What a sweet time the past two weeks in the UK have been. Starting with Autumn… No, not the season—the writer. I had the great privilege of spending two hours in London at the amazing St. Pancreas Station with fellow Inspy Romance author, Autumn Macarthur, when we landed in the UK on May 3rd. Meeting […]
Loving through the tough times
The story doesn’t end at “I love you”! I love the feeling of falling in love! Getting to know someone, in all their newness and difference. Getting through the things that stand in the way of a committed relationship. Getting to the sweet delicious place of saying, “I love you,” and hearing it said back. Getting to […]
It’s Spring! Let’s celebrate! Plus a giveaway.
Okay, so I am maybe a little early celebrating Spring! Most places, the first day of Spring is considered the equinox, which will be March 20th this year. But here in England, we’ve had a crazy winter. It only snowed once, and the only reason I knew was because I was working on a story […]
Being still
Christmas is such a busy time! Every year, I find myself in a flurry of never-ending to-do lists, rushing from one half-finished task to the next, getting more and more stressed the nearer it gets to Christmas Eve. Celebration meals to plan, buy and prepare. Gifts to choose and wrap. Cards or emails to write and […]
Honest in small things?
I’d never intentionally do anything dishonest. I want more than anything to live the way God intends me to. But I’ve realised lately that I cheat, and I steal. Not from other people. Of course not. I cheat and steal from God. I don’t want to. I don’t mean to. But I do, every single […]
Holland or Italy?
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) I believe that. Truly I do. But I have a confession to make. *looks around to see who else is listening* *whispers* I […]
“Never work with children or animals” – meet Alistair from More than Friends
“Never work with children or animals.” That’s what W. C. Fields said, and I always thought he was right. About the children, anyway. For most of my life, I’ve done pretty well avoiding both. I specialise in sports and orthopaedic physiotherapy. No kids there. I work helping adults recover from injuries, surgery, and broken bones. I like […]
Finding God’s path
Sometimes in our lives we hit these places where God has so much more He wants to give us, if only we’d let go of clinging to our own plans and let Him! I needed to make a decision last week. Probably not a huge decision, but you know how sometimes things can feel so much bigger […]
A Moral Dilemma- and a giveaway
Wooeee! I finished my last story last week, a Scottish set summer novella for the fabulous Splash summer novella anthology releasing in June, and now it’s straight into the next story. These characters have been nagging me to come back and rewrite and old draft that’s been sitting on my hard drive. They’ve waited and waited, and now […]
God’s unexpected plans- and a book giveaway!
The heroine of my latest release, ‘Forget Paris’, thinks she has her life all planned out. She’ll finish her research, designed to back up her theories on everything that’s wrong with love. She’ll get her PhD. Then she’ll publish her book about the dangers of romance. She knows she’s right, and she intends to prove it. Then one impulsive […]
