Many moons ago, we saw a movie that inspired me. In the story, a young girl’s parents were authors. On deadline, they rarely spent time with her. Until they finished. When she came home from school that day, the whole family painted a room in their house. Though I’ve always made a point to work […]
Why Contemporary Romance? #Giveaway
July has swept many changes into my world. Instead of writing, I’m editing. I’ve sent rejections to writers. But while I dashed their dreams, I gave them tips on what they needed to study and hopefully encouraged them. I’ve learned that editors aren’t mean wannabe writers who want to rewrite my book. I didn’t really […]

When It Rains It Pours #Giveaway
Blessings that is. I knew book two of my Hill Country Cowboys series was releasing in mid June and my backlist title, Counting on the Cowboy was re-releasing in a western collection in mid May. But I didn’t know the collection would be in Walmart. I didn’t even look. But my husband did. It was […]
Boom! I’m an Editor #Giveaway
Back before I was published, I longed for an author to help me know what I was doing wrong. I joined a couple of local writing groups, but none of the other members were published either. As one member put it, we were the blind leading the blind. I did learn some things from the […]

A Long Time Coming #Giveaway
It’s been a long time coming. My last new title released two years ago. Hill Country Redemption was inspired by a conversation with my mom. She told me about a couple I’d gone to school with. We’ll call them Andy and Pam. They were a few years older than me. All I remembered was that […]
The Eyes Have It # Giveaway
When I try to imagine a handsome man, I come up with dark hair and green eyes every time. Like my husband and almost every other man I’ve thought was attractive. Blue eyes will do in a pinch, but only with brunette hair. I love the combo of inky brows and light eyes. I also […]
Making Memories #Giveaway
We took our only child, Logan to Bass Pro in Springfield for the first time when he was three. It was a big hit and since then the store has become a large part of our family memories. We’ve made the trip to Springfield twice more over the years. When we go to Texas to visit […]
