Periodically, I’m asked to give tips on writing reviews. I’m always glad to help people feel more comfortable spreading the word about books they love. I love to tell everyone about books that I love…and now that I’m an author, I know just how much a well written review — even if it’s a few sentences can help authors. Many …

If you love romances set in the west: 5 authors you should read
Love cowboys? A romance set in Texas or the West? Then I have a few authors you should definitely check out.
The Daughter of Highland Hall
If you’re a fan of Downton Abbey, you should read Carrie Turansky’s books. The Daughter of Highland Hall is the second of her books in the Edwardian Brides series, but stands on its own. At its essence it is a story of a young woman who is pressed by expectations so high there is no way she can meet them. …

The way Max Lucado highlights the true father-child relationship of prayer. I read passages …
Four Books I Inhaled

Three of the books were read on various flights, and all are quite different. I think you’ll enjoy at least a few of them! Romantic Suspense is one of my favorite genres …
Two books I’ve loved: suspense and romcom
Okay, so these two books are about as different as you can get…yet I read and enjoyed them both in the last couple weeks. What can I say? I like to read broadly. Lynette Eason‘s Nowhere to Turn is a page-turner of a romantic suspense. Danielle Harding just wants to escape her abusive husband. The day she has the courage …
Two Historicals with Heft and Humor
I don’t have time to read right now. Classes just kicked off again last weekend, and studying is filling my time. However, reading is like breathing…so I have to read…but only books that capture me will get finished in any kind of speed time. I am delighted that the last two books were exactly that type. You’ll notice I’m on a …
