Today’s the day! If you pre-ordered The Cowboy’s Convenient Marriage, it should have downloaded to your Kindle this morning. Have you started reading it yet? This is the thirtieth CCR (Christian contemporary romance) released under my name since July, 2014. Five years! And thirty books! What kind of crazy number is that?!? That’s not counting […]

Sunday Edition
Lilacs are one of my favorite spring flowers. They bloomed here a little later this year. Usually they’re in full bloom by Mother’s Day, but this year it was May Long (if you don’t know what that is, you didn’t read my Sunday Edition last week!) Do you have lilacs where you live? When do […]
Sunday Edition
Happy Victoria Day Weekend! (also titled, Happy Sunday from Canada!) Victoria Day falls on the third Monday of May and is celebrated in Canada and Scotland. Not in England, I hear, even though it honors Queen Victoria, who was born May 24, 1819. Why on earth does Canada celebrate Victoria and not the birthday of […]
Convenient… or Not So Much?
You know what’s a tricky trope to write? Marriage of convenience in a contemporary setting! I mean, what makes two otherwise rational and engaging characters decide to get married in this day and age without love? Historical settings are rife with good reasons to do this. Women needed protection back then, whether from rogue men […]
Sunday Edition
Happy Mother’s Day! Whether you’re a mom, a foster mom, a grandma, an aunt, a daughter, a niece, a best friend, a mentor, or whichever, let’s celebrate the women in our lives who are right there when we need them. Mother’s Day can be a sad time, too, remembering those who’ve gone on before. How […]
Sunday Edition
Welcome to May! Is there a lovelier time of year? I posit that there isn’t, at least in the northern hemisphere. When I think of May’s opposite, it brings me to November, the dreariest, rainiest, foggiest, miserabalist month! Sorry, those of you south of the equator. But May. It’s a time for blossoms and tea, […]
Interview with a (fictional) Romance Editor
Denae Archibald bounces in her seat, eyes shining. “This is going to be so fun!” she says. “Romance is my favorite thing ever.” “You’re considered somewhat of an expert,” I say. “Could you tell our readers why?” “Hi, everyone!” Denae waves at all the fans of Inspy Romance. She’s still bouncing. “Well, there’s expert and […]
Confused Yet? …plus #Giveaway
Confused yet? Because, if not, I can remedy the situation! Once upon a time, I wrote a series I called the Farm Fresh Romance series. It contains six novels, all set on one farm in northern Idaho. There were a couple of sets of siblings in the mix, but the focus was on friendships on […]
How Do You Respond to Adversity?… plus #giveaway
Ever have a day (week? month? year?) when Murphy’s law kicks in? Everything that could possibly go wrong… just did. Sure, there might’ve been a pleasant moment or two in there as well, but it seems those were only in there to get your hopes up so they could be crushed again! As much as […]
Sunday Edition
Welcome to the last Sunday in January! I’ve been sharing some of my favorite local snow photos (most taken in January sometime in the past few years) but for today, I want to share The Big Snowfall that took place the first week of February, 2017. Our youngest granddaughter had just been born, and Grandpa […]
