COVER REVEAL: A Thief Revealed (International Thief Book One) and a Giveaway

I have bad news and good news this fine Tuesday morning.

Bad News: I do not have a chapter of A Crimson Homecoming for you today. I’m very sorry about that, but I simply had to reprioritize my writing tasks this past week, and I ran out of time to write a new chapter for A Crimson Homecoming because I was finishing A Thief Revealed.

Good News: I have a fabulous cover and blurb reveal to share, and I would love it if you would click the share buttons to the left or below the post and share thi...

You guys are the most incredible readers a girl can ask for! This turning out to be so much fun!

Thank you for being so unbelievably supportive, receptive, and complementary of Part I of A Crimson Homecoming. I’m not going to have a big introduction this week, except to say, I hope you enjoy part II of the story. I sure was surprised at the turn the story took as I was writing.

A Crimson Homecoming: Romantic Suspense Serial, Part I

[image error]Every once in a while a story idea comes to me that I simply don’t have time to write. At the same time, that amazing story idea won’t let go of me. That’s exactly what happened while I was helping my father move out of my childhood home recently. I spent a couple of weeks in the small town I grew up in, and every day, I kept thinking about a couple of characters and a storyline that didn’t actually exist yet, all centered around my old stomping ground.

So what’s an author to do when she does...

Favorite Things: Childhood Memories, Bullet Journals, and Barbara Freethy’s Perilous Trust

It’s Friday morning, and I’m sitting here having my morning coffee reflecting on what I need to accomplish today. I thought I would take moment to check in with you guys and tell you a few of my favorite things this week. Why not, right?

It’s been a few weeks since I announced that I would start sending out more blog posts and random thoughts, and I’ve been very inconsistent so far. This is why it’s better if you sign up to receive the posts in your email (see below this post). That way it wi...

6 Ways to Bring the Settings of Novels to Life

[image error]I’ve been researching the setting for a new book/series I’m working on, and I thought I would share a few insights into “some” of the ways I get a handle on a setting.

You see, it is very important to me that I make the reader feel like they’re actually living the book they’re reading. Or, at a minimum, I hope they can clearly picture the surroundings of a scene as if they’re visiting the place themselves. Here are a few ways that I do this.

Live Where the Book Is Set

Many of my books are set...

3 Tips for Creating a Productive Writing Routine

[image error] I’m often asked about my writing routine or what a day in my life looks like.   I’ve come to realize that I don’t have a typical routine, and every single day is different from the last. Part of that is because I’m an indie author who does so much more than the actual writing of the books. I format, I manage cover design, I market, I talk with readers on social media, I schedule promotions, I manage an online store, I blog, and on and on.   Another reason that I’m not consistent with...
