Did you know that October 10 is National Cake Decorating Day in the USA? Immediately my thoughts went to Diego’s cupcakes in Know You More, book 1 in my Savannah Sweethearts series. Perhaps cupcakes are not all that Diego knows to make, but he is known for them in his circle of friends at Riverside […]
Five Questions for Chef and Restaurateur Piper Peyton (and #Giveaway)
Do you like to read character interviews? Today we’re going to revisit one of my Savannah Sweethearts main characters, Piper Peyton, who is the chef-owner of Piper’s Place in Savannah.

Twenty-Twenty Hindsight
Do you have twenty-twenty hindsight that makes you look at your own life and circumstances more critically than usual? Do you think of questions that begin with any of these starters?

Ready for the Beach? (And a Free eBook)
Are you ready for some warm beach and hotter sun? Yes, I am! I love all seasons, but I am partial toward the warmer ones. That’s why I write beach romances. Warm sun, warm sand, warm beach reads! Three weeks ago, it was 72F in the day time over here. There I was, thinking winter […]

Have you ever been to Savannah and Tybee Island on the Atlantic coast of Georgia, USA? These two romantic southern towns are the settings for my Savannah Sweethearts series of 11 books.

As an author of Christian Romance (and Christian Romantic Suspense, but that’s outside the scope of this blog), I keep in mind that, at the end of the day, I am writing about two people falling in love […]
Merry Christmas!
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11, KJV). Can you believe it’s December? I don’t know about you, but I heard that some early birds have already put up all their Christmas decorations and then some, turning their homes into winter […]
Is Anything Stopping You from Succeeding?
“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14, KJV). Christians, do you know what your calling in life is? Are you in the middle of experiencing your calling? Or are you still waiting for God to show your His purpose and plan for your […]
Layers of Paint
Do you like art? What types of art do you like? Do you prefer modern art or classical paintings? Watercolor, acrylic, pencil, or another medium? How about oil pastels? Have you ever walked through an art gallery and tried to interpret the paintings there? Some years ago, I went to a local art gallery here […]
Scars & Circumstances
Do you have a scar that you consider unsightly, something you would hide from the world? A physical scar, perhaps? An emotional scar? Both? In one of my Savannah Sweethearts books, Sabine Hu has both physical and emotional scars. Three years ago, she was in a car wreck that killed another passenger, crushed her legs, […]
