File this under happy accidents! As you may or may not be aware, I have self-published a new book this summer (Summer Camp Cold Case) and have two other self-publishing projects in the works. An author friend introduced me to a fabulous new to me cover designer (Blue Moon Creative Studio) and while perusing their portfolio for covers, I stumbled onto a version of the cover above and knew it was perfect for…

How cool is this?! I'm so excited to share that today is release day for the Italian edition of Finders Keepers, Cowboy. Having a book picked up by a foreign publisher and translated was one of my author goals. I'm thrilled that it came true (guess it's time to start really manifesting the TV movie adaptation). I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the amazing team at Rowan Prose for believing in my stories and helping make this happen!

A sneak peek inside my latest release, a Christian romantic suspense novel Chapter One With one road in and out, Emma Lynde could navigate from Camp Promise to her hometown of Shaunitoc, Wisconsin with her eyes closed. Under better circumstances, she might enjoy the ride. She hadn’t been back for a visit lasting more than a few days in years and always loved the scenic vistas on the stretch of two-lane highway.

Hey everyone! When you open your copy of Summer Camp Cold Case, a novel I'm self-publishing in July, you're going to see something a little different on the copyright page. Human authored certification. Yep, we've now reached a point where we are certifying that we, human authors, are writing our own words. I'll be honest, having my words stolen to train LLMs was crushing.

Chapter One Deep, dark, and disturbed. Seth Boyd leaned over the tour boat’s railing and stared down into the bottomless water of Lake Superior’s southern shore. He’d long theorized that this very spot was the sanctuary for a mythical—and all too real—creature he’d hunted since childhood. Over the past six months, the legend had transformed him from small-town printshop owner to minor internet sensation.

Thank you for a great release day on Tuesday. I'm so excited that the Shores of Loon Lake is officially completed and published. I know readers have been waiting for Seth's book, and I hope you enjoy it. I have considered the idea of writing something for everyone's favorite ice cream scooper, Zach Jenkins. Every so often, I work on it a little bit.

The Monster of Loon Lake is NOW AVAILABLE Small towns harbor big secrets... SETH BOYD has become Loon Lake’s unlikely celebrity. Since self-publishing his memoir about searching for the Lake Superior monster, aka Soupy, he has gained national attention. He hopes the newfound focus will help locate Soupy once and for all. He’s also happy to bring tourism to the town and hopes his longtime crush, ELISE MCKENNA, approves.

Ta-da! I'm thrilled to share the covers for my sweet, romantic suspense novels, coming from Rowan Prose in 2027. Aren't these gorgeous? Her First Heist and Her Last Estate make up the Art of the Crime duet. I started drafting these years ago (tapping into my background working in an auction house) but wasn't sure what to do. Both are a departure from my typical romances.

Danielle Winter brushed the stray hair off her face with the back of her paint-splattered left hand. She tightened her right-handed grip on the roller and painted a blue streak across the plywood backdrop. If she wanted her brand-new dinner theater to open on time, she couldn’t waste a second fixing a ponytail. She shook her head. Wanted was too weak a verb.

My updated, gender-swapped re-telling of Holiday Inn is BACK! No updates to this edition, besides the cover refresh. If you haven't read it before, you don't want to miss it. Dani Winter can’t let anything stop her from opening her holidays only dinner theater and earning success on her own terms. The distractingly handsome detractor in her midst is hardly her first critic.

It's been a while since I've posted. Yikes! All I can say is that May is always busy. Maybe next year, when my oldest is a licensed driver (gulp), I won't spend so much time running around.
