself thin by adding the reading to your already-full plate!
- A regular user of book review and sales sites if you’re an ARC reviewer. Bookbub, Amazon, Audible, and Goodreads are great examples. If you don’t have profiles on these sites, you can create them for the first time when you’re ready to review an ARC. But taking on an ARC without having these kinds of profiles, and with no intent on creating any, puts severe limitations on how supportive you can be with your review. You can send the review directly to the author, share it as a post on social media, and share it with your blog followers / newsletter subscribers if you have them, but that’s about it.
