So You’ve Decided to Self-Publish…The Second Step (Early Readers)

I’m only going to talk about one step today–early readers–because I feel it’s such an important step for the debut author (and helpful for any author). Quick recap: last week we made sure your novel: 1) Was properly edited. This includes: beta readers, crit partners, professional edits, and self-edits. (To clarify: I consider beta readers a handful of early readers who… Read More

So You’ve Decided to Self-Publish…The First Steps (Editing, Cover Art, and Blurb)

I *might* be a tad crazy for starting up this series when I’m pretty busy (possibly procrastinating), but I get a lot of questions from authors pondering self-publishing. Hybrid authors, debut authors, you name it.  So I’m going to keep it simple and each week, just throw out some steps in my process. Your process will NOT look exactly like… Read More

End of the Year Recap and Future Writing Plans

Hi everyone! Just did a little vlog to catch up a bit! A shout-out from me to you!

When your Word of the Year Gets Real

As we hurtle toward the end of 2013, I have been spending more and more time reflecting how my word of 2013 showed up in my life. BLESSING. My word was BLESSING. Now, to be utterly honest, I thought for sure I knew exactly what the blessings would look like: 1) Our old house, on the market since last September,… Read More

When it’s not Personal

I’m just pondering how paralyzing it is to spend time worrying about our online stats. When I first got on Facebook, I remember being shocked when someone would unfriend me. Had I come across the wrong way? Offended someone? Then twitter. As I was building my numbers, I noticed when people dropped me. Was it personal? (Answer–almost never! Twitter is… Read More

A stranger is wearing her missing father's coat.
And he isn't saying why…

The last place Rosalyn Snow expects to find her father's coat is beneath Exeter's old Exe Bridge.

Especially not on the back of a man fleeing the police.

Convinced the stranger holds the truth she’s spent years searching for, Rosalyn brings him home for Christmas. But Simon avoids giving answers, and what little he reveals only deepens the mystery.

As Dunn House fills with glittering guests, whispered ambitions, and holiday celebration, Simon moves through society as though he belongs there... yet he’s just as at home among the vagrants on the docks. And when Simon’s carefully guarded past reaches Dunn House during the Twelfth Night celebration, the fragile peace of the estate begins to unravel.

What has become of her father?
And who is the man wearing his coat?

Bringing Simon Balfour home might unravel Christmas.

Discovering who he is will make it unforgettable.
