In case you haven’t heard, and you probably haven’t, my first book, An Unexpected Wish is out on October 27th. It is by far a dream come true, something I’ve wanted my whole life. It hasn’t been an easy journey to publication. I have my share of rejection stories. Contests and me do not get [...]
There’s something so wonderful about fall. Tree leaves do their annual color extravaganza, the days turn shorter, the nights colder, and all it makes me want to do is curl up with a good book. We have plenty of Fall Releases that are going to be highlighted in the last two and a half months [...]

Trying her best to ignore the music Miss Letitia had picked for the service, Brooke clenched her hands together to keep them still and wondered if she could get up to give her own eulogy to the little lady they were remembering today. Not one thing. They hadn't allowed one of Mamie's requests to be [...]
