Saintly, Sweet, Sensual, & Smutty: a treatise on the four types of romance novels & how to navigate them as a Christian
My dear reader, today I am undertaking a task few would approach and fewer still would do with any professionalism. I am fortunate to not be one of those few in the final category. Though my idiocy has driven me to undertake this post, I cannot promise it will be entertaining or insightful in any […]

Villainizing Romance & Other Dumb Things Christians Do
A bold title, ain’t it? I hoped it would attract your attention, and I hope the post that follows is worthy of your attention. If it isn’t, well, what can I say? I am only human, and though I have put much thought and many words into this article, perhaps it will still fall flat […]
Chapter length, story length, and more: the ultimate guide to how long you should be writing
How many words!? This is a question I’ve heard repeated over and over again in every writing forum I’ve ever visited. Writers just want to know how long their chapters and their books in general should be. The problem is, there’s not a solid answer. “How many words!?” Most the time I find myself saying, […]
Excuse Me, You Got Some Feminism in My Regency Romance (Redux)
Hey folks! Today we’re having an unusual post. Due to a thread of comments on my February 2020 post, Excuse Me, You Got Some Feminism in My Regency Romance, I decided I would break down this (comedic, tongue-in-cheek) post with the utmost of seriousness and absolutely no jokes in addition to responding, line by line, […]
After Our Castle is Launched (+ ENTER THE GIVEAWAY!!!)
Today I’m going to share an Instagram post I shared this Monday because I really liked it. The day after launch day is always a good day to reflect. To think back on previous books in the series and to wonder. What was, what is, and what could have been. I like to stare at […]

After Our Castle is launching this weekend, and I don’t really know what to say except “thank you.” Thank you to my street team, for being so sweet and kind. Thank you to my editors (Grace Johnson and Andrea Cox) for their dedication. Thank you to all the random people who have got excited (or […]
What Enemies to Lovers ISN’T
I had some bad news a while ago, and I need to write something like this to keep my mind off of it, so here’s this. Enjoy. Okay, let’s do a better introduction. Today I wanted to talk about something I haven’t really been able to discuss in a while because I haven’t had any […]

In Which Denial is Just a River, Really {2021 Wrapup & 2022 Goals}
Dear 2021, First of all, how dare you? Okay, but more seriously … I AM IN DENIAL. IT IS NOT 2022! I always feel a little gobsmacked by the new year, but this time, it feels doubly so. 2021 was a wild year. Like, I always say that, but this time, it is so true. […]
Join the Launch Team, See the World! {At Her Fingertips Betas/Street Team} {Also, Life Updates}
I didn’t get a post out when it happened (I feel like I’ve been being repeatedly smacked with a baseball bat this month, and I’m not doing everything I should be as a result!), but the cover reveal for At Her Fingertips has come and gone! Here are some random pretties: So the book is […]
Becoming Miss Knight needs help to launch!
Hello readers! As you know, Becoming Miss Knight is coming soon! However, for this launch, I didn’t have quite as much time to prep as I’d like (life got crazy). For this reason, I’m running a bit behind schedule and won’t have a normal blog tour, etc. However, I decided I’d still do all the […]
