Do you smile when you look through old photographs of places you have been on your vacations and remember the sights and sounds? It seems that our world is now divided into before versus during the pandemic. We are not out of the woods yet, and many people are not traveling outside their own comfort […]
Why I Write Beach Romance (and #giveaway)
Do you read romantic fiction set on the beach? Do you remember something when you read these beach romances? A memory, perhaps? Or a favorite family vacation? I write in multiple genres, but where contemporary Christian romance is concerned, my story world stretches from big cities to small towns, and from mountains to the beaches. I […]
Tomorrow is National Parents’ Day
Did you know that every fourth Sunday in July is National Parents’ Day in the USA? Well, I didn’t either. I knew about Grandparents’ Day (the Sunday after Labor Day) and Children’s Day (second Sunday in June). Of course, we all know when Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are (yes, every day is Mother’s Day […]
Five Years Deep and a Mile High (And #FreeBook)
I know it’s hyperbolic, but it does feel that way to me when it comes to the books I have yet to start or finish reading. Yes, my to-be-read pile is indeed five years (or more) deep and a mile (or more) high. For example, once upon a time I bought Book 1 by an […]
More of This, Less of That (and #freebook)
What was the last romance novel you read? When you finished the book, did you say, “More, please?” Or did you go, “I want to read less of that type of story?” I was reading a novel that I thought was going to be romantic, or at least would have romantic elements in it. It […]

Honey, I Shrunk Our Marriage… (#Giveaway and #FreeBook)

Dreaming of a Castle Wedding… (Plus #FreeBook)
I know, right? What was I thinking? For a romance novelist who prefers beach weddings (and the occasional landlocked weddings), I don’t know what came over me when I decided to be adventurous and write a romance novella with a wedding set in a castle. Perhaps to other authors, it’s no big deal, but to […]
First Lines! (And Free eBook)
Happy new year, readers! To be honest, it might take me a while to write “2021” when I’m writing down dates. I’m trying to make sure I don’t revert back to “2020” for the next few weeks. Speaking of firsts, since this is the first month of the year, I thought it might be fun to […]
Have Yourself a Merry Reading Christmas (with a Gift Card #Giveaway)
Ah, it’s December again. The air feels festive, and Christmas Day is just around the corner. All my decorations are up. What about you? My family and I try to keep the decorations simple because the simpler they are, the faster it will be to put them away come January. Besides decorating for Christmas, what […]
