I’m finishing up a non-fiction book right now where my editor and I break down ALL the “types” of romance characters that we could think of. Billionaires, Cowboys, Widows, Single Parents, Athletes, Pirates, and on and on. It’s been a super fun project (and I’m learning a lot). When we were only three weeks out […]
The book most likely to…
Last weekend, I attended a writing retreat with a big group of wonderful women. One of the fun things we did was submit “superlative” awards for everyone at the conference. Mine was “Most likely to have a spreadsheet for that” which is 100% accurate and probably tells you a lot about me! So, I thought […]
Rom-com recommendation: Sweet Peach Series
Hello there! While I’m on a deadline, I’m also in procrastination level: expert mode… So I’ve obviously been reading. A lot. I’ve tackled a lot of books on my to-be-read list, but I’ve also detoured and read some books I didn’t plan on. The series I’m going to talk about today is a little bit […]

Just this morning, I was notified that a young father of two in my circle succumbed to incurable brain cancer, while two weeks ago a 13 […]
Widows and Widowers in CCR
I’ve been doing a lot of work on a side project lately that has involved examining some of the common characters in romance (cowboys, billionaires, athletes, law enforcement, etc). One of the characters that I have been spending some time studying recently is Widows and Widowers. I love these stories, but I only recently understood […]
Reading and Writing in a Story Universe
I don’t know that I ever thought too much about it, but soon after we write our first book, we as authors have to make a decision about book number two. Namely, does the story and the characters of book number two happen in the same “world” as book number one? And if it does, […]
Walking through a Reading Slump
For a reader, there are few things as frustrating as when you get in a reading slump. Surely, you know what I mean? When nothing grabs your attention enough to start reading it. Or, if you do start, everything falls a little flat and doesn’t keep you engaged. When you put it down, they aren’t […]
Writer’s Process: From First Idea to Final Formatting
Have you ever wondered what goes into writing a book? How do we as authors actual take it from idea to published novel? Every author is different, but I thought I’d give you a bit of a behind the scenes look at my process. One thing that is a bit strange for me is that […]
