The Prodigal Daughter A Guest Post by Meg Carmichael Hi. Meg here. Some may say I’m fictional, but I’m no more fictional than the Prodigal Son Jesus talked about in the Bible. You know the story, I’m sure. Change the gender, change the era from AD30 to AD2023, tweak a couple of details, and it’s […]
Once Upon a Belated Prequel…
I know, I know. Prequels come before the story. But prequels are harrrrrd (she says, in her best tweenage whiny voice…) and authors (me, anyway) want to jump right into the fun main stories. And so, even when I branched out into writing cowboy romance in *cough* 2018 *cough* I didn’t write a prequel for […]
October Memory Lane: Boxes Old and Gone
Do you often browse through your Kindle reader or app to see what you have read, haven’t yet, or totally forgotten was there? Most of the time readers are asked about new ebooks or at least a title still on sale. However, my question today is about history. You see, the three Multi-Author Boxed Sets […]

The Scars We Hide
I wanted to share a picture of myself with you that I didn’t want to share with you, but it turns out I can’t share it with you because I don’t have it. Confused yet? Sorry! I had originally planned to start this post with a picture of myself from a few years ago, when […]

Moving forward (+ a giveaway!)
I had a cheerful post planned for today, asking what readers wish new authors knew, what authors wish they’d known when they were new to publishing. Till I realized the date my post would go live. 9/11. Maybe that post wasn’t such a great idea on a day when many hearts will hold sad memories, […]
