After several years of debuting my novels in the fall each year, I’m sorry to say that changes in my publishing schedule mean you’ll have to wait until next spring to read my latest book. In the meantime, I’m excited to show you what the gorgeous cover looks like, and to tell you a little bit about the story. “If I Were You” takes place in London during World War II and is a story of friendship … [Read more...]

Why NO ONE Should Object to ‘Clean Teen’ Fiction
Just this week I stumbled across a trending article called: “SJW YA Authors Object to 'Clean Teen' Fiction.” Obviously the title caught my attention because my clean teen Lost Princesses series just recently released. So I was rather intrigued to discover that other YA authors are opposed to the kind of YA fiction that I write. To be honest, I had to google the meaning of SJW. I know … [Read more...]
Raney Day Trippin’ 2
As I sorted through photos to prepare this second installment, there are just too many things I want to show you to put in one post! So this time, I'll share a couple of our favorite outings while we've been here in the Seattle area at our oldest son's house. (We've been house- and dog-sitting while he's in Europe for work.) The first place I want to tell you about is our trip to the stunning … [Read more...]

A True (Humorous) Look at the Writing Process
I wish that the process of writing a book was as serene, latte-filled, and creatively delightful as it seems like it should be! I'm pulling back the curtain today, reader friends, and giving you a glimpse at what's truly happening in a writer's mind and heart during the four stages of the process. Stage 1: Pre-writing "A new story! It's so shiny. So sparkly." "I love these characters!" … [Read more...]
Warning: Writer starting new book
One of the scariest moments for this author is the moment I actually sit down and start writing my next book. This time I've done HOURS of thinking, brainstorming, building characters, but the actual writing...it takes time and is scary. Especially when readers have asked where this heroine's story is. So last night I was brainstorming title ideas with my husband, Colleen Coble, and Rick Acker, … [Read more...]
Fall Fun
Hi friends, Excited to be here with you today. Being a summer, beach girl, this time of year isn’t my favorite. If I can’t be in shorts and flip-flops, normally I’m not a happy camper. However, I’m learning to appreciate all of the seasons God’s created. There’s a rhythm to them and as the Bible says: I’ve been going through a wonderful Bible study named Contentment: Seeing God’s Goodness … [Read more...]
Research & Fun: Colonial Style
My last turn to post, I wrote about my experience attending the 2019 Annual General Meeting of the Jane Austen Society of North America. The conference moves to different cities every year, but this year it was held in historic Williamsburg Virginia, so I knew I wanted to attend. If you are not aware, Colonial Williamsburg is a living-history museum representing the once thriving … [Read more...]
Sightings
I am thrilled to announce the release of my newest book, Sightings—Discovering God’s Presence in our Everyday Moments. This non-fiction devotional is a collection of my thoughts and ponderings as I’ve learned to look for “God sightings” in the simple moments of life. One of the most amazing and comforting promises that Jesus gives us is this: “And surely I am with you always, to the very end … [Read more...]
