Happy Friday, friends! Today I thought I would bring you a Christmas book recommendation. I’m recommending Southern Snow by B.R. Goodwin. I’ve had the pleasure of actually meeting B.R. in person which makes this post feel extra fun for me. Have y’all started your Christmas reading yet? If not, be sure to add this to your […]
Finding Rest When Life is So Busy It Hurts (#Giveaway!)
Have you ever been so busy that you literally feel like you can’t handle even one more thing? Life gets like that sometimes, doesn’t it? And the holidays are especially challenging to our schedules, our calendars, and our ability to rest. Matthew 11:28 tells us to come to Christ, that He will give us rest. […]
Free eBook Alert
I was a full-time writer before I ever tried writing a novel. In fact, getting into fiction at all was sort of an accident. (Well, it seemed that way to me. It is likely that it didn’t take God by surprise.) I had only dabbled in fiction, and I mean dabbled. When I was in […]

Once Upon an Audio Book (and giveaway)
A few years ago, I joined a novella collection of modern fairytales titled Once Upon a Christmas. Because I was the last invited, I didn’t expect Cinderella to still be available, but to the delight of my hidden-identities-loving heart, I got to write Christmas Ella. For my setting, I picked Jackson Hole, Wyoming as an […]
