Interview and Giveaway with Katherine Scott Jones, author of Shadow Sister

I’m pleased to welcome author Katherine Scott Jones back to my blog today (check out her lovely, book review blog here!). You can find my previous interview with her here. She has a second women’s fiction novel out, titled Shadow Sister, and it’s a beautiful story of love and loss and restoration in a family. As usual, Katherine takes us to… Read More

Ramble and Roar

Interview and Book Giveaway with Catie Cordero, Author of Ramble and Roar

  Hello, folks! I know I haven’t blogged in quite a while–I’ve been keeping busy cramming in as many hours of writing as I can this year. BUT I have to share about author Catie Cordero. Isn’t her book cover above gorgeous? It’s original artwork and she and her husband, Jonathan, modeled for it! I met Catie at the Breathe Writers… Read More

More about my latest mystery, Guilt by Association, and my road to publication

I was honored that Guilt by Association was chosen to be the March read for the Avid Readers of Christian Fiction book club. I’d never done Facebook Live before, so I was a bit terrified (it is LIVE, I discovered, after a trial run in which I was murmuring to myself on camera and jolting it about). But once I saw so… Read More

Interview and Softcover #Giveaway with Jaime Jo Wright, author of The House on Foster Hill

Today I’m so glad to welcome author Jaime Jo Wright to my blog. Jaime’s such an interesting gal and we have some things in common–she loves Edgar Allan Poe, she loves coffee, and she knows her way around a lethal weapon (she bowhunts). Best of all, she writes mysteries that have me guessing until the end (hard to do for… Read More

Five Ways to Touch Your Favorite Author’s Heart

I’ll be the first to admit I’m not a really emotional person. I tend to be the “buck up and soldier on through” type (dramatic change from my teen years, for sure). But as an author, part of me is always on display and raw. We write so much of ourselves into our books–is it any wonder scathing reviews can… Read More

Forest Child Viking Novel Releasing November 1st

The Book Bundle Giveaway Extravaganza! (FOUR GIVEAWAY BUNDLES!)

To celebrate the upcoming release of Forest Child, I wanted to do something extra special–I wanted to give away books from authors I love and mention all the time.

Happy #WestVirginiaDay! You might know that I love Happy #WestVirginiaDay! You might know that I love setting my contemporary mystery series in my home state of WV. What you might not know is that there was a time I wanted nothing more than to move away and spread my wings (somewhere like NYC! Where I wound up living for a year when I got married!). But years down the road, I felt my mountain roots pulling me back. Suddenly, I could see nothing but beauty in these comforting mountains and moody skies and honeysuckled summers. West Virginia is so many things—good and bad as any state is—but it’s entirely unique. My husband once marveled at how many people “came back” to their home state here, even after being gone for years, and I see that all the time. These #Appalachianmountains have a way about them, and it becomes a part of you, a love you don’t want to let go of. I’m a #mountainmama, and I’m glad to bring this truly #wildandwonderful state to readers with my books.
