Did I just admit to reading the last page of a novel before starting at the beginning?? Whoops. Secret’s out, I live for spoilers. If like the end of the story, then I’ll take the trouble to read it. If I like the cover, I’ll take the trouble to read it. Well, whether you do judge a book by it’s cover, or it’s last page like I do (or the carefully worded back cover description that’s meant to sell the book), here’s a look at the front cover of my upcoming novel, The Tempo of

My novel, The Tempo of Kindness, releases July 21, 2020! It’s a story about a young man discovering his place and his purpose, with the help of his grandma, a sassy florist, and a nosy crow. An unsuccessful musician, Beau stays with his grandma for the summer after the passing of his grandpa. Finding she has next to nothing, he’s determined to help her. When he’s at his lowest, he shows kindness to a crow and they form an unlikely bond. In comes Kate, who’s a successful flori

I’ve been working hard on my next release. My second novel, The Tempo of Kindness, was originally a (winning!) Nanowrimo project. My husband had an idea for a simple story element. I found it interesting. So, I added characters, a love interest, backstories, plot events…basically the rest of the novel. After undergoing four or five rounds of editing, this novel is ready for the world! An unsuccessful musician, Beau lives with his grandma for the summer after the passing of hi

Her family is hurting. Her career is on hold. He finds the perfect subject. Working together has them learning to set aside their differences and look beyond themselves. This is a story of loss, love, faith, and family. My debut Novel, Finding Grace, releases March 2020!

It’s been over a year since I first began querying my novel Finding Grace. I’ve weathered the querying process, and in the meantime, the novel has been edited, polished, and is waiting for its time to shine. I set aside work on this novel during Nanowrimo. But now that November is over, I’ve gone back to my plans for Finding Grace. You’ll have to wait for more on that, but in the meantime, enjoy this aesthetic! On a trip home to see her grandmother, Grace meets Alex, who is p

Remember when I said I had a plan for NaNoWiMo? Well, apparently my plans are made to be broken. I made the 50k word count! I’m not even sure how because I was a day or two or three behind basically the entire month. My story went from my usual coming-of-age/romance to mostly romance. I left plenty of loose ends. And it’s not finished. I didn’t stick to all my plans. I didn’t write out all the scenes I had in my head. I didn’t research enough to go into any sort of depth abou

Who’s freaking out? Not me. Nope. Because I have a plan. Well, sort of. I “planned” this year’s novel by creating two protagonists and some side characters. I summed them up in a few sentences for my own reminders while writing. I also wrote some point form notes on specific scenes and the overall plot. And I may or may not have acted out, under my breath, some of those scenes. For visualization, of course. Speaking of visualization, I made this lovely aesthetic. I’ve said en

NaNoWriMo has taught me to: Actually plan ahead (a little! I’m a planster now instead of a complete panster); Write every day even if it isn’t that good yet – 50k words in 30 days is not going to happen if I deliberate on every sentence; Believe that I can actually do this writing thing! Because even if you don’t make the word count goal, you went for it. And now you have a project to finish. It’s also left me with two WIPs, currently in the editing/querying stage. This year,

I did a fun thing and made a simple story aesthetic for my novel Finding Grace. Grace is a singer-songwriter. Alex is a film student. Making a documentary together has them learning to set aside their differences and look beyond themselves. During their film-making adventure, Grace is equally challenged by Alex’s ambitions and his faith in God. She trusts Alex with her secrets, but will she learn to embrace the goals she once set aside? Finding Grace is a New Adult, Christian
