Happy December! I don’t know about you, but I feel like this year has zoomed past. I think maybe it’s because we were getting back to all the busy here and there of pre-covid days. I’m glad to be out and about again, but I’m also glad that pieces of our lives have slowed some […]
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Winter … (plus two free downloads!)
It’s December! Time to don your mittens and scarves, bundle up in your big winter coat, and crunch through the snow in your boots. Right? No? Well, that was what December meant for most of my life. I spent the majority of my years living in Illinois, with a decade in Pennsylvania thrown in there, […]
New Release and a Giveaway!
I love new releases, whether they’re my own or another author. This week, I get to celebrate the release of Waiting on the Tides, and I’m offering a giveaway of one ebook copy of the book. Waiting on the Tides is my final story in the Independence Islands series, and while I’m sad to say […]
4 Things to Love About Christmas Romances (+ #Giveaway)
I don’t know about you, but I’m one of those people who likes to keep my holidays separate. What do I mean by this? Basically, I prefer to give Thanksgiving its own special place in the month of November and wait until December to break out all the red and green decor. So now that […]
Destination Christmases
Do you travel for Christmas? It’s been years since my crew has been away from home on Christmas. We have a lot of family we’re close to, which used to mean a lot of obligations over the holidays. As much as we loved everyone, it was exhausting. My husband and I decided early on that […]
How to Conclude a Series
I’ve written a number of series now. Over the past year I’ve released the Original Six and Muskoka romance series (the latter is still ongoing), and next year will see the release of the Northwest Ice hockey romance series, and the Trinity Lakes series I’m in with Inspy’s Narelle Atkins. I’ve written a number of […]
Invitation to a Cozy Christmas
I’m a sucker for anything cozy. Crackling fireplaces, a steaming mug of coffee, or snuggling under a blanket when the temperature outside falls. Add a good book set at Christmas time and you’ve got yourself just about the perfect combination! I had the pleasure of joining together with three other CCR authors to bring readers […]
Sunday Edition
Happy Sunday! We hope our American readers enjoyed a lovely and blessed Thanksgiving. I will admit, being an Aussie, I’m intrigued by the traditional Thanksgiving recipes and photos that are everywhere on social media at this time of year. I regularly watch cooking videos on YouTube that I justify as not being a procrastination activity […]
A Thankful Week (#NationalBibleWeek #Thanksgiving)
Did you have a good Thanksgiving (if you’re in the USA)? Not only is this week Thanksgiving week, it’s also National Bible Week. I thought the combined week is appropriate because it’s a reminder that our Thanksgiving stems from God blessing us and that many of His blessings are recorded in His Word. What are […]
Characters and Birth Order
Years ago, I was fascinated by Dr. Kevin Leman’s The Birth Order Book: why you are the way you are. He talks about firstborns, only kids, middle kids, and lastborns. He talks about how gender plays a role in what you’re like, especially if your parents drew traditional gender lines. And he talked about age […]
