I got so tickled – tickled pink or rather indigo! – when an author friend sent me this review she’d come across for one of my novels. I tend to avoid reviews as what one person loves another loathes so I don’t find them particularly instructive or helpful. Reading is so subjective. I don’t enjoy sushi but my boys love …
Last spring in my newsletter I asked readers what future books they’d like for me to write. I had so many wonderful responses that were encouraging & inspiring! Then I met with my publisher, Revell, & do we have news for you! Back soon to share details. Just wanted to post this ahead of time in my excitement. So thankful …
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.
Dear readers, I invite you to step back in time with me and explore the drama and danger of the 18th-century when George III became the last king of America.

I’m so surprised & delighted to learn The Rose & the Thistle made the ECPA bestseller list for January. It’s not often you see new titles on this list so it’s a double blessing.

I’m always delighted when someone asks me how they can help launch a new book. Discoverability is hard for even established authors & it’s such a joy to reach new readers while celebrating reading friends who’ve been faithful from the first… Here are a few creative ways to help spread the book joy! Write a review of the book …

It’s that wonderful time of almost summer when I just pressed SEND and returned galleys of Tidewater Bride to my publisher & am now almost ready to share the new cover while awaiting the final pages to read one last time before the book goes to print. I usually run out into the garden and pick flowers to decorate those …
