Kindle Unlimited Offerings

I’ve moved some books over to KU. So if you’ve been curious about a book but unwilling to take the plunge and buy it, now you can borrow it and see if it’s up your alley.

Here’s what I’m offering on Kindle Unlimited for now.

This is truly an outstanding story. I carried my Kindle everywhere with me…. All day. I refused to do anything until I finished.

2018 Autism Blog Hop

Autism Fact: Five times as many males as females are diagnosed with autism.

RJ Scott is hosting the Autism Blog Hop again this year. Check out the master post here and follow along to read about your favorite authors’ hopes, dreams, and wishes for the world. There are prizes at each stop.

My hope: Accepting a person at face value.

More than anything, that is what I wish for our world. Not ascribing a list of “must-meets” or “expectations” to a person within seconds of meeting them, but holdin...

Putting Writing at the Top of my List

The hardest part about being a writer for me is sticking to my own goals and deadlines because something else is always deemed more important.

I started writing for fun. Then it was a hobby. After a time, writing royalties were my secondary income. And eventually, they became my primary income.

Not the primary income of my family, thank goodness! Haha. We would’ve starved a long time ago if that were the case. And that’s why I started to edit. Editing became my secondary income, but that’s mo...

Silver Scars – A story of hope

For the first time since I released Silver Scars back 2015, it’s back on Kindle Unlimited.

Read Now

 

If you’ve not read this book yet, prepare to dive into a story of pain, fear, hurt, and comfort. It’s a story of hope, compassion, healing, and unexpected love that you’re invited to watch unfold from the first time Gil travels since a bomb destroyed his life until he finds his HEA with Keith.

I won’t lie and tell you it’s an easy read. It was one of the hardest things I’ve written. So much o...

Excerpt from Momo, My Everything

“Let me see if I got this. You do a lot of shit and have a lot of cash you need to follow to make sure it gets to the right department so it gets to the people who really need it in the end so you can make the world a better place and sleep like a baby at night, huh?”

I chuckled at how easily Nate boiled it down. “In a nutshell, yes.”

“So you’re a do-gooder.” He licked away a droplet of beer from his top lip.

I nodded and bit the inside of my cheek to stop myself from telling him how gorgeous...

My World This Monday

It’s snowing. A true winter storm with wicked winds, lots of accumulation, and canceled events left and right. I knew this was coming, so when I got a call that my new glasses were in, I didn’t bother to hop in the shower and just drove to get them. Then my kiddo and I got breakfast before I dropped my tax paperwork off at my accountant’s.

Then as the snowfall gathered, I lost myself in Excel creating a tracking sheet for sales the rest of the afternoon. So today and the weekend were largely...

My World this Monday

The release of Love on a Battlefield went off without a hitch. Okay, there were a few. I had to reschedule half of my prescheduled tweets and Facebook chopped off all the details about my book on the post people shared and only showed the photos. I remedied those issues pretty quick.

I’m pleased with the release. For a novella, I never allow my expectations get too high because shorter books never sell as well as novels. But I love writing novellas. That length is fun for me, which was the en...

PTSD-lite, PTSD-gritty

For those of you who’ve read Love on a Battlefield and crave a grittier look at PTSD than what I portrayed in that book, I’d like to recommend Silver Scars to you. Gil’s life is destroyed after an explosion left him shattered. When he meets Keith, a man living with struggles of his own, Gil feels hope again.

Gil’s PTSD is not a result of war like Andrew’s was, but it’s just as powerful. Maybe more so.

I actually poured a lot of my own PTSD and anxiety into Gil’s experience and I pretty much w...

New Release: Love on a Battlefield

Not every compass points north.

[image error]

Andrew Summers is forced to spend his vacations reliving Civil War battles with his father. He hates every minute until a blue-eyed, red-haired boy behind enemy lines catches his eye.

Shep Wells would much rather travel the world than play at boring war reenactments. He never dreamed a Texan boy would capture his heart.

Real life and years separate them; Andrew is forced onto real battlefields, but for Shep the world is a playground. They’re opposites, but wri...

North Star Trilogy

This week I’m finishing up a major restructure and edit of Spark. Yes, you read that correctly. I’m getting the rights back to the entire North Star Trilogy later this year and each book is going to be re-edited.

Spark is getting the most work. I’ve restructured how the book is laid out, moving scenes around, combining some, and cutting a lot of words. I’ve added scenes as well, reworked the climax of the book to make it stronger, and added a bit more to both Kevin and Hu...
