The other day I went to a book festival event near my hometown. This secular event had a number of high profile Australian authors speak, include Tom Kenneally (author of Schindler’s Ark which became the film Schindler’s List) and Candice Fox, who co-writes with James Patterson and has had TV shows made of her books. […]
Wrestling with Romance #Giveaway
Today, I’ve asked Heather Greer to be my guest. Her latest Contemporary Romance, Love in the Squared Circle releases April 19th. Heather shares the inspiration for mixing wresting with romance.

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. […]
More Than a Feeling
“All the feels.” That’s what we all want from a good Christian romance, right? We want to feel the tension of two characters who seem to face insurmountable obstacles on the way to their happily ever after.

A New Leaf #Giveaway
So I got a new desk. I didn’t mean to. It was supposed to be for my husband. I do most of my furniture shopping on Facebook Marketplace and flea markets. I’d found a white desk just like it a few months ago, but it was three hours away. So when I found this one […]
One More Question
Dating can be stressful. I’m so glad I’m no longer in the dating game. If first dates are awkward, blind dates are on par with prying broken sticks beneath my fingernails. First dates could end in a number of ways. She liked him, but he wasn’t interested. He liked her, but she put him in […]
Double Trouble # Giveaway
With eighteen, soon to be nineteen Contemporary Romance titles under my belt, there isn’t much I haven’t put in a book. But never twins. Until A Texas Bond. When I was a teenager, I had this fantasy world in my head where I’d get married someday and have twins. After my son was born, I […]
20 Silver Linings From 2020 (and inspiration for 2021)
Dumpster fire. Unprecedented. The year of the introvert. I’ve heard a lot of ways to describe 2020, many more colorful than the next. And let’s face it, none of us were really all that sad to leave it behind as we welcomed the new year while praying—hard—that 2021 will restore every hope that was dashed […]
