It’s another week and yet another hurricane has rolled through and wreaked havoc in communities and the people residing in them. If you’ve been impacted by Hurricane Milton or you’d like to update me on how you and your family have fared through Hurricane Helene, please drop me a line here.
Earlier this week marked the release day of The Soulmate Project—the final book in my Holly Grove Island series. If you haven’t picked up your copy of the book yet, here are three reaso...

THE SOULMATE PROJECT is available everywhere!

It’s Release Week for The Soulmate Project—the final book in my Holly Grove Island series! We met Nick and Emerie in the first book in the series: Second Chance on Cypress Lane. We encountered the two childhood best friends again in Return to Hummingbird Way. In The Soulmate Project, Nick and Em are forced to come to terms with their feelings for each other when Emerie decides that she’s ready to move on to the next phase in her life.
Here’s what the story is about:

Helene Check-in: Let me know you’re okay! + Here’s what’s coming October 8th.


Given the wild, chaotic weather we’ve been having the past couple of days, courtesy of Helene—first a hurricane and then a tropical storm—I wanted to first and foremost check-in with you to make sure you and yours are doing okay.
I’m in Central North Carolina, and I spent part of this morning in my walk-in closet trying to entertain my seven-year-old grandson during a tornado warning. Worse, my husband was out in the pummeling rain and swirling winds getting some supplies ...

Wanna work along with me? + First Look: MORE THAN FRIENDS + THE SOULMATE PROJECT

I hope you’re having an amazing week. The weather has been up and down here. It’s pouring right now, but I got in another walk with my mom earlier this week and finally tried a hip hop cardio step workout yesterday. I’ve been an online member of Club Cardio for months, but since I still haven’t purchased a step, I hadn’t done a workout. Yesterday, I did the workout without the stepper and it was plenty challenging.
What’s that thing you’ve been meaning to do forever, but still hav...

Happy Friday, Dear Readers!
t’s been two weeks since Ced and Nikki’s story went live, and I am overwhelmed with joy over the positive comments from readers.
I’m an author, so of course I love all of my books and characters. But just like that kid a mom claims isn’t her favorite when all of his siblings know he is…that’s Ced and Nikki for me right now. I adore these two. Their journey to love—filled with growth, self-discovery, and the revelation of secrets—is so special to me. I love the ...

Here’s the Behind-the-Scenes Tea on NEVER THE RIGHT TIME + What Readers are Saying
Happy Friday, Dear Readers!
This week I was able to take a deep breath. It was a mad dash leading up to the release day for Never the Right Time last Friday. You have no idea how close I came to postponing the release of the book. I was more than a month behind on finishing the book. Life was life-ing. Technology wasn’t cooperating. My editor had to have surgery. Feedback from a beta reader on the first few chapters indicated that they didn’t like the her...
