Ah yes, laughter is often the best medicine. But there is often truth hidden in our laughter. The things we laugh at? Those very things reflect a bit of reality back at us: that life is full of comical things — like a silly pair of sunglasses on a tired-out pooch. Or a silly pair of sunglasses on tired ol’ …
I remember seeing this quote and thinking, “This would make a good quote for a Friday post.” It’s not so, so serious, and yet, it’s a good quote. One worth pondering. How do we spend our “everydays”? Do we take time for a little song? A good poem? A fine picture? Do we make the effort to speak a few …
I just hit SEND on the rewrites for my novel, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, which will release in August 2015 as part of my new Destination Wedding series with Howard Books. Guess what happens now? I’m writing Can’t Buy Me Love, the novella that will launch the series in May 2015. I’d like to invite you to help me write …
Truth be told, I do most of my singing in the car, not the shower. One of my favorite memories of years gone by is driving around town doing errands and singing with my two daughters, Katie Beth and Amy. In the very early years we sang along to the radio or cassette tapes (yes, yes, we did!) and then …
I thought it would be fun to talk about lessons learned this week. I could share about learning the lesson “Don’t try to get up and walk around when your foot is completely numb” — yeah, still recovering from that lesson. But it’s Friday.

Here’s the thing though: to gain perspective you have to live through something and then you have to look at that experience and ask “So, what did that teach me?” I’ve learned that it’s okay to cry when you need to cry — after going through a …
Yesterday was a busy day for me, as I launched my third novel, Somebody Like You. It was a mix of fun and hard work and by the time 11 o’clock rolled around — when I was working on this blog post — I wasn’t up for a serious quote. Earlier in the day, a writer-friend had brought up the topic …
Yes, I’m celebrating! My third novel, Somebody Like You, releases today! It’s a great time for a Rafflecopter giveaway, don’t you think? And since Somebody Like You has a theme of twins in it, I’m doing a “Win Double” Grand Prize. One person will win $100 Amazon gift card and 3 autographed copies of my books (Wish You Were …
As a writer, I embrace the power of ideas. I know how a story idea can be the merest “what if?” nudgng me to think, to turn the question over … and for weeks, it’s nothing more than a maybe … a perhaps … a possibility. And then, the story comes to life. Imaginary people are talking all at once, …
Well, here we are again, wrapping up another week. Friday, sliding into the weekend … and then gearing up for Monday and all that next week holds. I don’t know how your week went — how many successes you’re celebrating right now, how many disappointments you’re trying to shrug off. Or pray through. But here’s one thing I do know: …
