Come to the Lake (plus a giveaway!)
Happy August! This week, the three multi-author boxed sets I have the three books I’ve written so far set in Huckleberry Lake, Idaho, came to an end. It’s always bittersweet, letting go of a set.

No, that’s not my name there in the title. I met Sally Bayless back in 2013 when we were both finalists in the Genesis contest for unpublished writers. Since then, Sally has published three books — a novel and two novellas — all set in the town of Abundance, Missouri. Ever heard of Susie May […]
