I’m excited to introduce you to Toby Carmichael, the sweet baby in And Cowboy Makes Three, my current release.

Another Summer, Another Year!
It’s Finally Summer! In the Northern Hemisphere, that is. For me, this is a bittersweet summer.

Faith is a Choice
Faith. It’s a little word with a LOT of meaning. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people say that something didn’t come to pass because they didn’t have enough faith. I’ve struggled with that very thing myself more times than I’d like to admit, and there have been instances where it was […]
My Word of the Year, Why I Write, & Giveaway
I’ve been pondering my word of the year since at least November. Several came to me. Nothing seemed quite right. Then this week happened. Last weekend, I was in Kansas City with Mikal Dawn for a writing weekend. She left several hours earlier than planned on Sunday due to incoming ice. I was finally starting […]
Love is… Finale + Giveaway
It is fitting that this final segment of our Love is… series falls two days before Christmas, a day we celebrate one of the most crucial, selfless acts of love — the birth of Jesus. He knew when He chose to come how it would all end, and He did it anyway. He gave up […]
