As we get closer and closer to the anniversary of both the surrender of General Lee to General Grant at Appomattox on April 9, 1865, AND the assassination of Lincoln, April 14-15, 1865, watch for offers for free downloads of The Bride Price. On March 18, 1865, John Wilkes Booth played Pescara in "The Apostate"...I wonder if he was practicing for his role as the loathsome assassin to the beloved

Emma Wellington has found herself transported back to the Civil War. She has been reunited with her sister, Sophie, and they are getting ready for dinner. She has no idea that Clayton Madden, the man who rescued her, is searching for her. Emma sat in front of the fire while Sophie attempted to pin her hair into some semblance of a nineteenth-century style. “Ow!” Emma grabbed her head. “Ease

Okay folks, this weekend was an eye-opening experience. As a Christian writing fiction, I have found it challenging to straddle the line between my beliefs and fun, entertaining stories with an edge. I have always considered myself to be a bit like the band, U2...a Christian in a band, not a Christian band, and have approached my writing that way. I love romance...in my life, in my books, in my

So, I've been doing this writing thing for a little while now. About two years...and just when I think I've given my editor something she isn't really going to need to edit, BAM, she edits the crap out of it. So, a little back-story. In June 2008, I thought I'd write a little story. Six novels poured out of me in eight-months (some of you have heard this story, so I won't spell out the

I see a lot of posts, blogs and tweets about New Year's resolutions going on. I'm personally useless at following through on resolutions, so I typically refrain from making them, but this year I have resolved to release at least two novels...and write another two. I'm already biting my fingernails. :) Have any of you made any? If so, what are they?
