A New Short Story
It's hard to believe, but last month I turned in my first manuscript to my publisher for editing. As always, God's timing is perfect. I turned in my manuscript on a Wednesday and that Friday, my mother-in-law ended up in the hospital. It's been a few whirlwind weeks...
An Ivy Hill Christmas by Julie Klassen
An Ivy Hill Christmas by Julie Klassen I'm on a Christmas story binge, and this one happens to be our Online Historical Romance Book Club selection for December. Fans of Pride and Prejudice and Emma will find parallels to those beloved stories. Some scenes and lines...
The Christmas Husband by Lucette Nel
The Christmas Husband by Lucette Nel It's November, which means my Christmas binge of novellas has begun. First up on my TBR pile was this newest release from Lucette Nel. The Christmas Husband is my favorite of her stories so far. For one, Benedict (the hero) is a...
Masquerade at Middlecrest Abbey by Abigail Wilson
Masquerade at Middlecrest Abbey by Abigail Wilson As many of you know, first-person perspectives are NOT my favorite. An author really has to engage me and make me forget I am in the first-person in order for me to really get through the story. That being said, I...
Letters for Phoebe by Sally Britton
Letters for Phoebe by Sally Britton This story was recommended to me by a critique partner because it has elements similar to a story idea we were discussing. Since I was traveling across the country and there are long periods on a plane where you can't have...

True Confessions of a Bookaholic
I don’t know about you, but I have an obsession with books. The movers we hired can attest to that as they moved over 60 boxes of books to our new house several years ago. If we had to move again, I’d say that number has increased by at least 20. Being a simple...
The Bride Bargain by Kelly Eileen Hake
The Bride Bargain by Kelly Eileen Hake I picked a copy of this book a thrift shop while on vacation in Amish Country. With the entire extended family in the car with us, I sat in the back with the shorter people--vertically challenged here--and I discovered I get car...
A Gilded Lady by Elizabeth Camden
A Gilded Lady by Elizabeth Camden I simply could not wait to read this story, especially when I discovered the hero was a Secret Service agent. The male POV of The Spice King enthralled me and I couldn't wait to get inside the head of a Secret Service operative,...
The House at the End of the Moor by Michelle Griep
The House at the End of the Moor by Michelle Griep This has been one of the hardest reviews I've ever written and thus will be a little different than normal. I have been a long-time fanatical fan of Michelle Griep and couldn't wait to read this book. However, when I...
