Updates and Giveaways!

It’s been quite some time since I’ve posted a blog. I apologize for the neglect. All I can say is that this has been an extremely busy spring in the Beck household. Between my deadlines, my Romance Writers of America board service, and college visits for my high school junior, I’m one obligation shy of a nervous breakdown.

While we’re talking about my calendar, here are a few local events where...

Quotes by Jamie Beck

“Blame. Such a useless word. People flung it around when they were mad or hurt. Or they carried it like a cross until it destroyed any chance at redemption or happiness. Blame never solved one problem or changed a single outcome. A pointless, unproductive, ultimately destructive concept, really.”
― Jamie Beck, Before I Knew

5 likes

“Indulgent compassion and bending to the will of another had nearly destroyed her.”
― Jamie Beck, Before I Knew

“real love is about focusing on what the person you love needs rather than what you need or want.”
― Jamie Beck, Before I Knew
