Win a Blind Date with a Book Bundle
“Have you ever been on a blind date?” At a recent Mom’s group, the icebreaker activity involved a game of bingo where each square contained a question you had to ask another mom. It was a clever way to get to know new people–or ask total strangers awkward questions (depends on how you look at it). This question stood in the way between bingo and me, so I found the closest person I didn’t know and asked it. Turns out, she was the guest speaker for the day and probably didn’t expect me to ask her that! Well, I have good news for you. I’m not going to ask you…

Surprise! New Children’s Book Places Second in Contest
You already know I love writing Christian romantic suspense for women and have a young adult dystopian trilogy for teens. Also on my heart has been to write children’s books that my son can read, and I’m excited to share that a new project is in progress. My agent and I have been working together to pitch it to publishers. This week, that project placed second in the ACFW KidLit Contest for Unpublished Picture and Board books. If you’ve been on this publishing journey with me for a while, you know that we writers enter many contests in which we never place or final. So, when we do final or…

Come Explore Beech Mountain, the Setting in Crossroads Suspense
Each book in my Crossroads Suspense series takes my lead characters to at least two settings, one of which is Beech Mountain, North Carolina. This location is close to my heart, as my now-husband taught me to ski there and proposed at a nearby vista called Wiseman’s View. This setting remains one of our favorite family travel spots. Let me share some pictures so you’ll understand why I love this location—in real life and fiction. Beautiful Mountain Vistas How can you not fall in love with views like these? I suppose it helps that my husband’s and my own romance (from dating to engaged to now married) involved trips here.…

Happy Release Day to Watch Your Back, Crossroads Suspense, Book 3
I have run only one half-marathon in my life, and today feels a bit like reaching the finish line. After months of training and more miles run than I care to count, I ran those 13.1 miles and crossed the finish line with a smile on my face. Writing and preparing to release Watch Your Back has felt like a marathon. My son was only a year old when my manuscript deadline for my publisher, Mountain Brook Ink, arrived, and he skipped more naps and got sick more often than I’d imagined possible. I honestly didn’t know if I’d make that deadline, but I did, thanks to my supportive husband…
