Last night I had the joy of connecting with readers at a nearby library. I love the opportunity to spend time with those who love books. There is something so special about conversing with those who adore the written word as much as I do. To also interact with those who’ve read my books and love the characters as much …
Traveling Back in Time and Books
This weekend we’re back in DC while I attend a conference. We arrived Wednesday, and it has felt like a homecoming, y’all. I haven’t been back since an incredibly quick 12 hours in 2015 on my way to a study abroad in Brazil, and it’s a bit scary how much I settled back into knowing how to walk around and …

It’s so hard to believe that in a few days we will be turning the calendar page to November and in a few more weeks December. In a slightly unusual move for me, I’ve been reading Christmas books in October, and really enjoying the foray into these sweet, holiday reads. In case you’re ready to deck the halls early, I …
A Preorder, October, and Review…+ Giveaway
Have you had a chance to read We Three Kings? If so would you be willing to leave a review? Reviews and word of mouth are still the best way that new readers discover a book. Another great way to help people discover the book is to ask your library to purchase it. It’s a great way for people to …
