I finished writing all the books currently under contract, and now I get to decide what to do next. I have a few possibilities, and I’d love to hear which ideas most interest you. This is the fun part! Here we go… 1.) Football is My Boyfriend — After a breakup, Payton Wakeland finds herself […]
What’s in a character’s name?
In my upcoming novella collection, We Three Kings, I’m writing a contemporary story to follow two historical stories. It’s basically three billionaire romances where the heroes come from the same family, and they make their money from gold in the 1800s, frankincense in the 1900s, and myrrh in modern day (my story). The family name […]
The Game of Love
Title of my next romantic comedy: Football is My Boyfriend I got the idea to write this when our 2019 Boise State football season tickets seated us behind a group of ladies who go to every single football game on their own. I’ll tell you the plot then you can help me brainstorm more. When […]

It’s been very hard to write that […]

But today it’s my own heart I’d like to open, baring my soul, so to speak. Frankly, […]

Authors sometimes think of a giveaway as an opportunity to sell copies of their books. In reality, though, giveaways rarely result in sales. They generate name recognition, and depending on how it’s set up, a […]

I’d Love Your Input
I am so honored to have been asked to speak at the Romance Writers of America’s KYOWA Writers’ Dogwood Conference in Greenbo, Kentucky, the first weekend in May. I was asked to speak on Christian fiction today and how it’s not what it was a few years ago. I know the angle I will approach […]
