The Happiest Days Are When You Hear From Your Agent
A few weeks ago, my agent and I sent my editor a completed manuscript and a proposal for two other connected books to my wonderful editor at Harlequin’s Love Inspired line. There’s a lot of adrenaline that goes into this—that rush of finally typing “The End” on a book once and for all. The long […]

Judging a Book by…Well, You Know…
The phrase “you can’t judge a book by the binding” was first documented in the Journal of American Speech in 1944. Since then, the cliche has entered our lexicon as a reminder that things aren’t always what they seem. But for a reader, often the cover is the gateway to a book. It’s the first […]
