Hi everyone! I finished TWO books this past month—my Christian historical romantic suspense, Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 8: Traitor and my Christian contemporary romantic suspense, Bento and Betrayal. I had to get a short extension on my deadline for Bento because I had a few health issues that cropped up—a sudden IBS flare-up and also a bit of pain when I tweaked my back—but I finished it last week! I’m feeling better now (maybe because the deadline stress is now gone). However, please...

Hi everyone, I finished the rough draft of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 8: Traitor! Yay! At the moment, I’m doing a self-editing pass, and then the manuscript will go to my editor. After she gets the edits back to me, the final ebook will be sent early to my Kickstarter backers and I’ll be ordering proofs of all the books from my campaign. The chapters are currently posting on my Patreon (along with some bonus images on some chapters), and once that’s done, they’ll also get the final ebook....

Hi everyone! I finally finished Bento and Betrayal! 🎉 Between a tweaked back and some IBS flareups (I’m fine now!), I needed a little extra time, but the Christian romantic suspense novella was turned in for the Don’t Blink anthology, releasing October 7. 📚 You can preorder it now or read it in KU starting October 7. 👉Preorder Don’t Blink Scroll down for behind-the-scenes details about how I trimmed the story from 34,000 to 25,000 words (yowzers, that was painful), plus info on how you can...

Hi everyone, This will be a short newsletter because I’m trying to finish my Christian contemporary romantic suspense, Bento and Betrayal, which is due tomorrow. I was all on track to finish, but I hit a plot hole that took longer to fix than I expected, so now I’m behind. To make it worse, the stress caused my chronic IBS to flare-up, and I’ve been having issues with poor sleep and fatigue. Please pray for me so that I can finish my book quickly! Thank you! New here? Welcome! I write...

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend. I, alas, had a bit of food poisoning from some Chinese food. It wasn’t severe, but I did have to make sure I was near a bathroom at all times for a few days. To add insult to injury, my husband, Captain Caffeine, had no issues from the Chinese food. My IBS flared up a little bit in response to the food poisoning, but I’ve been feeling better lately. Can you please pray for my health? Since I have chronic IBS, anything that messes...

Hi everyone! It’s a busy season behind the scenes! I’m this close to finishing edits on my Christian historical romantic suspense novel, Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 8: Traitor.

At the same time, I’m getting ready to dive into writing Bento and Betrayal, my next contemporary romantic suspense novella that’s due August 1st. Keep reading for updates on...

Hi everyone, I had been making great progress on my work-in-progress Christian historical romantic suspense, Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 8: Traitor, but then I hit a snag in the scene as I was building toward the climax. I didn’t want the team to go and do something stupid right at the most exciting part of the book, so I had to take a few days to brainstorm how to fix it. However, on Friday last week, I got a terrible flare-up from my chronic IBS. I haven’t had one in several months (praise...
