Okay, so I admit. I sort of thrive on juggling lots of balls in the air at the same time. No, not literally. I honestly probably couldn’t juggle one ball alone without dropping it. But when it comes to my writing work… yes, I juggle a ton of projects at once. That’s mainly because I’m an Achiever with a capital A. (If you’ve taken the Enneagram Personality Test, you’d classify me as a three, … [Read more...]
Cover Reveal, Giveaway, & Spooktacular Book Deal
I'm so excited to share with you the cover for the first book in my Hanger's Horsemen series - At Love's Command. It's my first hero-centric cover, and I love it! Not all of the details match the story exactly. On the cover his vest is brown when it should be cavalry blue, and his horse should be a blood roan not a sorrel, but the hero's so rugged and gorgeous that I really don't care. I … [Read more...]
A Random Observation
So. I thought this blog post would be about teaching for the first time at an actual writing conference instead of online or at my local writers group. But when I got home, I realized I had taken zero pictures—and I hate doing a blog post without pictures! Suffice it to say, I had a wonderful time at the Permian Basin Writers Workshop in Midland, TX. I was terrified to teach in front of students … [Read more...]

As many of you know, Ken and I have been traveling, and as I write this, we are halfway through our seven-week trip. I'm posting from our oldest son's house in Seattle where we are spending three full weeks while Tarl is traveling in Europe for work.

Cover Reveal!
It's cover reveal day for Stay with Me, book #1 in my upcoming Misty River Romance series! After I finished writing my Bradford Sisters series in June of 2018, I began casting around for inspiration for a new series. I'd just finished two family series in a row and I wanted to find a way to link the series characters in a new and different way. Around that time, a young soccer team was … [Read more...]
ACFW 2019 Recap
The end of September found me in San Antonio for the ACFW National Conference. It's one of my favorite weeks of the year, as I get to reconnect with many of my writing buddies including several of the women on this blog. It's such fun and then one way I give back to the writing world that has been so good to me. We also had board meetings where we started planning next year's conference in St. … [Read more...]

Research & Pleasure: Jane Austen-Style
I just returned from the 2019 Annual General Meeting of the Jane Austen Society of North America. The conference moves to different cities every year, but when I heard this year’s setting was Williamsburg, Virginia, I knew I wanted to attend. I was in good company, as the conference sold out almost immediately and was attended by over 800 people. I attended for several reasons: To learn … [Read more...]
