The Lacemaker is on sale till the end of March at retailers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Christianbook.com, etc. My apologies for the late notice as my journal page hasn’t been working but is officially fixed as of today. Prepare for a number of backlogged posts in the days to come… Happy reading!
Recently I ‘sat’ down with readers for a day in December and invited their questions. We talked Christmas and books! I’ll be doing these chats once a month on my Facebook author page and would love for you to join me next time in January. Here are a few fun questions from last time… Carey: I love to talk about …
SO happy to share novel eleven with you! Here are my cover thoughts from my newsletter… I love the up-close image of Tessa Swan, our heroine. She has a simple beauty and strength. I asked that her hair be messy and those dangling strings of her cap be left untied. In the novel, our hero says her pale cap is …
I’ve been mostly offline lately working on novel 12 before galleys of An Uncommon Woman {#11} land on my desk any minute now. Here are a few elements from the recent cover shoot including Lindsey, the model. Love the strength and character in her features.

Kentucky in spring is such a beautiful place {all those dogwoods} and I’m so happy to call it home. I’ll be spending time …
As an author, I’m aware of the fine balance between not telling readers enough and telling too much. Beware of spoilers! Since there have been some requests to share what comes next, I’m delighted to write this post. I’ll try not to overshare! TMI, as my sons say:) This past November I turned in novel 11 to Revell. My head …
Being a visual person, I enjoy finding images that fit my characters on Pinterest or other places that flesh out my word pictures on the page. Yet I don’t often post them because every reader has a different version of the hero and heroine in their head & heart while reading and I never want to impose on that. But …
My 10th novel, A Bound Heart, releases today! When I think back to my debut, The Frontiersman’s Daughter, it seems so long ago. Ten heroines {Lael, Morrow, Roxanna, Eden, Ellie, Wren, Sophie, Tempe, Lady Elisabeth, & now Lark} and ten heroes {Ian, Red Shirt, Cassius, Silas, Jack, James, Seamus, Sion, Noble, & now Magnus} have seen print since then. I …
