Winter can be rough in these parts. Day after day of gray skies take their toll. I’m sure if you live somewhere that’s always sunny, the brightness could take a toll, too.

One year ago, the RESORT TO ROMANCE series kicked off, and several of the authors, including me, are holding a sale! Today through Sunday, you can get the Kindle version of A Meddled Match for only 99 cents! Woohoo!!
This year I challenged myself to read fiction for a minimum of twenty minutes every weekday. (#20for2020) I’m LOVING this! I’m trying different authors, different genres, and best of all, I’m enjoying the stories. A few weeks ago I read a historical romance novel set during the French Revolution, and I’m currently reading a contemporary romance.

Christmas is almost here--yay! I'm enjoying the season. It's been flying by! A few years ago I pared down my Christmas prep and festivities, and it's been good for me. So far this December I've watched a few Christmas movies, read a few holiday novels, baked some cookies, wrapped some…
Every December I try to look back and remember what I've accomplished. Usually, it involves some head-scratching. Sometimes I give up because I don't feel like going through my planner to figure out what I did. But this year, it was pretty easy. I have yet to meet a writer…
