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

God’s Daughter is FREE/Ebook for October!

Just wanted to give a heads-up, in case you’re not subscribed to my email or you don’t follow me on Facebook, that my first Viking historical, God’s Daughter, is FREE for e-reader for the month of October, to celebrate Leif Erikson Day (he’s in the book!). Here’s what Historical Novel Society Reviews said about this book: “The 10th-century world of… Read More

Why I Write Flawed Main Characters

It’s an interesting experience, writing in first person. You see, when you write in first person, the reader is in your main character’s head. And, well… SOMETIMES READERS DON’T LOVE YOUR MAIN CHARACTER. Sometimes your main character does things less than heroic. Sometimes your main men might not say something when they should.

As you can read in my sample chapters, it’s a quote directly out of the Icelandic sagas about Gudrid. I think it sums her up as only the sagas… Read More

GOD’S DAUGHTER Quotes Pin Series

Okey-doke, this is my next-to-last pin. It is, admittedly, NOT my best pin! I wanted to use the real statue of Gudrid and her baby, Snorri, but it looks blurry since I took it from Wikipedia (so it would be free to use, as I understand). This statue is in Laugarbrekka, Iceland, which is where Gudrid was born. ANYWAY. I… Read More

Had a wonderful time this weekend speaking on an a Had a wonderful time this weekend speaking on an author panel @bjuedu with authors Jamie Langston Turner and Emily Golus (@worldofvindor) with @inkwellmagazine. What a wealth of experience these talented authors brought to the table for the guests and writers who attended! Also met author @louannkeisereditor, who was a delight to speak with. Then got to hang out with my lifelong friend @rachelcohee and her husband and daughter and brunch @grandbohemianlodgegreenville at the Between the Trees restaurant. Then capped things off at a bookstore that was hopping! What a much-needed time of relaxation with my husband, who graciously schleps my book boxes and takes event photos for me!📚#authorlife #wvauthor
