Memorial Day is the official start of summer tourist season. That’s how we celebrate it because most of us don’t remember what we’re supposed to remember today. Families gather around their backyard barbecue grills or pools. There is laughter, food, fun. Most companies in the United States give their employees a paid holiday. Life is …
This one is a little closer to my heart. 2020 has been a rough year. Everyone has lost something or someone. I know that. But I’m a writer. I process my grief through storytelling. This isn’t part of my NaNoWriMo project, but it definitely has a women’s fiction vibe. Dying but Not Alone She was …
This year, more than others in recent memory, has been plagued with struggles of unique and troublesome sorts for our nation and community. In the midst of this, giving up might seem expedient but I suggest giving thanks instead. It’s been awhile since my year of gratitude (that was 2016), but those #366DaysofGratitude taught me …
Father’s Day is only a few days away, and I’ll admit I haven’t celebrated it with my dad – ever – but I look forward to my sons celebrating it with THEIR dad every year. We do the family barbecue thing. You know, with the dad doing the grilling. Because that’s his thing, and unlike …

For those of you who found your way here thanks to my First Time Lolly hashtag on Instagram, welcome. This is the sort of post you were hoping to see since it details my recent adventures in babysitting. Mostly, it’s just a forum for the proud #firsttimelolly to show off a dozen pictures of the …
If you love small-town romances, you’ll love Sweet Grove, Texas. People there will make you smile. Stories there will leave you feeling content. Tomorrow, the first book I wrote for the First Street Church series will be FREE. I know, free books are one of my favorite things in all the world. I hope you’ll …
I love Sweet Promise Press. And they’re making you a fan too with free books and plenty of tools to get well-written stories into a reader’s eReader. Yes, Sweet Promise Press is a digital-only publisher. Maybe you’re one of those people who only read books with paper pages you can turn. I totally respect that …
