Giveaways

The Nutcracker's Suite Giveaway

Want a Great Gift for You and a Friend? The Nutcracker’s Suite Giveaway!

I don't know about you, but at Christmastime, I love a good mystery. If I can combine that mystery with something festive, well... yeah!  And I have a lot of friends who feel the same. So... I decided to do a giveaway! I'm calling it The Nutcracker's Suite Giveaway. You could say it's a "suite" Continue Reading

What Does DIY Have to Do with Love & Romance?

"What are we writing about for the release of Flipping Hearts?" I think that's when I went, "Um..." for about half an hour.  But then it hit me.  Flipping Hearts is about the aftermath of Hurricane Arley and its destruction on Hopper Island.  Now, no, it wasn't a devastating hurricane. Only a few Continue Reading

Announcing the Release of My New Mail-Order Bride Novel

I spent hours trying to figure out what I wanted to do for this post.  Did I want to write about how women "built" the west?  Did I want to talk about the hardships of homesteading?  Maybe sharing how little has changed in the trafficking worlds of the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries.  Both Continue Reading

Is It Any Wonder That I’d Use Paper for Creative Endeavors?

A paper filled with lines, shapes, and color blocked the words on the page of my book. I looked up into the wide, excited eyes of my youngest daughter, and like nearly every parent who ever lived, I said, "Oh!  That's...  Well, what is it?" With that optimistic confidence that only toddlers seem Continue Reading

Weddings Can Be Great Fun or Utterly Boring. It’s All about Perspective

I felt sorry for them. My daughters stood at the front of the building in "heels" (for them anyway) and cradling branches (yes BRANCHES) of lilacs in their arms. And the wedding sermon droned on.  For over an hour.  No joke. No exaggeration. Some of the girls shifted. Fidgeted.  I didn't blame Continue Reading

Hear Preassed RElease

The Best Combo Is a Great Book, a Delicious Cookie, & Sweet Tea

Picture it. My husband at a drive-thru with 9 kids in the van and an order as long as your arm. He begins. "I'd like a Chicken, Bacon, and Swiss, two--" "Would you like that as a combo?" Concentration lost, he blinks at the screen before catching on.  "No, no.  Two, ham and cheese..." As Continue Reading

The Best Marriage Advice We Got Accidentally

"You guys have something going for you." I don't know if my fiance said "What's that?" or just looked at him waiting to hear what our genius thing was, but he continued. "You were friends first. You've got something to hold you together if the romance dies." Little did he know he was Continue Reading

Can We Create an Amazing Garden in the Desert?

Truth be told, I don't know. Some do. We have gorgeous gardens here in Ridgecrest (which is only an hour from Death Valley... just for reference). None of those gorgeous gardens have ever grown at our house, aside from that amazing crop of corn we had one year.  Usually, we are content to grow Continue Reading

Heroes Are Underrated, but Not in This Delightful Novel

One of the best things about being the content editor for the Independence Islands series is that I get to read them all first.  As I said with Secret Beach Boyfriend, sometimes that's a bit scary until you get reading.  I knew what to expect from Melissa's book, Scrumptious Independence because Continue Reading
