The tasks in a writer’s life are akin to the ebb and flow of waves that lap along the shoreline. No matter how many are checked off the list, there’s always another heading in. Sometimes, like a boat caught in those waves, a writer can become overwhelmed. A few years ago I was tackling a […]
Celebrating 18 Years of Marriage + #Giveaway
In just two days, on May 5th, my hubby David and I will be celebrating 18 years of marriage. What?! Yup, you heard that right. 18 years of wedded bliss. (cough cough!) Let me phrase that again—18 years of mostly wedded bliss. :) I’m sure anyone who has been married for even a short period […]
You did what, now?
That’s what I ask myself all the time. My poor hubby might also ask me this…a lot. Yeah, I’m kind of impulsive and impetuous (and impertinent and all kinds of other im-words). This time, though, it was a really good thing! When they sent me the invitation to become a part of InspyRomance, I have […]
Exciting News
I have lots of good news this month. Within mere days of my last post, I found my lost pages from the French guy who turned into an Italian guy book. I hate to admit how I lost them, but I will. I changed the title of the book, then promptly forgot the title, so […]

From Mexico to the USA: A Legacy of Love and Hard Work
Hola! Jolene Navarro, checking in from the Texas Hill Country and today I have a give-a-way so, keep reading. It’s gingerbread and hot chocolate season, so pull up a chair and join me. My mother-in-law was the kind of woman that did more listening than talking. She had a gentle spirit and strong faith. Leaving her […]
Counseling My Characters + #Giveaway
Once upon a time before I was an author, I was a therapist. Through answered prayers and open doors, God gave me the chance to earn a graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I was about a third of the way through my licensing hours when God led me to the next adventure in […]
Be Still and Know He is God
Where are your favorite fall (autumn) vacation spots? What do you usually do when you’re on vacation this time of the year? Do you like to go to the beach or up to the mountains? If you like going to the mountains in the fall, what do you usually do there? Do you spend time […]
The Beach and Christmas? Falling for Grace and A Christmas to Remember
Hi friends! I may have mentioned my love for the beach once or twice… or a thousand times. If I didn’t, I LOVE THE BEACH, by the way! Last October, I was blessed to get to visit the beautiful Florida town of Santa Rosa. My lady friends and I stayed in the lovely area called […]
