A Trip to the Blue Ridge
For all of you who know me, you know that my historical romance heart goes pitter-patter at the thought of a love story woven in the midst of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This region has been a passion of mine for quite some time, but the only problem was, all my...
Road Trips & Audio Books (plus a Giveaway!)
Last year, I did the second craziest thing I've done as a writer - I wrote a contemporary novel. And a young adult one to boot! Throw in a story written exclusively from an 18-year-old skateboarder's point of view and I had officially lost my mind. 😉 But for those of...

Some Kind of Wonderful
Oh what a joy! The Lady and the Lionheart has received a 5 Star TOP PICK! review from Romantic Times Magazine. I was so surprised that I could scarcely believe it until a helpful source joyfully assured me that it truly is possible, just extremely rare for five stars...
Behind the Cover for Lionheart
We stood in a meadow just before sunset. After months of prep and planning, it was about to happen. My lovely friend and cover model was transformed into a young heroine from 1890, the photographer was driving up in her car, and it was showtime. I was a blissful kind...
Folk Music Spotlight – the Sad & the Sweet
It's high time for a new Folk Music Spotlight! It's been way too long. 🙂 Since my list has gotten longer and longer over the months (eek, years!), I decided to spotlight three that are on repeat lately -- all a little sad and sweet. These are songs out of my writing...
The Lady and the Lionheart ~ Cover Reveal!
When I sat down to write a story about a courageous young man in the Victorian-era circus and the lives that are touched by his own, I had absolutely no idea that it would grow into what is my most favorite story ever. EVER. It became a dash of Les Misérables and a...
