Classics Challenge!

You know what? I’ve been reading a lot of modern authors over the past few years, and while I love doing that (sign up for my newsletter here for updates on what I’ve been reading lately), I feel I’ve fallen way behind in my reading of classics. Ya’ll, I love me some classics. πŸ˜‰ I’ll share four of my faves… Read More

Hook, Line and Sinker

Yesterday I bungee jumped for the first time, and all would’ve gone well if that cord hadn’t…. Did I hook you yet? Nope, I didn’t REALLY go bungee jumping (although it’s been a wild-girl dream of mine for awhile now). But the purpose of hooks in writing is to pull the reader in so tightly, they don’t want to let… Read More

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 thingsβ€”good and bad as any state isβ€”but it’s entirely unique. My husband once marveled at how many people β€œcame 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.
