Brainstorming, Here I Come

I’m so excited. Today is the day I depart for my brainstorming retreat. This is the 12th annual retreat for this special group of writers. I’ve shared photos in the past and no doubt will share photos againfrom our“Plot, Play, & Pray Retreat.”

Whenever I’m asked what is my favorite part of writing, my answer is “Brainstorming!” There is something remarkably energizing about sitting around a table with nine other writers, ideas being tossed around left and right.

I love that we write so many dif...

Look for my posts about new and recent releases on most Wednesdays. You might find a new-to-you author or see a new release by an already favorite author. Happy reading!

Cover Reveal: Whenever You Come Around

I’ve been holding off sharing the cover of Book #2 in the Kings Meadow Romance series because its release seems so far away still. However, the book is now showing up on Goodreads and a few folks are finding it and adding it to their Want to Read shelves. And so, without further ado, meet Buck Malone and Charity Anderson on the cover ofWhenever You Come Around (spring 2015).

I love this cover, and I think it goes well with the cover ofLove Without End, too.

What do you think? Does it make you w...

June Wrap-Up

Like every other month, June flew by in a blur. The best part of the month was the trip to Las Vegas to meet up with two of the other authors ofFour Weddings and a Kiss so we could film a video (my husband Jerry was the videographer and the other husbands assisted) and sign our bookat the American Library Association convention. It was a 12 hour drive each way, 1400+ miles total, and I’m still feeling tired a couple of days after our return.

Here’s the wrap-up about the rest of the month.
