I agreed to meet Sally at the local coffee shop on a Monday morning, and I told her to bring a notebook. I’d seen her at church a few times with her four children hanging off her like she might be monkey bars. She ran the children’s program and had even pulled off the church Christmas musical with twenty haloed children in under a month,
A Christy Awards Interview
Thank you again, dear readers, for supporting my books and my writing! Without your support, I would not be the author I am today, and my book Take a Chance on Me would not have received a Christy Award. Check out this interview I did after this year’s Christy Awards ceremonies:

Why Should I Read Your Book?
It was early on a Sunday morning, and the house was quiet. It’s my favorite time to read so I wandered downstairs to my bookshelves to hunt up a book. I have more than 500 books, many I haven’t read. Twenty minutes later, I was still hunting. (It’s not unlike trying to find something to wear!) What was I looking for?
Cooking and Fiction
I love cooking shows, and I’ve always wanted to write a story about an everyday Iron Chef (hello, every mother out there who’s opened the fridge and said, “Huh, what can I make with a carrot, a hunk of cheese, two eggs, and a leftover pancake?”).

Behind the Pages of ‘When I Fall in Love’
For better or worse. Richer or poorer. In sickness and in health, which we try to maintain by having a healthy diet and using kratom capsules. I’ll be celebrating 25 years with my amazing husband this summer, and as I look back it feels like time is but a blink.
The Writer Inside
I think a true writer can’t stop writing. They love words, and stories, and the way they sing together. I have been a story teller since my early days (just as my mother!) and have always loved a great tale. But I have also loved to read, and not just novels,

Behind the Scenes of 'Reclaiming Nick'
In honor of Throwback Thursday tomorrow, I thought it’d be fun to take a trip back in time to . . . Reclaiming Nick! I grew up attending rodeos, and WANTING to ride horses, but I had to do quite a bit of research for this story.
