Yep, once again, it’s Wednesday, so I can’t resist sharing a snippet of Trail of Kisses with you.

A moment later she shrieked at the top of her lungs and backpedaled. […]

What Just Happened?

Okay, not gonna lie. Something weird happened with book sales this past summer. I had, without a doubt, the worst three months of my entire book-selling life this summer.

My Hero is a 12-Year Old Boy

People talk a lot about role models. “Who is your role model?” is one of the most common questions I’m asked in interviews. I love the question because I believe it’s important for everyone to have someone to look up to, to model your behavior after, and to aspire to be like. So who is […]
