In April of 2015, I released my first book, Pippa of Lauramore. At that time, I had no idea where this path would take me. In the last ten years, I’ve gone on so many book adventures, made amazing author and reader friends, and had the most fulfilling career I can imagine. Hunters and Hydrangeas came out… Continue reading 10 Years and 50 Books!

2024 Reflection and Plans for 2025
Hi everyone! Happy New Year's! I hope you’ve had a great holiday season. For the last few years, I've written a wrap-up post. I like to look back over the year and see what I accomplished and compare it with what I thought I’d accomplish. 2024 was a weird year. Things didn’t go as planned. Originally, we thought we’d… Continue reading 2024 Reflection and Plans for 2025
Morning Musings — October 25th
Good morning, everyone! I have a love/hate relationship with this time of year. I'm such a fan of pumpkins, harvest festivals, corn mazes, cute costumes, handing out candy to kids, hot apple cider, fun black cats and bats, and dogs wearing sheets to look like ghosts. (Have you seen those Instagram reels? They're super cute.)… Continue reading Morning Musings — October 25th
Weekly Update & Chronicles of GHOST Q&A
Hey everyone! This week has been pretty lowkey, without a lot going on. I ended up taking Monday off, and Jake, the kids, and I drove over the Grand Mesa. Most of the trees had already lost their leaves up top, but it was still beautiful, and the temperature was pleasantly cool without being cold. It… Continue reading Weekly Update & Chronicles of GHOST Q&A
Weekly Update: October 4th
Hey everyone! We had a successful move last weekend and are now at the campground we're going to stay in through the holidays. It went fine, but it was a bit nerve-racking, as our truck is currently at the dealership waiting for repairs. Though we were hoping it would be fixed in time, we ended… Continue reading Weekly Update: October 4th

Favorite Romance Tropes—Fantasy Edition: Charming Rogue
Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've done a trope post, but I thought it would be fun to do one today! (Tropes are basically themes that some books share. For example, a popular fantasy trope is the Chosen One--think Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.) They can also be certain character types,… Continue reading Favorite Romance Tropes—Fantasy Edition: Charming Rogue
Favorite Romance Tropes–Fantasy Edition: Stuck Together
Hi everyone! The last few weeks have been crazy as Jake and I worked to stay on schedule with Rise of the Phoenix King and get our house ready to sell. (We're painting all the things...) We are still on track with the book (I'm loving it!), but I didn't update my tropes posts like… Continue reading Favorite Romance Tropes–Fantasy Edition: Stuck Together
Life & Books Update – July 23, 2022
Good morning, everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a great start. We're getting closer with the house. We have painters coming today to work on the outside trim, and Jake and I are tackling a lot of touch-up paint inside. He's also doing quite a bit of trim work, and I'm staring at… Continue reading Life & Books Update – July 23, 2022
