What was the one thing that made the severity of the Coronavirus Pandemic truly hit home to you? Things are changing so quickly. Just three weeks ago I had a full weekend of plans outside the house. Then, boom! Social distancing, self-quarantine, stay at home. I remember when I heard the NCAA basketball tournament would […]
Getting It Right
You can learn a lot from reading fiction. As a reader, I love when an author paints a rich story between the covers of her book, complete with settings so well described you can picture them in your mind, back stories of the characters meted out gradually so I understand why they act the […]
2020 Is Shaping Up to Be a Productive Year! (and a giveaway)
Two years ago, I retired from the big corporate job and the hectic lifestyle that went along with it. Rewarding! Productive! Challenging! But also busy, draining, exhausting. One year ago, my husband and I relocated to our paradise, the South Carolina Lowcountry, where I spend my days sleeping in (when the new puppy allows it), […]

Shaking It Up a Bit!
What do you think of when I say Process Improvement? Be honest. Does this term make you roll your eyes, yawn, maybe even snore a little bit?

The place you feel the most peaceful, the place you dream to be when […]
A Dog’s Love (+ a Giveaway)
Do you love dogs? I know there are cat lovers out there too, but in my experience there’s really nothing that quite compares with the love of a dog! As I was growing up, my family had several dogs. My parents got Goldie when I was a baby so she and I grew up […]
Setting as Character
My very first inspirational romance was Preacher Man, published in 2009. I’d written books before, but this was the first time I recognized the nudge from God that I should be writing love stories that give all the glory to Him! It was a story about a newly divorced mom of a teenaged son, maneuvering […]
Try the Chocolate!
In my latest inspy romance, Seized, (released July 9, 2019) I’ve paired up kind and faithful Gloria Lockwood with Alejandro Rojas, a rugged loner who has never put a high priority on his own love life. Gloria is sort of an angel on earth. When her older sister and brother-in-law died tragically in a house […]
Who Are My Country Music Fans Out There?
This weekend, I’m attending the Carolina Country Music Fest! A huge celebration of country music with 30,000 attendees, and currently, thirty four artists playing! As a birthday present for myself, I splurged on a three-day pass and my sister-in-law, also a country music fan, is flying in from Philadelphia to go with me. I can’t […]
