Have you ever been to an escape room? You know, one of those puzzle places where you pay to find clues to get out of a maze or room? You’d have to do it within a certain period of time or you lose the game. No refund! I kid you not, I was so stressed […]
Getting Everything Done
Did you get everything done this year? How did it go? What does “everything” mean to you? Every year’s end, there seems to be a rush to make new year resolutions that run the gamut from exercising and dieting to being more productive and self-confident to whatever is cool and hot. I find it ironic […]
I Love Christian Romance Because… (and #Giveaway)
I’m back at work writing my 29th book. I can’t wait to tell you the story of two people who have been waiting on the sidelines for several years for me to get to their story. So many books to write, so little time. In any case, Avery Chung’s story is coming soon in His […]
The Wind Ceased
How big is your faith? Is it wave-sized or is it God-sized? Last week, I had a good cry. I’ve been walking with Jesus through the ups and downs of life since 1988, when He saved my soul. Fast forward thirty three years later: suddenly COVID. If you’ve gone through this dreaded virus, you know what […]
International Travel Romance (and #Giveaway)
Do you smile when you look through old photographs of places you have been on your vacations and remember the sights and sounds?

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 […]
