An 1801 portrait by Rembrandt Peale It’s truly Christmas in July for me as I’m close to turning in my first holiday novella to my publisher, Revell. I have a love for this story like no other {though I think I say that about every novel when I’m in the thick of it}. But I do adore this joyful, poignant, …
It’s a joy to hear from readers about my novels. This landed in my inbox recently & made me look at writing differently. A kindred spirit here. So thankful she found my books in the sea of them out there. Thank you, thank you.
Here is the fresh face of my January 2027 novel from Revell! Our heroine’s expression, the wallpaper, the pink blooms & Christopher Wren-type waterfront at the bottom = happiness to this author! Hope you delight in this story as much as I did writing it!

We’re up to novel 17 now aside from my 2 novellas. It’s truly amazing that each book is a small universe or world of …
If I ever wanted to be a heroine in a book this would be the one. The romantic 18th-century cover echoes the story beautifully right down to her silk gown. Though Bleu Galant’s happily ever after is 220+ pages, I found myself wanting to make it a full length novel. It’s one of my favorites of the 18 I’ve written. …
