A Labor (Day) of Love
Hope all of you out there are enjoying a day of rest and relaxation! In honor of Labor Day, the next stop on the blog tour focuses on my labors, as in births of my kids, and how I handle being a mom AND a writer. Come check out Nikki Raichart’s post on Being Gratefully Grounded. She’s […]
Amazon Reviews are Coming In!
I doesn’t matter how many stars a reviewer gives me, I get a lump in my throat when I begin to read the review. Ok, it DOES matter to me how many stars. I’d love to never get below a 4-star rating. (Some of you sadistic readers are thinking about giving me 3 stars just […]

THE FAMILIAR STRANGER Releases Today!
Happy, happy, joy, joy!! The day has finally arrived: The Familiar Stranger has been released into the world! While I can’t guarantee every book store will have a copy in stock, you can order one or purchase a copy from Amazon. Last night I had the pleasure of attending the local chapter’s ACFW meeting and […]
What Do the Kids Think about Author Mom?
Oh, my lovely children. They see things differently than I do and part of the joy of being home with them is discovering how their minds work. Joshua was overwhelmed by the box of books that arrived by UPS yesterday. “There must be twenty-hundred million in there!” I hadn’t even considered that he’s never seen […]
