Hello Reader

This is a very special episode of What Was I Thinking so I'm blasting the full list. My daughter Delainey jumps on to break down fanfic, reveal why she is so secretive about her own writing, and shares her thoughts on Afternoon Delight--including how weird it is to read a love scene written by your mom.

Have a listen, then pre-order Afternoon Delight.

Afternoon Delight

Playful afternoons turn into something deeper…

Freshly divorced and nearing forty, Meg regrets making all the safe choices. When her best friend needs surgery, Meg puts her accounting career on hold to run her friend’s racy adult toy shop—but her vanilla life never prepared her for this!

At thirty-two, Zak leaves the tech world for his dad’s antique store, wanting time with him before dementia erases his father’s memories. He’s Meg’s landlord, but she becomes his confidante, distracting him from his troubles with her suggestive puns and amusing misadventures.

Flirty banter leads to test-driving toys together, but Meg knows they won’t last. Their age-gap puts them in different life-stages and she lives in Toronto. A few afternoons of delight can’t change her life. Or can they?

Afternoon Delight is a stand-alone, slow-burn to steamy older woman/younger man romance. No cliffhangers, no cheating, just laughs, chemistry, and heart.
