With New Year’s upon us, it’s time I write my 2025 wrap-up. In a word, my year was chaotic. Lots of big things happened in 2025, some good…and some not so good. Let’s get started!

10 Years and 50 Books!
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.

Hunters and Hydrangeas came out… Continue reading 10 Years and 50 Books!

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.

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.

Morning Musings: September 17th
Good morning! I have a story for you. Let me set the scene: it's five-thirty in the morning here, and Jake left for work about thirty minutes ago. I brought my laptop to bed because it's chilly. I'm working, minding my own business, wishing I had tea but don't because our mugs are in the… Continue reading Morning Musings: September 17th

Good morning, everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a great start. We're getting closer with the house.
