Writing Update (and a giveaway!)
I initially conceived the Misty River Romance series when.... And what if, miraculously... He did? The series catches up with the "Miracle Five" when they're all adults marked in different and irrevocable ways by the trauma they endured eighteen years before. In Stay with Me, I told the story of the younger of the two sisters, Genevieve. [By the way, if you haven't read Stay … [Read more...]
Do you ever stop reading a book?
Usually, when I start a book I finish it. If I don't, it's because it gets buried in a corner. In the last week there were two books I was listening to that I had to stop and return to the library. One, there wasn't any saving it for me considering the number of curse words in the opening paragraph. The other was a 20 hours audiobook that I listened to for 8 hours. There was much I loved about … [Read more...]
Most Anticipated Reads of 2021
I’m a writer, but I’m also a voracious reader. I’ve never actually met a novelist who wasn’t a reader at heart. I was captivated by stories at a young age—reading books, acting out stories with friends, and daydreaming stories in my mind. Daydreaming was my escape. I loved going for Sunday rides with my mom. We lived in New Mexico at the time, and every Sunday we’d go for lunch and then a long … [Read more...]
A Writer’s Purrfect Companion
With many more people now working from home due to the pandemic, pet ownership has grown both in the US and abroad.

Not long ago, my first-reader was trying to review my new manuscript to give me feedback and suggestions. She has a … [Read more...]

This means that my publisher, my art director, my graphic designer, my public relations person, and my accountability partner are all one and the same—my husband, Ken Raney. Here he is in his office the day we put the finishing touches on the book and hit "publish." The man can be a tough taskmaster at … [Read more...]

Should Authors Stick to Writing in One Genre?
A fellow writer recently asked me: “How do you stick to one story? I find I have an overabundance of stories I'd love to tell, but they're scattered over different genres and times in history. I try to write whatever I can, just to get the stories down and find my voice, but it's so hard to choose just one and stick to it!” When I first started my journey to publication, the general opinion in … [Read more...]
Ye Olde Book Swap
Are you a swapper? School lunches. Recipes. Wardrobe items. Books. There is something about the swapping process that excites me. The old suddenly has new value. The familiar opens the door to the unexplored. Possibilities abound. That's the idea behind the book swap that we're doing this month in my Posse Facebook group, and I'd like to invite you to join us. The Posse Book Swap combines … [Read more...]
Watch & Listen
I thought I’d catch you up on a couple of new things I’ve been loving lately. They fall into two different categories: watch and listen. My thoughts are short and sweet today, but I hope one or the other will be something you can enjoy as well! Watch: The English Game I am so in love with this series! Written by Julian Fellows of Downton Abbey fame, it is the cross between an underdog … [Read more...]
