JULY NOVELLA!
Every once in a while a story steals your heart completely. This is one of them. I’ve often asked which of my books is my favorite & I honestly can’t choose. I love them all for different reasons. But this one – A Matter of Honor – was such a joy to write that I’m hoping it’s a joy to read, …
Daughters of the American Revolution & KSDAR Reading List
I’m thrilled to learn The Seamstress of Acadie has been chosen for the Kentucky Society Daughters of the American Revolution reading list for 2024. As a DAR member, this is meaningful to me on so many levels. I’m also a huge devotee of DAR’s American Spirit magazine which is beautifully done & award winning. Many Americans have Patriots in their lineage …

Gorgeous Georgians
Recently it came to my attention that the best way for an author to connect with reading friends is through a private group… So, Gorgeous Georgians it is! Isn’t the image lovely? I have the amazingly gifted Hannah Linder to thank who is a fellow author as well as a stellar designer! Here’s both her lovely sites: Hannah Linder Designs …
Christy Award finalist!
I’m so very honored that the book of my heart & ancestry is a Christy Award finalist! There is no more renowned award in my industry than this. I’m blessed to have been a finalist for Love’s Reckoning several years ago and then The Lacemaker won the Christy Award the year after it was published. This year there was a tie among finalists …
