Fools for Love
It’s April 1st, known to many as April Fools’ Day, day marked for many by pranks and mischief (or one that goes on as normal with little notice, ha ha!). Since I recently did a post on pranks for my third Sinclair Sisters book, I won’t do a repeat of that. Instead, let’s talk about […]
How much do you love a sale?
Authors and publishers rely on a number of factors to try to get the attention of readers: pretty covers, enticing back cover descriptions, price points, blog tours, giveaways, Bookstagram, Booktok, the list goes on. One of the most effective ways is to schedule a sales promotion, with a discount or free book designed to get […]
Writers in the Wild
Have you ever met a writer in the wild? Recently, Facebook reminded me of the one-year anniversary of a time I ventured into the wild, and outside of my comfort zone, to talk to people about my writing in person.

Life was turbulent so I decided to do something different: I released all five books under a pen name. I did this mainly because I was experimenting—the stories were […]
At the Altar (and a giveaway)
I have weddings on my mind. Thirty-six years ago, as of March 21st, I walked down the aisle and into the waiting arms of my beloved. On that happy day, I couldn’t imagine how hard Joe and I would have to work for all those vows we made—for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, […]

Book Accessibility for Blind Readers
I’ve always had poor eyesight due to excessive reading without resting my eyes when I was a kid. Over the years, I’ve worn thick glasses, and I can’t see much without them. These days, I wear trifocals. My paperbacks all have slightly larger print than normal so that they’re easier for me to read them […]
Cover Reveal: Hero Debut Makes its Debut
My new book cover may be my favorite cover yet. It reminds me of other books I’ve read recently and enjoyed. But let’s talk about what I think you’ll appreciate about this book. First of all, I like the title. As the second novel in my Love Off Script series, I’d been calling it Hero […]
