Book Tour: The Restitution
This is the third installment in the Legacy of the King’s Pirates, and M.L. Tyndall whisks us back in time to 1669 and the Caribbean. As I read the book, I could almost feel the wind whip through my hair and the salt spray pelt my skin. Lady Isabel Ashton is back…this time with her baby in her arms until …
Dreaming…
Last week was the ACFW National Conference. And this year was awesome! Over the last two years, the conference has become a highlight of my year.

Hey, the gal “let” me steal fries from her last year at the ACFW conference. (Not that she had a choice of course 🙂 ) Camy writes romance with a kick of …
Post-Conference Debrief

She also was heavily influenced by the Lord of the Rings trilogy on film—the grandeur of an epic story, with a …
