Let Me Reintroduce Myself

Hey, stranger, it’s been a while! In case you’ve forgotten, I’m Jax—a romance writer and avid traveler with a serious sweet tooth.

What I’ve Been Up to Since My Last Post

After a total of 1.5 years living in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, I returned to my home state of North Carolina in April 2024. No one ever talks about reverse culture shock, but it’s real, and it took me several months to reacclimate to life here in The States. I only intended to stay here for the summer, but life comes at you fast! For now, I’m based in N.C. indefinitely, but I’ll be making trips back to Vallarta, and I have experiences to share from my time there.

Currently, I’m living out my starving artist fantasy (thanks for keeping a roof over my head and food on the table, Mom!). That means I’m spending my days writing (I’ve self-published eight novellas within the last year and I’m out on submission with a full-length manuscript), working my part-time jobs, and keeping myself sane through line dancing and adult coloring (that doesn’t mean what you think it does)…and now, reviving this blog!

What to Expect Going Forward

I started this blog to put into practice the two things I hope people take away from my books:

1. Life is what you make it, and it’s up to you to enjoy the ride.

2. Shenanigans have no age. (I may be on the precipice of middle age but I’m young at heart…and in the face.)

Here in December 2024, these statements resonate more than ever. I’m looking forward to living my life so loud that the world has no choice but to listen, and I’m documenting it here.

I adore travel, desserts, and fun, so that’s what you can expect to read about! I’ll be posting here and on Instagram three times a week (usually Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday).

Thanks for taking this journey with me. See you on the next post!
