Something Delicious

On Monday, I finished writing my 94th book. To Capture a Mountain Man is the third book in The British Are Coming series, and it will release in February 2025. (To confuse things, my 93rd book doesn’t release until summer 2025.) To celebrate typing “The End,” I went to see “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” on Tuesday.…

Wishing for Mistletoe is here!

I’m so excited! The release of Wishing for Mistletoe is finally here. I feel like I’ve been waiting for this day forever. Actually, the Amazon paperback copies arrived a little early and the Audible audiobook is a little delayed. But Barnes & Noble has both paperbacks and audiobooks available today, and all of you who…

From Discouraged to Encouraged

In October, I battled a bit of depression in general and discouragement over my career as an author in particular. A number of things played into those negative feelings, including having to put my almost 14-year-old cat to sleep. I got Pinky as part of my breast cancer recovery (I wanted some “new life” in…

Wanted: Women with Gumption (plus a giveaway)

Awhile back, Tamera Alexander and I were chatting about something book related, and she happened to share that she was getting ready to re-release some of her earlier historical romances. In an off-hand comment, I said, “We should get together with some other Christian historical romance authors and do a box set.” Tammy agreed that…

Enter the Goodreads Giveaway

Last weekend I attended the Faith, Hope & Love Christian Writers conference in Phoenix. While I have quite a few photos from the weekend, this one with Karen Witemeyer will remain my favorite. We laughed so hard. There is something about being around other authors, people who have stories rolling around in their heads, that energizes…

Pardon My Mistakes

I recently did an interview after my book, To Enchant a Lady’s Heart, won the Heart Award in the novella category. The interviewer asked me to share my funniest typo. Sometimes I’m asked questions that leave me scratching my head for a while. It can take time to dredge up an answer. But I had a…

A Head Full of Characters … and Confusion

Writers who write and publish on a regular basis are often juggling more than one story at a time.  Readers may wonder why, when they say to an author, “I loved it when Character A did XYZ,” that the author stares back at them with a deer-in-the-headlights look. That’s because the author is searching desperately…

Box Set Deal

Attention readers: I have a BookBub Featured Deal running this week. The first two books in the British Are Coming series are available in a box set, and that box set is on sale for the Kindle/Kindle app for only 99¢ until Saturday the 31st. So if you love historical romance and you haven’t purchased…

Retreats and Miracles

I am home from the annual retreat up in Coeur d’Alene. It was wonderful as always. We were missing three of our precious members, and we always feel the absence when someone isn’t there. Still, it was an amazing time of laughter and prayer. Not all of us are writing these days. God has called…

Writing Up a Storm

On the afternoon of Wednesday, July 3rd, revisions for my next biblical novel (tentatively titled Star of Wonder) landed in my inbox. Although the revisions weren’t extensive, the editors wanted a change in the opening part of the book that then had to be followed through the entire book. The change required me to cut all…
