When Time Won’t Stand Still
Content warnings: discussion of death and grief First, I have to take a moment to thank everyone who sent me such kindness during this difficult time. It really, truly means a lot. Second, I have to apologize for the delays in sending emails and review copies, as well as the delay in the second book…
What Happens in Dallas?
Apparently vampires. Or upyrs, rather, (derived from old Eastern European folklore) because why keep things simple? This is the story of how I wrote 30,000 words in one day, caught the world’s worst cold that somehow wasn’t even Covid, fought to save my cherry tomatoes, and saved a baby goat (in that order).

On Deadlines and Chicken Fences
Or how is it already November? It’s been an exciting year so far – I’ve finished the Lyndale Lovers series (although the idea of a short story for Charlotte won’t stop nibbling away at my brain) and nearly finished the first book in my new Texas Billionaire series (cannot wait for you guys to meet…
