Hi everyone! Late spring has started warming things up where I live, so I’ve been taking advantage of the weather by getting outside and dictating while I walk. (It turns out walking helps my brain work better than sitting still at a desk. Who knew?) Progress on Bento and Betrayal is going well, though lately I’m convinced I’m my own worst enemy—all in the last several weeks, I threw out my back, had an IBS flare-up, suffered through an unpleasant doctor visit, and my latest escapade is...

Hi everyone, Thank you for your prayers for my back! However, this past week didn’t quite go the way I’d hoped. My back was finally starting to improve, and I was gearing up to jump back into writing—only to get hit with a sudden IBS flare-up that seemed to come out of the blue. On top of that, I had a minor medical procedure that ended up being much more uncomfortable than expected, thanks to a bad reaction to the antiseptics. Add in some extra bathroom visits and cramps, and let’s just say...

Hi everyone! Can you believe it? Just ONE WEEK until Danger in the Shadows launches! 🎉 That’s ten full-length Christian suspense and romantic suspense stories about to drop into the world—and your support is making all the difference. 💛 (Missed the last email? Here’s the link.) So apparently… last week’s giveaway was so stealthy, it snuck past everyone. Including you. Including me.

Hi everyone! I am just starting to feel better after I did something inexplicable to my back early last week. I swear, all I did was get up from the toilet (sorry for the TMI) and then suddenly I couldn’t stand up straight. So I just took time off to rest. I didn’t get much writing done—I tried, but the pain was just too distracting for me to focus on the story. Ironically, I was able to do marketing work since that doesn’t require as much brainpower, and I got a bunch of small things off my...

Hi everyone, So … turns out standing up can be dangerous. One moment I was minding my own business (okay, fine, I was getting up from the toilet—TMI?), and the next, my back decided it was done adulting. I’ve been writing from bed ever since, channeling my inner Regency heroine, minus the smelling salts. Meanwhile, I’ve been working on Volume 8: Traitor and had to reread Volume 6: Martyr to make sure I didn’t accidentally have someone reveal a secret they already spilled two books ago (oops)....
