Some holiday goodies to share…

Hello! And Happy Thanksgiving weekend! I just finished writing a newsletter for my author website and figured I should probably share some of the same info here, especially for my fellow readers. 🙂 I won’t keep you from your families and friends (or shopping) for long—only popping in here to let you know my ebooks… Continue reading Some holiday goodies to share…

Delayed Announcement 🤦🏼‍♀️

So, as much as I anticipate this corner of the year, it sneaks up on me every time.

I Dedicate This Book To…

The other week, I briefly mentioned I plan to give the proceeds of Tinsel in a Tangle to a ministry that helps restore physical and spiritual health to girls rescued from sex trafficking. [Update: The specific ministry I decided to donate to is called Agape International Missions. To learn more, visit them at agapewebsite.org.] This… Continue reading I Dedicate This Book To…
