Tomorrow, my husband and I are actually leaving on a jet plane, headed for Ireland and then Scotland. Back in 2019, when my daughter and I went, I'd thought that was a once in a lifetime trip. I cannot begin to tell you all just how BLESSED I feel to be able to return to the Emerald Isle. And not just there, but we're going to Scotland as well. This trip is a dream come true. Ever since I wrote Written in the Deep, well even long before then, I've wanted to visit Scotland. An

It really has been a hot minute since my last blog post. I was a bit shocked at that. But here I am with some updates for you. In all honesty, I sometimes forget to post here, because I tend to focus on my newsletter. If you're NOT signed up for my newsletter, you can do that HERE. *Keep in mind that subscribers receive bookish news first. Now, what have I been up to since my last post, you ask? Well...my last day of work was September 04. My husband and I celebrated 26 years

I've had a few people ask me this question over the years. Why closed door? Aren't we all adults? Can't we just be adults here? Hello, and welcome to my latest blog post where I'll be discussing the reasons behind my decision to write closed door romances. It's a fair question. I know growing up we didn't have anything called closed door. There was romance and there was Christian romance. Those were my choices. One was guaranteed to have smut in most cases (some Regency didn'

Hello dear reader, and welcome to my Super Bowl Sunday blog post. Bah humbug. Look, I'm a Green Bay Packer's fan and since I can't cheer the The Pack in this game, then I guess I'll cheer for the Refs. Pfft, whatever. There's always next year. I hope. Regardless, are you cheering for a specific team today? Are you a Seahawks Fan or a Patriots fan? If my grandmother was alive, she'd be cheering for the Patriots. She loved that team. This is not the same grandmother who recentl

Want to hear about something new I'm working on? Read this latest blog post to find out. Well, technically, it's not "new" as in was never published before. Because Long Live the Rebel was published originally in 2019. Along with my other books, it was unpublished in 2021, when my publisher closed down. I've just finished first round revisions on this. And yes, I am revising because, I've learned A LOT since first being published and want to make sure this story is at its bes

Well, the New Year has started. Hello, 2026! I hope yours has begun well, and trust you had a wonderful Christmas, too. I feel as though I've been running since around mid October. Probably longer, to be honest. My youngest turned 18 the first part of the month, and I was still preparing for the re-release of The Lost and Found. Then just a couple days after that released, I flew out to Boston to meet up with my daughter and son-in-law and his parents to celebrate and watch m
