There’s nothing like January 1 getting closer and closer to ignite a sense of anticipation and excitement. New beginnings. Opportunities. If you’re like me, you’ve already got an eye on books coming in 2023. What are you excited to read in the new year? Readers often ask me what I’m reading or looking forward to […]
Invitation to a Cozy Christmas
I’m a sucker for anything cozy. Crackling fireplaces, a steaming mug of coffee, or snuggling under a blanket when the temperature outside falls. Add a good book set at Christmas time and you’ve got yourself just about the perfect combination! I had the pleasure of joining together with three other CCR authors to bring readers […]
Might I Suggest… (A Book Recommendation)
I’m in the middle of a writing break, which means more time for reading! I have so many Contemporary Christian Romance authors I would call “favorites.” At the tip-top of that list is Melissa Tagg because her stories are consistently entertaining with deep characters, rich plots, and the most satisfying romance. Just this week I […]
Books That Make Us Think + Giveaway
Today in America is the National Day of Forgiveness. In a country where we’ve set aside days to celebrate trivial things like corned beef, scarves, and crushing cans (all also today!), I can actually get behind taking time to focus on forgiving others. Books, too, can serve as reminders for important themes that need attention […]
An Anniversary and Books with Mature Couples
Last month my husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary and I’m still feeling sappy about it. So, I hope you’ll indulge me another post inspired by my own real-life romance! With every year that passes, I appreciate more and more how romance changes and gets better with time. That’s not to say it’s been […]

We first “met” back in the late 90s on AOL, but neither were looking for love. I was living in Florida and had recently decided to attend college in North Carolina. I wandered into […]
Series Covers That Make an Impression
Earlier this month, K. Leah shared about the evolving covers of her Finding Home Series in this post. I’ve always loved her beautiful, soft, romantic covers! It got me thinking about other series whose covers have made an impression. Like K. Leah, I have a professional background in graphic design and have designed all of […]
How Readers Help Combat Author Burnout
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 […]

Today is the release day for The 80s Rom-Com Club collection! Every book birthday is fun, but there’s something especially thrilling when I get to share the day with five other contemporary romance authors! Add in 1980s nostalgia, movies, and getting to include YOU, and we’ve got ourselves a party! This collection includes novellas by […]
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 […]
