I have a big favor to ask. You see, I’ve been sitting on a contemporary romance story idea for a long time. One that will likely eventually kick off a new series! In fact, I’ve even started writing it. However, for several months I’ve let other things take top pilling over getting it done. Important […]
The Journey of Forgiveness
I’ve mentioned before how forgiveness is one of the hardest things for me as a person. I want to forgive, but the lingering doubt and sense of betrayal keep me from offering the true ‘forgive and forget’ that I think we’re responsible for. I address this type of betrayal and heartache in my upcoming Love […]
Starting in the Middle
There is a writing book called Write Your Novel from the Middle by James Scott Bell. I confess I have not read it, but I do wonder how that works. I’m what they call a “pantser.” I write by the seat of my pants. I have characters and an inciting incident to start my books. […]
The Music of Romance
Since I was a child, I have had a soul-deep love for music. I began playing the piano by ear at age six. I’m no child prodigy by any means, but I have a genetic ability to “sound out” any song on the piano. It took me some time to realize that not every other […]
Journeys of Faith and Joy in Unexpected Places
Hello dear readers! As the holiday season rolls in, it’s the perfect time to talk about journeys. Not just the kind that involves packing bags, but the ones that pack memories and moments of self-discovery. In my book, Royally Unexpected, I explored this theme through Emmie and Dorian’s adventure across the U.S., where each stop […]
A Season of Change
Do you handle change well? I don’t. Which means that right now, I’m struggling. You see, I worked part-time from home for the past five years while I stayed home with my kids. In August of this year, my youngest went to Kindergarten, and this mom rejoined the full-time workforce. Talk about change. While the […]
Counting Down to Christmas
I know, I know, it’s barely November. And I am a huge proponent of Thanksgiving (and not skipping over it), but also? I love the Christmas season. I love the decorations (Nativity sets are a favorite). I love the joyful anticipation that fills the air. I love the music. And honestly, I don’t even mind […]
Sneak Peek of Fiancé Finale
Now that Hero Debut has released, I’m editing book three in the Love Off Script Series. And Fiancé Finale just might be my fave! If you’ve read Husband Auditions, you met Charlie. You may or may not remember that on the night before his ex was supposed to wed another man, he randomly prays, […]
SNEAK PEEK: The Last Mountain Christmas
It’s October, which means the season for Christmas books is upon us! We’ll start to see contemporary Christian romance holiday releases popping up all over. Are you a fan of holiday books? I’m a sucker for just about any story that happens during the Christmas season. Throw in romance and I’m hooked! That’s why I’m […]
National Love Note Day
As you might suspect, today is National Love Note Day. Since we read and write romance here, it’s a good national day to celebrate. What can be more touching than a simple love note? Whether short or long, it will leave the receiver with a wonderful feeling. The note will lighten someone’s heart. Although this […]
