I confess to being a bonafide foodie & cooking along with my heroines, or in this case, baking. Growing up in my granny’s Kentucky kitchen, in which not once in all her 97 years did she do dishes by anything but hand (no dishwasher), everything else was from scratch, too! Sometimes she would make old-fashioned gingerbread which makes me wonder …

2018 has started off with some historical fireworks given the stellar reading line-up for fiction. My stack overfloweth! Here’s a peek. I’m always happy to talk books.

For those who like a visual to go with a story, here’s the template for Noble Rynallt! Granted, it may not look like the hero in your head and heart and that’s okay. Here’s a peek at Liberty, too! When I begin a story I have a vague impression in my mind of hair color, eye color, height, and so …
I’m blessed by readers who enjoy my books and then leave reviews about what the story meant to them. I also admire those who might not enjoy a book but point out what they do and don’t like in a gracious, helpful way. Good reviews are like the finest chocolate. Here’s one and I call literary. You can tell the …
Ani Get Your Gun by Anne Kushnick There are some fine frontier authors out there just as there are fine frontier artists. I’ve often wished I could inhabit the head and heart and gifted hands of Pamela Patrick White or David Wright or John Buxton, just to name a few. Anne Kushnick is new to me but the woman she …
In my new release, The Lacemaker, I dedicated the book to a female patriot in my family lineage and am bursting my buttons that I could do so! The centuries since Susanna Thorne Hightower lived have left little about her though I long for a diary or letters. She has such a novel-worthy name! George HIghtower is the patriot that …
I’m so delighted to bring you this story of my heart set in an amazing place rife with historical fireworks! I so hope you enjoy Lady Elisabeth’s dedication to Philippians 4:8, and her noble hero and his Welsh heritage in long ago Williamsburg, Virginia. One of the biggest joys is seeing the book land in readers’ hands after being so long on …
