Once there was an author who read voraciously trying to figure out where her place in publishing was. Her agent told her to read Everywhere that Mary Went by Lisa Scottoline. This author read it…and loved it. And went on to read many more of Lisa Scottoline’s books. Fast forward ten years and this author was now writing legal …
This week three of my kids and I are home in North Platte for an early Christmas and for my niece’s wedding. We’ve had a wonderful time with family, lots of games, laughter, and cousins running wild. But today I wanted to share some photos and a short video from locations featured in Canteen Dreams (my first book, an award-winner …
What do you love in a novel? I want a book that won’t let me forget about it. One that forces me to keep reading long after I should be asleep or doing anything else. That’s also what I try to write. That’s why this endorsement from Robert Whitlow makes me smile. He knows how to write those …
Ever since I researched 1940s Hollywood for Stars in the Night, I’ve been a bigger fan than ever of classic movies. Growing up, my favorite movies were from the 30s and 40s…that hasn’t changed. There’s something I love about the simplicity of that time that shines through in movies that make me laugh and feel. So today I thought I’d …
Because I write romantic suspense in a legal setting, it is always my goal to have an intricate plot that engages readers from the very beginning. Lethal Intent is also different from my other books because it starts with Carolyn and Brandon moving their friendship forward in ways readers have been begging to have happen. Such fun! Then it immediately …
One nerve-wracking thing I get to do as an author is ask other authors (ones who’s books I read and love) to read my book babies for possible endorsement. It makes me nervous and keeps me humble! It was such a thrill when Lynn Blackburn squeezed in the time to read Lethal Intent. I LOVE her books. Really I can’t …
It’s Thanksgiving week, so my thoughts have turned to gratitude. Maybe yours have, too. It’s Thanksgiving and @Cara_putman is grateful for readers. She’s #givingaway Hidden Justice series and Flight Risk. Click To Tweet There’s so much to be grateful for, even more in a year that has been far from normal…what is normal anyway? This year I want to fix …
A true reader loves to reread books. Ah, yes. There are so many books that I’ve read so often the words are practically embedded in my brain. Danger in the Shadows by Dee Henderson. Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery. In His Image by Jen Wilkin. Randy Singer and Lisa …
So many fantastics books have come out lately. I’ve been reading as my to be read pile comtinues to grow. There’s something about the temperatures turning cooler (and the grading piling up!) that makes me want to curl up with books. Today I thought I’d share a few of my recent favorites. I’d love to know what you’re reading and …
