So, you may be thinking, “Laurie, we’ve been on lockdown and staying home for eight months now. Why this post now?” With the COVID pandemic seemingly hitting a strong second act, with numbers increasing again after a summer of inching downwards, and with no normalcy in sight, I thought I would share some insights I’ve […]
We’ve Been Boo’d!
For the last two years, in my mostly adult-laden neighborhood, around this time of year, a fun practice has emerged. A surprise package appears on your doorstep. Usually contained in a plastic pumpkin bucket or a white bag resembling a ghost, it sits there awaiting your discovery. Inside, you open it up, your heart beating […]
It’s Christmas Time for the Matchmaking Moms!
October 7 sees the release of the final book in my Matchmaking Moms of Oceanview Church series that I “rapid released” over a period of five months. So far we’ve met Dahlia, Lily and Rose, the three moms of adult children who had stalled out in the love department. They banded together to form a […]

Finding God’s Message Through His Word

Wikipedia describes a workaholic as “a person who works compulsively. The person works at the cost of their sleep, meeting friends or family. While the term […]
Let the Games Begin!
In June, I released Book 1 of my new Matchmaking Moms of Oceanview Church series. Here’s my blog post about it to refresh your memory. Meet the Moms was a short prologue novella to introduce the matchmakers. Book 2 (Finding Love for the Loner) will release July 7. My hope was that the short novella […]
Time to Meet the Moms! (and a giveaway)
June 7 is a big day, and it’s just around the corner. It’s not only my fifty-(mumble mumble)”th” birthday. It’s the release date for my new book Meet the Moms! I want to tell you all about my new book, but I digress just a moment. I love releasing new books on significant days. My […]
Matchmaking Moms Approach the Starting Gate!
Back in my December InspyRomance post I described a whole new approach for writing and releasing my new series. Instead of writing a book and releasing it, I’d write the entire series (or close to it) and then use a Rapid Release approach. Starting with my birthday June 7, I’ll be releasing one book on […]
And the Lights Went Out on Broadway …
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
