Being a lover of all things British, I follow Lady Carnarvon’s blog and was inspired by her recent Supper Guests post here. Which led me to consider who I’d invite to supper if I could! And which reminded me of touring Inveraray Castle in Scotland and this place setting I’d captured while there. It belies the grandeur and elegance of …
The Armchair Traveler
A few months ago the words “armchair traveler” came to mind. Having had several trips cancelled due to the pandemic, I found the thought intriguing so just sat on it for awhile. The only traveling I’d done last year was through my books! Truly, every story is an adventure that takes you somewhere. Or should! In my case, the Kentucky …

Tidewater Bride is here!
It’s always a joy when I get my author copies of a new release. Fun to put them on my bookshelf and admire the book’s spine and back cover which I never see until the reader does. Sometimes I take a random peek inside though I never reread my novels once they’re in print. How I’d love to come to …
Reading Gifts
One of my favorite gifts to give and receive are books. I’ve read so many over the years that sometimes they blur in my mind and I can’t recall the details. But some stand out despite the wear and tear of time. I’ve gathered a few gems that might inspire your own reading list or round out your gift giving …
The story begins…
My publisher, Revell, surprised me with this first page of Tidewater Bride on social media yesterday. It’s fun to see it again after being away from the novel since last summer. How I wish I could come to it fresh again like a first-time reader. It’s truly a story of my heart for so many reasons. And I hope you’ll …
Pages & pages
Today I happily turned in the pages of Tidewater Bride, my last look at the book before it goes to print. January 5th will be here before we know it! I hope you enjoy reading this novel as much as I enjoyed writing it. Now if only I could time-travel back to the 17th-century and meet some of those characters …
Pocahontas
I’m awaiting the final pages for Tidewater Bride, a last review/reading before the book goes to print. My last visit to Jamestown was solo on an overcast spring day. Solo research trips are one of the most wonderful things on earth! I took these pictures, including the statue of Pocahontas, a historical heroine of mine since childhood. But who was …
