Hey there, friends! I hope you had a great weekend. I spent time reading and relaxing with the family. Covid life has helped me get to many books on my TBR pile. Of course, I keep adding books but that’s the avid reader life, right? :) Today I wanted to share a book recommendation with […]
The Truth About Fame + #BookGiveaway
It’s here! Book two in my new Faith & Fortune series is finally here. And even though I say finally, it’s only been six weeks since book one, The Trouble With Love, released. I thought I’d share an excerpt with you and offer a giveaway. I hope you enjoy! Excerpt: From Chapter 6 I sighed. “What am […]
Book Review: Not Until You by Valerie M. Bodden
Y’all, I love to read but when I get my hands on that book–you know the one that pulls you in from the very first page and won’t let go–I really, really love to read. Last week I saw fellow InspyRomance author, Valerie M. Bodden’s book Not Until You. I noted that it was a Hope Springs novel and […]
Nothing Like a Challenge
by: Staci Stallings Okay, so you might not know this as a reader. It’s one of those first obstacles most writers have. It goes something like this: “There’s this song I want to use in my book. It’s a really popular song, and it will fit really well with this story. So, what do I […]
Multi-author series – love ’em or loathe ’em?
Happy July! I hope yours has been a good one, whether sweltering in summer or wrapping-up-warm in winter. Or somewhere in the middle like England, where the weather doesn’t seem able to make its mind up about the season! I realized recently that all my new books this year will be in multi-author series. Oops! […]
Bodyguards and scientists and cowboys? Oh my!
Heroes! Gotta love them, and we can’t have romances without them! I recently asked my review team who their favorite character was out of all my books, and all the replies so far mentioned heroes. I didn’t expect that, but maybe I should have done! We all love our book boyfriends! There are so many […]
That Something Extra
Ah, June. The start of what I hope is a beautiful and blessed summer for all of us. I also like to think of summer as prime reading season. Actually, I love reading all year long, but there’s something about being poolside with a book and escaping the demands of real life that is extra […]

Help an author – download their free ebook!
Free ebooks. Like them, or loathe them? Readers mostly seem to love them. As a reader, I do! Free books can feel like a gift from an author you know and enjoy, and a low risk way to discover new-to-you authors or start reading a new series. And for an author, there can be surprising […]
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. Three at once wasn’t easy. Goodbye, Frosting & Flurries, Picnics & Promises, and Snowflakes Snuggles. I’ve loved working with the other authors, Marion Ueckermann, […]
