7 Reasons Why I Stop Reading a Novel
I've noticed over the past couple of years that I've developed an especially bad habit–I'm having a harder and harder time finishing novels that I pick up to read. I wasn't always so hard to please! There once was a time when I finished reading almost every book I started. But these days, my shelves (both real and virtual) are overflowing. I have plenty to read. But not enough time. And … [Read more...]
Help Me Find a Title for My Next Book
A couple weeks ago, my editor gave me the head's up that it's time to start putting together ideas for cover art, blurbs, and titles for my current work in progress. And since I know our readers have some of the most creative minds in the business, I figured this would be a great place to tap into a well of creativity. So here you go . . .

Twenty years with Love Inspired and so many books left in my brain!
This year is really special to me. I sold my first Love Inspired book in late 1996 and it was published in December of 1997. I was Number Twelve in the first year launch authors. I'd already published five books by then, three with Avalon and two with Leisure. I'd been struggling on where to go next but when I landed at Love Inspired, I knew I'd found a home. I could write the romance novels I … [Read more...]

But from out of nowhere time just—WHAM!—hits you right in the face, and you wonder, "Where on earth did all the time go?" That happened to me last night when I happened across a collection of family pictures as I'm working to clean up my … [Read more...]
Best Friends
Everyone needs a best friend—someone to laugh with, cry with, and do fun and crazy things with. Today I’m celebrating some of my dearest friends. Friends like Cathy who has an amazing sense of fashion and loves to go shopping with me.

Lessons from Make Way for Ducklings
The other day the kids and I were driving along and saw the above sight. It was absolutely priceless and felt like we had stepped into the book Make Way for Ducklings. When we first arrived the mother was in the road at the side with her 12 or 13 ducklings next to her. Cars slowed for her, but went around her, and it was clear she was frantic. Then we stopped as did the other cars. She … [Read more...]
