In the Holler blurb!

Y’all, I am so excited! In the Holler, the first book in the Mt. Moriah series is almost ready to publish. I cannot believe how long it has been since I pushed publish on a book. I have worked so hard this year on this series that it is like publishing my very first book ALL OVER AGAIN. In the Holler was so much fun to write, and it taught me new writing tools also. I am hoping you will enjoy reading it as much as I have writing it. If you like romance with a side of women’s fiction,

Exciting announcement: The Mt. Moriah Series

Hi everyone! I am lifting my head from my writing desk because I am **ALMOST** finished with In the Holler, the first book in my new Mt. Moriah series. This series is something that I have been working on steadily since the beginning of the year. I may have mentioned a new book in passing one of the last times I posted but if not, here is your notice. You can thank Sarra Cannon for this series.

So, you have likely heard (even from me!) that writing is not just art. It is also a business by many these days. They are turning out books on regular release dates, marketing (which really means spending money they haven’t made yet) and promoting their work

Writing questions-jump on board!

Good day mates! It’s a cool 70 degrees this morning, and I am in my writing chair. The problem is – wait for it – PLOT. I cannot for the life of me figure out this plot. It started out with a plan and a resolution, but once I began writing it, the darn thing went off in a strange direction and now I cannot wrangle it back into the fold. It’s so concrete. A mystery should be a mystery and anything else thrown in is just noise. Well, this one has a lot of noise. Mainly Shannon Wallace and

Catching up with my readers and fans

Well, last time you visited, dear readers, you were reading all about my adventures in the woods of Alabama. There has not been a lot of exciting things going on since then to be honest, but I endeavor to enlighten you on what all has transpired however boring. So, October was pretty warm here as weather goes for fall. I didn’t even have to run my air/heat much. Which is always a good thing, but I have a new HVAC unit and wanted to test drive it. Nevertheless, November has come and with it much cooler days and nights. I
