About Me

I’m an author and blogger at lifewritingwanderlust.com. Stories have always been at the center of my heart. I believe that stories change lives. I live with my husband and two cats: Loki & Luna, in North Dakota.

When I’m not writing or playing with my kitties, I love traveling with my husband, reading a good book, or curling up on the couch to watch a fun chick flick.

I write contemporary YA, Sweet Romance, Fantasy, and Historical Fiction. I love writing in multiple genres. I am an indie author and absolutely love the freedom that comes with it. I’m hoping to find a like-minded CP.

Love to Read

I love these books:

Chronicles of Narnia, All The Light We Cannot See, The Forgotten Garden, Screwtape Letters, and many more.

Hard No's

Offensive language.

About the WIP (Query)

Inspired by her own long-distance relationship, author Devin Joubert has crafted a delicious collection of short love stories filled with love letters, characters who are expats, study abroad students, and military couples.

Follow six couples through a moment in their long-distance relationship journeys.

If you love sweet romance, adventures abroad, long-distance relationships, and love letters then you’ll love this collection of short stories by Devin Joubert.

First Page

    Callum checked the mail on the table. It looked like his roommates had already gone through it, judging by the jumbled mess of junk mail and unopened bills piled on the kitchen table. They weren’t the cleanest or most organized crew to live with. But it worked, for now. At the bottom he spotted a purple envelope. He recognized the loopy handwriting on the outside instantly. It was addressed from the United States. There was only one person from the States who he expected to hear from. His girlfriend. They’d been going long distance for a few months. She’d come to Australia to study abroad for a semester, and that’s when they met. 

     He went to the patio and opened the letter. Small heart-shaped confetti-pieces fell out of the envelope as he slid the letter out. He opened it, and it said: 

Dear Love, 

I miss you. 

What else can I say. We’ve already been apart for a few months, and I’ve been back to classes at my college. Not to mention, it’s so cold here. It’s a big change from the warmth that Australia gives. Big change when you go from sunbathing on a gorgeous beach to having frozen hair while sitting in a hot tub outside during the windy winter. Yes, that really happens when it’s as cold as it is here in North Dakota. You’ll see when you come to visit in the winter. It’s the weirdest feeling to have your hair frozen and you can crunch it with your fingers. 

Other Projects

Also have a Christmas Novella, Valentine’s Novella (YA/NA Chick Lit & sweet romance) that are finished as well.

Future projects include more sweet romance, Chick lit, historical fiction, women’s fiction, and fantasy!!

 

Contact this CP
Before you reach out...

Here are some best practices for reaching out to a potential CP:

  • Include the link to your own CP Match profile! You can find it on your Dashboard. Don't have one yet? What are you waiting for? Anyone with a WriteOnCon.org account can make one!
  • Introduce yourself a little, and say what appealed to you about their listing.
  • Respect what's listed here in their profile. They took the time to fill it out, and they've included this information for a reason. Don't send a message about a book they specifically say is a Hard No, for example.
  • Offer to swap a small sample of your works, so you can see if you're really compatible. First chapters are a good starting place.
  • If one party no longer wants to continue the interaction, it's nobody's fault. Sometimes finding the right CP takes time.

Happy writing and CPing!
