New Growth: You’re Still Alive
Last month my blog post mentioned some of the things we did on our most recent trip to Spokane, Washington, where I lived when I was in high school. Before we went to Spokane we drove through North Cascades National Park, since I’m trying to visit as many national parks as possible. During one of […]
New Year & New Releases
Over the last few years, I’ve written so much that reading has sadly taken a backseat. I’ve snuck small moments to devour titles here and there of books I just couldn’t wait to read. But, by and large, I’ve let my To Be Read pile grow staggeringly tall. One thing I’ve learned is that no […]
Five Little Authors # Giveaway
It always amazes me how authors write so differently. At times over the years, I’ve heard about a book that sounded very similar to one of my unpublished works, only to buy the other author’s book and read a story completely different than mine, even though the subject matter was the same. Case in point–with […]
A Beachy Christmas & Giveaway
Are you confused? Wondering why I’m talking about Christmas when it’s only October? Well, here’s why!

Revisiting Characters
A Texas Bond, book three in my Texas Hill Country series, officially released last week. It was inspired partly by my husband and I dabbling in flea marketing after shopping them for years. The picture I included is the booth we had full of items we created or repurposed. It was fun fitting our […]
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 […]
Life In Fiction #Giveaway
Today, I’m welcoming my guest Amy R. Anguish. I recently had the pleasure of editing Amy’s book, Saving Grace. I love this story, love the characters, plus there’s humor and plenty of swoon worthy moments. And I’m not just saying that because I’m biased. I’ve been a friends to romance fan for years. Here’s Amy: […]

Hopefully, you’ll gain a little insight into what makes them tick, along with pictures I used as inspiration to create them. Lexie Parker – heroine Are you open to your own romance? I […]
