Are you confused? Wondering why I’m talking about Christmas when it’s only October? Well, here’s why! Last Tuesday, Candy Cane Wishes & Saltwater Dreams, a novella collection, released, including one of my stories. And every one of the five stories is about Christmas … on the beach. What? The beach isn’t usually what you think […]
When Characters Travel: Nashville and a #free eBook
While writing Tackling the Fields, I sent two of the characters who were musically inclined to Nashville, Tennessee.

Fall Into Reading + Giveaway
I’m one of those basic loves-everything-about-fall women. The sights, smells, traditions. It’s all so ahhh-inducing!

Have You Heard the Rumor about Me?

If so, you know how quickly a small comment can grow into a monster, destroying people’s lives while singing a pretty catchy song (You’re singing it now, aren’t you?)
