Happy New Year, dear readers! After a rather skinny 2015 on the blog here, I’m back and hoping to offer you some great reading, interviews of authors you love, insights into my writing life, more giveaways, and whatever else crops up in this new year. First up, I can’t think of a better way to start off than with Susan …
Come Fly With Me Giveaway
Today’s the day. The birthday of A Flying Affair. This is always a moment when I hold my breath. I’ve no choice but to let my book baby go, and yet, there’s always that niggle of apprehension. Can it fly on its own? Will people like it? Oddly enough, I couldn’t be more thrilled to introduce you to Mittie and …
Lucky Lindy Making History
A Flying Affair releases in six days!! I’m giddy with anticipation of letting this one fly into reader’s hands. What a labor of love to spend most of the last two years in the Roaring Twenties, a good bit of that imagining myself soaring through the air in the open cockpit of a Curtiss Jenny. It’s been a wild ride! …

Jazzy Hatmaker’s Heart Giveaway!
There’s nothing quite so sweet as the release of a new book, of holding it in my hands for the first time and getting a whiff of that new paper smell. In a blink, the late nights at the computer and the months that were at times agonizing are gone. It’s not unlike holding a human baby and forgetting the …

Sing For Me by Karen Halvorsen Schreck
I love everything about this book from the title to the evocative cover to the wonderful story inside and most of all, its author, Karen Halvorsen Schreck. I’m not sure when Karen and I first became acquainted, but we met in person for the first time last fall. I instantly connected with her and her style of writing and passion …
Cover Reveal for The Hatmaker’s Heart
One of my favorite parts of the writing process is getting my first peek at the cover of a book that I’ve dreamed about for months, toiled over through countless cups of Verona, and prayed that it would capture the vision I have for my story. That’s my favorite part, but one of the hardest parts is getting that first …
On gossamer wings
Some sure signs that autumn is in the air: You never know from one day to the next if it’s going to be a sweater day or a flip-flop day. Cool, crisp mornings make me want to sit on the patio and breathe in the scent of fall. Lately that’s been laced with ragweed, so while the mornings are nice, …
Joanne Bischoff and Mountain Music
Mountain Music I’m in awe of Joanne Bischoff and her lyrical stories set in Appalachia. With the third installment of her Cadence of Grace stories coming out next month, I invited her to share with you. Welcome, Joanne! One of the questions I am asked the most is why I chose to set the Cadence of Grace series in …
