Belonging is a recurring theme in my 35+ stories. I could point to one after the other and explain to you why the hero or heroine feels like an outsider in their own life. In some cases, that theme is fairly hidden. In others, it’s super obvious. Take Kenna Johnson in Lavished with Lavender, which […]
Let the Games Begin!
In June, I released Book 1 of my new Matchmaking Moms of Oceanview Church series. Here’s my blog post about it to refresh your memory. Meet the Moms was a short prologue novella to introduce the matchmakers. Book 2 (Finding Love for the Loner) will release July 7. My hope was that the short novella […]

When It Rains It Pours #Giveaway
Blessings that is. I knew book two of my Hill Country Cowboys series was releasing in mid June and my backlist title, Counting on the Cowboy was re-releasing in a western collection in mid May. But I didn’t know the collection would be in Walmart. I didn’t even look. But my husband did. It was […]

Matchmaking Moms Approach the Starting Gate!
Back in my December InspyRomance post I described a whole new approach for writing and releasing my new series. Instead of writing a book and releasing it, I’d write the entire series (or close to it) and then use a Rapid Release approach. Starting with my birthday June 7, I’ll be releasing one book on […]
Be Courageous, Be Strong by Merrillee Whren
When I read this verse recently, it reminded me that God has given us such wonderful instructions. There are four right here in this verse, and I think they are very applicable to our current situation. Keep alert. We want to be vigilant. We don’t want our circumstances to give the devil a foothold in […]
Another Book Baby plus Excerpt and Giveaway
There’s nothing like the feeling of holding a newborn in your arms. The wonder and awe of gazing down at this new life.
