Hello dear readers! As the holiday season rolls in, it’s the perfect time to talk about journeys. Not just the kind that involves packing bags, but the ones that pack memories and moments of self-discovery. In my book, Royally Unexpected, I explored this theme through Emmie and Dorian’s adventure across the U.S., where each stop […]
A New Day
This photo was taken as a new day dawned over the prairie somewhere around the Texas-New Mexico border as we traveled home from Lubbock, Texas, where my husband and I had attended the funeral of my sister-in-law. We had made that same trip a couple of months earlier to see my brother and her. She […]
Herein is Love… (and #Giveaway)
Suddenly, it’s February. Valentine’s Day is almost here. So I felt like I need to talk about…LOVE!

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 […]
