For the last few years, our son has dated a few girls and found flaws with each one. My husband, Grant, told him someday he’d meet the one who would knock his socks off. Hannah blew in like a whirlwind last October. Our son and all the other boys had a crush on her in […]
Dueling Books # Giveaway
I set a goal to read more this year and so far, I’ve stuck with it. In the past, I’ve always carved out two or three days to read a book. But since I started editing, I don’t have that kind of time. Instead, I’ve found a new reading schedule. At night, my brain spins […]
Bad Boy Redemption Stories (& Release Day & sale!)
One of the things I LOVE about writing Christian fiction is being able to explore some of the challenges of life, to delve into some of the nitty gritty aspects of things like financial and family pressure, relationships and estrangement, physical and mental health issues, faith and fears. I love that we can read fictional […]
Anniversaries in CCR
Today marks the twenty-first anniversary of the first date I had with my husband. I think I’m in shock. We will have been married 20 years in June. It’s unbelievable how fast time seems to have gone by, and yet I can remember hundreds of events over the years that mark the passage of time. […]
An Olympic Rollercoaster #Giveaway
When I was kid, the Olympics bugged me. They took my shows off TV for two weeks. The nerve. And I’ve never liked sports. Until the summer of 1984. Newly married, I was a hairdresser with a beauty shop at my house. My husband worked days and half the night as a dental technician, then […]
Redeeming the Bad Guy # Giveaway
Over the years, I’ve redeemed several bad girls and a few bad guys. It always makes me wish I could manipulate real people the way I do my characters. Currently, I’m molding a bad boy rock star fresh out of rehab into hero material. On top of that, he abandoned his twins six years ago. […]
New Year & New Releases
Over the last few years, I’ve written so much that reading has sadly taken a backseat. I’ve snuck small moments to devour titles here and there of books I just couldn’t wait to read. But, by and large, I’ve let my To Be Read pile grow staggeringly tall. One thing I’ve learned is that no […]
New Year Goals #Giveaway
Happy New Year’s Eve. It’s an especially special day at our house since it’s our son’s birthday. He’s twenty. How did that happen? Wasn’t it just yesterday that after 2 1/2 months of bed rest, the doctor sent me to the hospital to be induced. Three hours of pain later, a nurse said, “Maybe you’ll […]

Five Little Authors # Giveaway
It always amazes me how authors write so differently. At times over the years, I’ve heard about a book that sounded very similar to one of my unpublished works, only to buy the other author’s book and read a story completely different than mine, even though the subject matter was the same. Case in point–with […]
