To celebrate the Chasing Victory cover reveal, I’m sharing my insanely delicious recipe for vegan black bean brownies. You would never suspect that they are as healthy as a brownie will ever be because they are so decadent. I take my dessert really seriously, so you know that I’d never steer you wrong.

I have so many new books coming out this year and I’m really excited. It’s been a wild and wacky ride trying to get everything done with a new baby. I only work when he’s napping or sleeping because I want to soak up every precious moment when my son is awake. This means that I am sleep deprived, but happy.

It’s been a lot longer than planned since I released Sweet Redemption. I promise that I will never go so long between new releases again. I was busy signing with an agent, and being pregnant and navigating newborn life, all while in a pandemic. Whew! But I’ve found balance and am starting to feel productive again.

How about a new dessert to celebrate every book milestone this year? Good plan? Let me know in the comments what you want me to whip up next!
