It’s the month of June and officially wedding season. Don’t believe me, just look and see how many of your Facebook friends start posting their wedding (or anniversary) photos, informing people how many years they’ve been married. In fact, my anniversary was on the 3rd (celebrated 17!). So I thought it would be fun to talk […]
The Not-So Glamorous Life
I’m a published author. Did you think to yourself: that’s so amazing! Her life must be awesome. If so, let me take you inside to the not-so glamorous life of writing. Now, I’m not trying to be a downer or ignore how blessed I am to be a published author. I’d just like to give […]
The Setting + #Giveaway
The Setting. Every book has one. Some are fictional. Some are real. But all are essential to the story and can help bring the story alive. So how do authors choose settings? Well, I asked a few friends and I’ll also tell you how I chose the setting of the manuscript I’m currently writing. So […]
The Joy of Reading
The Book of James tells us to “count it all joy” during trials. I admit, sometimes it’s hard to count my blessings when faced with adversity. But today, when I was thinking on it, I remembered how much the joy of reading has helped me. Reading can be the ultimate escape experience. It can take […]
From the Ground Up + #Giveaway
Have you ever wondered what kind of research and information goes into an author building a fictional country? For my newest release (Happy Release Day to me!), I decided to create a fictional country for the setting of In Search of a Prince. You say Brielle Adebayo, a 8th-grade civics teacher, discovers she’s really an African princess […]
Most Anticipated Indie CCR Reads of 2022
So my title was getting long and doesn’t express everything I wanted to say. For instance, you may not realize that CCR stands for Christian contemporary romance and Indie means independently published. I also didn’t get to say that my list only contains books from the first quarter. I figured I’d be here all day […]
My Top 10 CCR Reads of 2021 + #Giveaway
Happy December, Friends! This month, I thought I’d share my favorite Christian contemporary romance reads of 2021. I know the year isn’t technically over, but I’ve been reading a lot in other genres and don’t see myself reading any new CCR until the clock strikes 2022. The next time you read a post of mine, […]
Sufficient Grace + #Giveaway
Happy November!! This year has really flown by and I can’t believe that I get to kick off this month’s blogging. Maybe because the year has flown by but has also still been impacted by covid, it seems unreal that November is now up on the calendar. And maybe because of covid and a whole […]
A Life to Live + #Giveaway
In January 2014, I made a New Year’s resolution to finally write a book from start to finish. Up until that point, I’d start a book then stop. I’d taken creative writing classes while pursuing a degree and fell in love with writing. I just couldn’t seem to finish a story. I’m usually anti New […]
Fall in Maple Run + #Giveaway
September 1st. A day that makes me smile and one that has my internal clock dreaming of all things fall. You know: pumpkin-flavored everything, apple cider, changing leaves, FOOTBALL, and cooler weather after sweltering heat. Oh and let’s not forget cute sweaters, open-front cardigans, boots, blankets, and a good book to curl up with! Obviously […]
