Do you ever feel burnt out and in need of pulling back from something for a bit? This is a hypothetical question, of course, as burnout seems to be a universal symptom of humanity—at least for most of us in modern day. It is for sure true for authors, and you may be surprised to […]

Team Work Makes the Dream Work (+ Pre-Order!)
It takes a team of people to get a story from a bunch of words to a polished book ready for public consumption. If you’ll allow me to bend the sports team metaphor a bit, even in writing we have those who play on the offensive side and others on the defensive side. I’d like […]
Romance Off the Page + Giveaway
Deemed the “month of love” by many, February often makes people think of romance, grand gestures, and happy endings. As readers and writers of romance, I think it’s safe to say most of us enjoy escaping into the picture-perfect pages of love found in CCR books. Sigh-inducing endings. Foot-popping kisses perfectly staged as snow begins […]
New Year & New Releases
Over the last few years, I’ve written so much that reading has sadly taken a backseat. I’ve snuck small moments to devour titles here and there of books I just couldn’t wait to read. But, by and large, I’ve let my To Be Read pile grow staggeringly tall. One thing I’ve learned is that no […]

Last week, I revealed the cover of the fourth and final novel in my Laurel Cove Romance (LCR) Series. I’ll tell you more about that in a bit, but I’m as my series draws to a close, I’m dealing with a mixed bag of emotions. Since 2014, when I began to write Someplace Familiar, my […]
Fall Into Reading + Giveaway
I’m one of those basic loves-everything-about-fall women. The sights, smells, traditions. It’s all so ahhh-inducing! Living in Texas after spending a decade of gorgeous autumns in North Carolina, the reprieve that the season brings from our sweltering summers is also a huge plus! Being in Texas also means that I’ll spend a good bit of […]
When Writers Don’t Want to Write (+Giveaway)
As a writer, I’ve experienced my fair share of obstacles on the harrowing journey of drafting a new story. At the most inopportune times—usually when a deadline looms—writer’s block strikes or any of life’s other obligations can get in the way. While I flit around running to school events, attending church functions, or seeing to […]
