Game On: The Christian Parents' Sports Survival Guide officially releases April 4, and I'm hosting a month-long giveaway to celebrate. Game On is my first nonfiction book, and I'm praying it blesses parents like myself who spend a big chunk of time, money, and emotional support on their kids' sports. I figured…
I just started writing the second book in the upcoming Wyoming Cowboys series. I had a strong grasp on the general plot before typing the opening line, but there were many things I didn't know (and still don't!) about the story. As I brainstormed possible scenes and reasons for them…
I recently revisited my For Writers page, and I realized I continue to use many of the writing tools I've written about in the past. That's why I'm sharing a few posts from the archives. I hope they help you with different aspects of your writing, too. Since it's…
It's March, which means soon I'll be living in T-shirts again. For a few years I've struggled to find comfortable tees that fit me well and are reasonably priced. This means the majority of my tees have been worn out. They're destined for the trash bin. If a…

My husband and I have been watching a lot of movies at home lately. Last weekend we watched Inferno, the third installment of the Robert Langdon film series, loosely based on Dan Brown's books. I haven't read the books, so I can't tell you how the movies compare, and I'm not…
2017 has been a year of changes for me. Most of the changes have been little, but hey, small steps equal steady progress. One of the things I'm doing is tracking my progress in two areas. I created a year-at-a-glance spreadsheet that can be used for any goal. I'm tracking…
Happy Friday! It's an extra exciting day for me because I get to share the cover of my fifth book! Hometown Hero's Redemption is the final book in the Lake Endwell series. I've loved this fictional Michigan town so much. It's hard to say goodbye! This story is dear to me,…
