edit data

I'm a wife, mother, and bona fide Southern belle. Published author, expert corn bread maker, and Squirrel Princess.

I live in Tulsa, though I was born in Mississippi. I moved to the Sooner State when I was seventeen and met my soul mate and best friend not long after. I've retained a little of my Mississippi accent though most people think I'm from Texas. (?) Rob and I have been married for over twenty years and have a son--a mom proclaimed prodigy, of course!

I love homemade tacos, nail polish, and romance novels--not necessarily in that order. I'm a big fan of country music, a staunch proponent of saving the Oxford comma, and I'm shamefully obsessed with all things Harry Potter.

I believe that God is love. I guess that's why I adore romances ...more

A Million to One Chapter Seventeen

Christmas morning dawned bright and early. Claire awoke, at first startled that she had been asleep. It had proved to be a fitful night. She had been content being in his arms but hadn’t rested well with the ring weighing heavily on her finger. Not with so many unanswered questions swimming around in her head.

Quietly, so as not to wake the others, she made a pot of coffee and settled down with her

What a great and exciting book! If you read Reed's bio you'll find out that he is a veteran of police work, and that experience definitely shows in his writing. This book is called a thriller, but unlike some it has a 'real' feel to it--like a James ...more

Amish Romance is a new endeavor for me. I live in Oklahoma and we have an Amish community nearby. When I decided to start the project I wanted something a little different. My books are set in good ol' OK. :) And yes, the Amish people are very friendly.

Glad to add you to my list of friends, though you may already know me as Amie Louellen. :)

Thanks for adding me to your list of friends. I was interested to see you write Amish romances. I recently returned from the UK after a visit to Pennsylvania and Ohio. Beautiful country and the Amish people were so friendly.
