Today is National I Love Horses Day—now officially one of my favorite days of the year. How could I blog about another subject rather than wax poetic on this? I’ve been a horse lover since the very first time I went to visit my maternal grandfather in Oregon (we live in Colorado). He lived in […]
Let’s Go to Church
I’m in the process of worldbuilding for my next contemporary Christian romance series. As I worked on fleshing out the small Norwegian town where my characters live, work, and fall in love, I began thinking about their church. It will probably be an important part of the story since it has a big role in […]
Missing Ingredients!
Happy Saturday! Today we’re talking missing ingredients. :) I was making a blueberry pie the other night with fresh blueberries I picked from a friend’s house. I put it all together and worked on a puzzle while it was cooking. It smelled amazing and I was excited when I pulled it out of the […]
Never Saw That Coming
I love listening to/reading about author history. Many of them knew from a young age they wanted to write stories for a living. I’ve heard a few say they have notebooks filled with old writings they’ve kept through the years. I wrote stories in school because they were part of an assignment. I enjoyed the […]
Five Years Deep and a Mile High (And #FreeBook)
I know it’s hyperbolic, but it does feel that way to me when it comes to the books I have yet to start or finish reading. Yes, my to-be-read pile is indeed five years (or more) deep and a mile (or more) high. For example, once upon a time I bought Book 1 by an […]
Playing it (Not So) Cool & #Giveaway
Hello, new friends! To say I am excited to share my very first post as an Inspy Romance author is a huge understatement. In fact, when I received the invitation to join the incredible community of IR bloggers, I most definitely did not play it cool. I happened to be visiting my parents for my […]
Reading at the beach
Don’t worry, the title will make sense before you reach the end. Sadly, I am not reading at the beach today. I am staring at this picture, however, as inspiration for my next beach book. I took this last year at Fernandina Beach, Florida. A little about me. I’ve been a reader for as long […]
Living My Dream Life
People like to ask kids, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Some kids might come up with crazy answers, or change their mind hundreds of times throughout childhood. Not me. As I kid, I knew what I wanted to be: A wife, a mom, and a writer. I guess you could […]
New in Town & #Giveaway
Do you have roots? Maybe that’s a strange question to start a post with, but let me explain. I’ve never in my life lived anywhere more than six years, although I’m hoping that is going to change in the near future. So, technically, I don’t have roots. Nowhere to call “home.” And here, once again, […]
Are You Good Enough?
Happy 2021! I’ve been carrying on the romance vibe by continuing to watch the Hallmark Channel movies. They’re coming up with some good, fun, winter movies that are keeping romance alive on television! My first 3 books were published by Belle Books. A great small press publisher. They were wonderful to work with and very […]
