If you ask me what the best candy is, I’ll answer instantly: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. They’re the ultimate peanut butter and chocolate combo—sweet, salty, creamy, and honestly impossible to beat.

Five things I do purely for fun… First will always be writing—my books, my podcast scripts, any story that wants to be told. It’s tied for first place with time spent with my granddaughters.
