Summer break is officially in full swing here, and we’ve got the hot temps in California to prove it. How else do I know school is out? Well, the presence of my two munchkins at home all day long is a good indication as well. Since mid-June, I’ve set aside my author hat and replaced […]
Judging a Book by its Cover (+ A Cover Reveal & #Giveaway)

When Writing a Book is Like Running a Marathon + #Giveaway

When Hearts Change and a #Giveaway
Once upon a time (AKA. before I had kids) I worked in a crisis pregnancy center as a receptionist and a lay counselor. From as far back as I can remember, I’ve had a heart for the hurting, especially for women and babies, so this job was a perfect fit for me. That little clinic […]
