Sweet Saturday Sample - His Saving Grace
Welcome to my Sweet Saturday Sample! I had the amazing (and a touch chaotic) blessing of have two books release within the past week. I was torn about which one to share – I hope you like my final decision! Today I am sharing an excerpt from His Saving Grace. This scene opens shortly after Thomas comes across Grace crying in her father's library. (I shared part of this seen a few months ago when it was still a WIP. The excerpt below covers more of the...

New Release - Ten Million Reasons
Ten Million Reasons
There's nothing as exciting or terrifying as Release Day. Except maybe that wait between submitting a manuscript and waiting to hear from the publisher about it. Nah, that's mostly just terrifying.

You are invited to a Release Party...

I'm Human
I'm human. There’s no way around it. Believe it or not, you're human too. I’m pretty sure you can’t get around it either.
You may wonder why this is important. It’s simple. In principal, anyway. Maybe not so much in practice. Let me explain.
My nine-year-old daughter passed away, and I mourned for her. After some months had passed, I thought I had the grief unde...

Welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy today's Sweet Saturday Sample. This is a continuation from last week's opening scene to my WIP, Nowhere for Christmas.

Mitchell leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm not an entirely insensitive clod, despite what you may think. Sending you off to chase a story over Christmas isn't my idea. This came down from higher up than me, and I don't...
