WIP Time:)

Hi there! I’m hard at work finishing up X Marks the Spot, which is the last of my adventure themed books…for now. I have to admit I’ve really been getting into these though! I thought I’d give you a bit of a taste of the beginning of the book. This will be part of chapter […]

Family Jewels is out today!

Yay!! It’s always fun and scary and exciting when a new book comes out….and today that’s Family Jewels! I’ll put some links below, but I figured it was a great time for an excerpt. I already posted one a few weeks ago. You can read that here And today, another little bit was posted at […]

Paperback Giveaway round one!

I posted this picture on Facebook the other night… as you can see I have a bit of a backlog of paperbacks that I need to give away! I decided I’m going to do it in a few waves and give away two books each time. The way it’ll work is my two winners in […]

4 Friday Favorites

Hi!! I figured I’d do this sometimes, since I love learning about new things that I might like…I’ll list a few of my favorites at the moment. Of course, I’d love to hear about other peoples’ favorites too! I’ll stick to 4, and I’ll pick different categories every time:) We’ll call this the early spring […]

A Quick Update!

Evening Everyone:) I’m a bit late on this today…but it’s been a busy day! This has definitely been a week of throwbacks, because Dreamspinner put my first baby Coming Home on sale, and now these two:)   1. One Small Thing is available in audio format! — We had a bit of a hiccup on […]

Music…not so Monday

  Hi Everyone! This is kind of the month of Coming Home for me. It’s the third anniversary of the book (on the 9th to be exact) and it was my very first full length novel with Dreamspinner. It both feels like I wrote it 500 years ago (okay, it was really 2010) and still […]

My 4 Favorite types of action plots (and a bit of Family Jewels)

Give me thieves, spies, any treasure hunt (but templars and nazis gold are sooo my favorite), a fun intricate con played out, anything like that and I’m a happy camper. So I decided back before I started Corkscrewed that I wanted to play a bit […]
