Shannon Sue Dunlap

Why Did This Author Write a Rom-Com about a Loveable Shrew?

Shannon Sue Dunlap isn't new to rom-coms, and her first book in the Sweetheart Series promises to be a literary riot, and it lives up to that promise. I'm only halfway through it and am thinking mean, ugly thoughts of everything keeping me from being able to escape into the crazy small-town politics Continue Reading

Bryan Timothy Mitchell

What Made This Author Use Hell as Inspiration for His Novel?

When I saw that Bryan Timothy Mitchell had written a book that took inspiration from Dante's Inferno, I knew I'd want to check out Infernal Fall right away. Listen in to see why Bryan decided to write this book! Note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no Continue Reading

Rumor Has It, Murmur in the Mud Caves Promises to Be Excellent!

Kathleen Denly has done it again! Her next book in the Chapparal Hearts series releases on the sixteenth, and with a title like Murmur in the Mud Caves, it promises to be another delightful book. Everyone knows I'm a huge fan of this series, so listen in and learn some of the things Kathleen Continue Reading

Emilie Haney

What Exciting Things Does This Author Bring to Last Chance County?

The latest in the Last Chance Fire and Rescue series releases soon, and I got to chat with author Emilie Haney about the book, her other books, her cover design business, and a tiny bit about her ghostwriting! Listen in and see why she auditioned to be part of this series and what other genres she's Continue Reading

A Vanishing Act

How Much Will It Cost to See What’s Behind the Crimson Curtain?

If you've come here first, you'll want to check the other authors' blogs before reading my story because it'll finish off the full story. Edwina Kiernan: May 2 Denise L. Barela: May 3 Rebekah Jones: May 4 Marji Laine: May 5 Tabitha Bouldin: May 6 Note: links may be affiliate links that Continue Reading

The Jewels of Kalispell

What’s Better Than One Great Author? How about Two Great Authors?

So a few weeks back, Tracie Peterson and I got on to talk about her upcoming release, and ended up chatting about another upcoming release--The Heart's Choice which is a new series, The Jewels of Kalispell, that she's written with Kimberley Woodhouse. If I recall correctly, this is a three-book Continue Reading

Doug Powell

What Would You Like Better Than an Archaeological Thriller? Four?

When I chatted with Doug Powell at the end of February, I had no idea that it would be the last day I'd have internet... for a month. At least I got his Graham Eliot series ordered before it was too late! WHEW! So I got to chat with an apologist who decided to write archaeological thrillers. Continue Reading

Dani Pettrey

What Favorite Romantic Suspense Author Also Defies Geography?

The other day, I got to chat with Dani Pettrey about her new, fan-requested novella releasing... I think on Tuesday!  And the whole time we were chatting, I was so sad that I hadn't read this series.  Guys. I've read two of the three books. What on earth is WRONG with me?  So, listen in and learn Continue Reading

Why the Best Friendships Often Pick Right Up Where They Left Off!

A couple of weeks ago, a friend said, "I'm going to reserve a couple of condos near Branson for whoever wants to come and have a retreat."  I was all in for multiple reasons.  First, I'm a part of this wonderful group of authors, we have monthly meetings, and I never get to go to those meetings. I Continue Reading

Megan Besing

How Did One Author Go from Historical Romance to Fast-Paced Suspense?

Expired Hope by Megan Besing just released today, and she chatted with me about how she went from writing a historical mail-order bride story to part of Lisa Phillips' Last Chance County series with Last Chance Fire and Rescue (part of Sunrise Publishing). Listen in to see why I am CRAZY excited to Continue Reading

The Long March Home Tosca Lee

What Unexpected Stories Will You Read in This Exciting New Novel?

When I saw the latest book out by Tosca Lee, The Long March Home, I was both excited and confused. I knew her as an author of Biblical/Ancient fiction and a bit of suspense. I didn't know she'd written dystopian, too... and here she was with a new WWII novel about three friends who went through the Continue Reading

Regina Rudd Merrick

What Do a War, Two Vets, and a Beautiful Window Have in Common?

The next book in The Stained-Glass Legacy Series, Window of Peace, released today, and I chatted with Regina Rudd Merrick about it a couple weeks back. Jumping from the 1920s in the first book to 1970s and the Vietnam War, Merrick gives us more of the Dunne family, more of the chapel, and another Continue Reading

Welcome to Red Wing, Minnesota. Home of Hanisch's Welcome to Red Wing, Minnesota. Home of Hanisch's Bakery, Mandy's Cafe, the Uffda Shop, and Pepie the Lake Monster (who knew?)

Oh, and home to Twice Sold Tales, a charming bookstore in a charming town--but not for long.  Unless Milton arrives with his trusty parrotlet, Atticus (not Finch!), this local gem of a store may soon be out of print--so to speak.

Some might blame owner Harper Brevig. Let's face it. Her "bookside manner" isn't much to write home about (although I did write a book about it...). But no, she's making enough money, and she's not spending too much money (much to her disgust), so where's it going?

Find out in Twice Sold Tales while I write and send Atticus and Milton down to Berne, Indiana to help Cezanne with he new and dying bookstore.

My next book in the Suamalie Islands series is on My next book in the Suamalie Islands series is on tour with @celebratelit .

Ezra has started her business, is elbow-deep in wedding prep for her father, and gets roped into helping an old friend fight off the eligible females of Lafoina. 
And frankly, she's tired of it all--except the fighting off females thing. The women can just back off. Henri is hers... not that she'd admit that. Yet.
A combination second-chance romance and fake relationship (but not) surrounded with tropical breezes, sandy beaches, and ocean waves lapping against the side of a floating bookstore--perfect for this summer's TBR!
Just check out the link in my bio for a list of blogs and my panic momentwith how the romance wouldactuallywork!
