Yes, the A Booklover's Best Christmas Ever contest has begun again! I haven't announced the first gifts that are going into the box yet, so you're the first to know. Like the past two years, the first four gifts going into the box are going to be the...
Hey friends! This is a very short update today!I just want to tell you about a cool contest on Instagram hosted by author Kara Swanson (who wrote the Peter Pan retelling, "Dust"). She's giving away a copy of my book Welcome to Fae Cafe as the prize!...
First off, this family of mine has been going through sickness after sickness non-stop for over a month. It's been nuts. We're on the mend, FINALLY, and I'm back to work which is why I'm excited to be telling you about what's coming up for books!I'm...
Friends, I'm happy to share the cover of Sincerely, Secretary of Doom with you today! This book is Book #2 in the High Court of the Coffee Bean series (for those of you new to my newsletter.)I do apologize for not having this book up for preorder any...
I have something really cool for you! The Finding Fantasy Reads podcast has been reading "Merrily, Merrily" (which is a short story I wrote about Zane in the Winter Souls Series and his origins as a snow pirate) on their podcast! I have the links to...
I recently realized that the last time I sent any sort of update was five days before A Soul as Cold as Frost was launched. So, I’m shooting you a message to let you know all that’s happened since then, and what’s coming, and boy oh boy. Being a publ...
It’s a funny feeling, being this close to having my first book officially launched and out in the world. I’m pretty giddy. And I do weird things when I’m giddy, like making odd faces even when I don’t know it. My mind has gone to another place–I’m ba...
Well, friends, it’s happening. I’ve dragged myself through parts of this process, and I’ve skipped like a giddy schoolgirl through other parts, but I’m so close to having everything ready that I can practically taste all the wintery flavours I’ve jam...
Who has two thumbs and is almost ready to publish a book? That joke would work a lot better if you could see me. What a whirlwind 2020 has turned out to be so far! Can anyone relate? Oh wait, yes, of course you can, because we’ve ALL been trapped at...
Here’s another update, swooping in at you from the gross off-white soggy-cloud skies that have been keeping the sun captive for way too long. Sunshine would be nice. So would being allowed to go outside in general. I knew it was going to be a challen...
Is it just me, or when a parent decides to set out and do something non-kid related, it’s that exact moment all your kids decide to wind up and hoof you in the teeth? It’s as if they’re unanimously agreeing, “How dare you think of anything on this pl...
Not every book I write has the fundamentals of my faith interwoven into the fabric of the story. In fact, most of the novels I write are just cool stories. For my debut, however, I wanted to choose one that hit a little closer to home. Yes, I’m going...
Straight up, I have a lot of books. That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to many of you. At Christmas, most of my presents are fresh printer-and-ink-smelling rectangles in tacky Christmas wrap, simply because I make it easy for my husband to gue...
Dreams. Dreamy dreams. Dreaming of dreamy dreams. We all have that one dream, the one that never goes away, even if life provides a heaping pile of lofty distractions. Occasionally something reminds us of it and we pause to go back to dreamland for a...
