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. Sometimes your main women might not be… Read More

YOWZA! GOD’S DAUGHTER IS HERE!!!

Forgive the shouting, but I’ve waited such a long time to say that! All kinds of cool kickoff stuff going on today (or tonight, if you stayed up till 12:01 am to read this!). But FIRST I want to share the link with you, so you can order your copy of God’s Daughter on Amazon, if you’re thus inclined. Just… Read More

Our LAST Pinnable for GOD’S DAUGHTER!

Oh goodness, everyone. GOD’S DAUGHTER is releasing this Friday. THIS VERY FRIDAY! I’m so excited and scared and amazed I can’t articulate things properly. Anyway. Here’s my last pinnable for it. 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

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.
