I’m pleased to announce that False Start is a finalist in the Romance Writers of America’s inaugural Vivian contest. Woohoo! I’m honored the judges thought so highly of my book. Carson might be my favorite VVU player. (But shhh…don’t tell Wyatt, Jake, or Justin!) False Start is in awesome company. […]
via GIPHY It’s official…Letting Go is up for the Colorado Romance Writers’ Award of Excellence. Woohoo! Thanks to the chapter for putting on the contest and the judges for taking time out of their busy schedules to read. The formal announcement is here.

It’s here! It’s here! I have a cover! I’ve been working toward this moment for years–the day I get to see my name (my name!!!) on a book cover. It’s a little surreal, yet oh-so-satisfying. What’s mind-numbing is what this means–soon actual people, other than my friends and family, will read […]
