One weekend in June, we went camping with our kids and their families. This little squirrel was very busy hauling supplies up this tree. Our old dog watched for a while but he was more interested in what the grandgirls were doing! Winners this Week If you’re a winner, you should have received an email […]
The Fact in Fiction
If you were to ask me where my ideas come from, I’d probably give you a blank stare and try to change the subject. Not because it’s not a good question—it is—but because it’s so hard to nail down. Sometimes an idea might be sparked by a conversation, by something in the news, or even […]
All in the Family – Sibling Sagas
Who is your favorite fictional family? There is something about a big family that I just love to read about. All the family dynamics that come in to play (positive and negative)! I grew up with three older brothers, so I have plenty of material to work in to my books. I have been having […]

I thought I’d share an excerpt with you and offer a giveaway. I hope you enjoy! Excerpt: From Chapter 6 I sighed. “What am […]
Do You Belong?
Belonging is a recurring theme in my 35+ stories. I could point to one after the other and explain to you why the hero or heroine feels like an outsider in their own life. In some cases, that theme is fairly hidden. In others, it’s super obvious. Take Kenna Johnson in Lavished with Lavender, which […]
Sunday Edition
In June’s Sunday Editions, we took a tour of the Kootenay region of British Columbia, Canada, from previous years. In July, we’re narrowing down to recent camping trips, still in The Koots! This spot is along Hawkins Creek. Jim and I took our new-to-us travel trailer out for a weekend shakedown cruise to see how […]
CLOSED for the Fourth of July
Happy celebrating to our American friends. We are closed today.
What are Your Favorite National Holidays?
Tomorrow is the USA Independence Day commemoration, also known as Fourth of July. There are fireworks and barbecues, and if you’re in the southern USA, they’re usually accompanied by a hot and humid summer’s day. This national holiday had me thinking about other national holidays around the world. Of course, each country has its own […]
