On Writing Sex Scenes
My favorite part of Switch-A-Wish is the premise. I believe many couples can relate to seeing the world through their partner’s eyes. I would love my husband to see our marriage, parenting and life through my lens.
In thinking about what he’d like me to better understand, I landed on a hard truth. He’d like me to understand his feelings about our sex life. My avid viewing of Dr. Phil and Oprah upheld this conclusion. Married couples who have kids often have problems with sexual intimacy.

Be Careful What You Wish For
On the first day of the pre-orders for my debut novel, Switch-A-Wish, bet you thought I'd be on here asking you to go to Amazon and order it today (for a limited-time, discounted price). Nope.

Below is a brief synopsis and here's a link to her blog. Links to ordering What You Wish For are below.

Cover Reveal for Switch-A-Wish
Thanks to my editor and wonderful author, Melissa Shirley, for her blog post about the cover of Switch-A-Wish. I've captured a bit of her comments here, but you can read the rest at her Storybrook Lake Blog:-----
“Little kids are great, but they are capable of making their mothers disappear, one hour of sleep at a time.”
If a book has a line that sticks with me, I know the book is going to end up on my prized shelf in my house. I love to read, but I don't have a lot of books on...

On writing my first novel...
When I was a little girl, there was a lot to do, but it usually didn’t involve television or Barbie dolls.
My grandfather bought our family farm about 40 years before I was born. But by the time I was growing up in the house my dad built on the property, there wasn’t much “farming” going on. We were still raising chickens and turkeys, and there was a cow to milk for about my first ten years. The garden covered an acre and it provided us with vegetables to eat during the long winters.

Switch-A-Wish Premise
I'm working on back cover content for Switch-A-Wish, and as a "thanks" for visiting my site, I thought I'd share with you what I'm planning to use. Plus, this will give you a little more insight on the premise. Let me know what you think:
"Amanda and Chris wish they could switch places.
They fell in love, got married, had kids, and now the overwhelming responsibility of all this has driven them apart. Amanda used to love Chris, but her overworked, stay-at-home mom lifestyle means there is no...
