In case you didn’t know, I have a background in psychology, which explains why I love to write and read character-driven stories.

E-books or Print books? + #Giveaway
Here’s your question of the day: e-books or print books—which do you prefer? I’ll give you my take on this, first as a reader, then as an author. As a reader who grew up in the “dark ages” (AKA. before the internet, cell phones, e-anything), I think print books have a bit of nostalgia attached […]

Top 10 Cheesy Pick-Up Lines + #Giveaway
Confession time: I love cheesy pick-up lines. Why, you ask? I think it’s because I appreciate a good sense of humor. It’s a good thing I married a man with one, although I didn’t know how funny he’d become with time. (The dad jokes are strong with this one. Ha!) I also believe life is […]

I promise you that the title of this post was not clickbait. :) According to a couple of my readers, I have written books with unlikeable heroines. Let me give you a few examples of what their reviews said: “I didn’t like (the heroine) very much, for a Christian, she was too judgemental.” “(The heroine) […]
