Working in Busyness & Preparing for Launches (April 2023 Life & Writing Updates)
It’s been crazy over here. How ’bout over there? Honestly, I’ve been meaning to do a life update for a while, but it’s hard to communicate clearly what all has been going on without whining, and further, the whining seems kind of silly because from an outside perspective, it does not sound like a lot. […]
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 […]
Let’s Talk about Wild Blue Wonder Press
Wild Blue Wonder Press is launched, and I realized I haven’t officially chatted about it on my blog, so here we go. Wild Blue Wonder Press has always been my main imprint, but I’ve wanted it to be something more, well, forever! In particular, I wanted it to serve as a way to help indie […]
God Be With Ye, 2022, and Welcome to 2023 (The Late 2022 Recap & 2023 Goal Post Y’all Must Be Waiting For)
The year has long ago come to a close, and I can’t help but be a pessimist. Oh, I know, that’s not the RIGHT thing to do. But I don’t always do the right thing. I’m a human, and despite my knowledge that trust in God is the way to go, pessimism sneaks in, the […]
After Our Castle | Blog Tour Wrapups … and The Knights of Pearlbelle Park | Cover Reveal Signups
It’s time for one last tour wrapup! The Celebrate Lit tour is still running (be sure to enter the giveaway), but my private blog tour is wrapping up, so all the links are now included in this post! Before we get into that, though, I’d like to announce something important: a new cover reveal signup! […]
Let’s Talk About The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy {After Our Castle Launch Tour}
Today, before we talk blog posts and blog posts and a giveaway, I wanted to share some more about my plans for The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy. Why? Well, for one thing, people keep announcing that my most recent book is the last book in the series or, with less confidence, that they’re not […]
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 | Blog Tour Kick-Off
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 I Do Have I Give You: a tale of paralyzation and ongoing healing
An Introduction with Random Updates It’s not been an easy couple months. It’s not been an easy year. But that’s not surprising, because human life is not easy, and if you expect it to be, well, you’ll be disappointed. But today (meaning earlier this week by the time I’m getting this out) my swing broke […]
After Our Castle | The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy, Book 6 | Cover Reveal
I can’t believe it’s already time to reveal the cover for book 6 in my series. I mean, After Our Castle is still a little baby idea, right? Still mine and mine alone? Here’s the thing. I didn’t expect to write this novel. It was a relatively new development in the last few years because, […]
August 2022 Dares (and June and July 2022 Wrapup!)
I decided now was as good a time as any to wrap up June, July, and most of August! After all, why not? Why shouldn’t I do whatever the heck I want on my own blog? Summer months always seem to blend together for me, no matter what I do, and this summer has been […]
