I recently realized that the last time I sent any sort of update was five days before A Soul as Cold as Frost was launched. So, I'm shooting you a message to let you know all that's happened since then, and what's coming, and boy oh boy. Being a published author has been a real … Continue reading All Things Book (and not!)

Funny Story
Well, friends, it's happening. I've dragged myself through parts of this process, and I've skipped like a giddy schoolgirl through other parts, but I'm so close to having everything ready that I can practically taste all the wintery flavours I've jam-packed into this book.

Nearing the Finish Line

Straight up, I have a lot of books. That shouldn't come as much of a surprise to many of you. At Christmas, most of my presents are fresh printer-and-ink-smelling rectangles in tacky Christmas wrap, simply because I make it easy for my husband to guess what I want by constantly adding a pile of Marissa … Continue reading Can I be in your Shelfie?
NaNoWriMo
Yes, it's been a little while since we've talked. But I have good reasons, well, at least I think they are pretty good. After the Set Free Worship Conference I needed to take a big exhale and just let everything come back to me before I shared some of the amazing stuff that God did. … Continue reading NaNoWriMo
