I’m excited to announce that I signed a contract for my romantic comedy Husband Auditions. I finished writing this book over a year ago and have been talking about it since, so you might not have even realized I hadn’t sold it yet. The truth is that this book helped keep me going through chemotherapy. […]

Another Book Baby plus Excerpt and Giveaway

A Time to Love (and Box Set giveaway)
The Bible tells us that for everything under the sun, there is a time, but lately I feel like there’s no time for anything. Days, weeks, and months just roll into each other.
