I used to think of myself as unorganized. I’m a true 7 on the Enneagram. I’m not much of a planner, and I love to live in the moment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Two years ago when I started my journey as an author, I was winging it. I didn’t plan. I didn’t structure. But I’m realizing I did organize.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It surprised me to dig up my first manuscript and see the same sticky note with First Draft scrawled in ink. I’ve done that with every book and didn’t realize it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe there is hope for this self-proclaimed scatterbrained woman after all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you plan and organize or do you surprise yourself?

This might be Christmas Card worthy. Thankful to be surrounded by my favorite people on this beautiful day.

Tomorrow at this time I will be getting ready to sit down to a feast of no less than seven dishes with my wonderful family. Am I stressed about setting the perfect table or cooking a delectable meal?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe a little. But then again, this is my family. My family doesn't mind if I burn the turkey, or undercook the potatoes. They love me for the terrible cook I am. Plus I will ply them with mimosas and wine. Lots and lots of wine.

My characters call to me. They beg to be written. They want their stories told. In the back of mind, they wait-ready to pounce when my mind wanders.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hear you. I’m listening. I can’t wait to share you with the world.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Book Three in the Aloha Series coming in April 2021.

I’ve always wanted to travel the world , but sometimes the best views are in our own backyard.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m so lucky to live in the Carolinas where we have the best of every season. Right now it’s still warm enough for shorts on a sunny day in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These views inspired me to write a series about love set in my beautiful state of North Carolina.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s your favorite thing about where you live?

They say opposites attract, but Lacey Donovan can’t see herself falling for a man like Beckett Vinroot. A buttoned-up Bossman with horrible taste in music, she doesn’t think he’s her type at all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Beckett has other ideas...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Love, Lacey Donovan is a small-town romance featuring a tattooed dog walker and a millionaire with a big secret. It’s the first in a new series set in Mossy Oak, North Carolina. It’s sweet and steamy and perfect for bookworms who love hot book boyfriends and a happily every after.

Happy Veteran’s Day! Thank you to all the veterans for your service.

This photo was taken right before my grandfather shipped off to war in 1942. He and my grandmother got married and then he left and they didn’t see each other again after the war was over.

They were married for 43 years, and were each other’s soul mates.

Do you believe in soul mates?

I'm going back to Hawaii! I'm excited to be revisiting some old familiar characters in Book Three of the Aloha Series.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I got the idea to write a story about a bet gone wrong after watching How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is so much going on in this story! I am still in the weeds, trying to figure out what the heck my characters are up to.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's a hint: these two characters have off-the-charts chemistry.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can't wait for you to meet them. 💕🔥😘

This is one of the greatest pieces of advice I've ever been given. This goes for fiction as well as life. I want to see it, not hear about it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have a personal motto?

After you finish a really good book do you have that "what now?" feeling? 😫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes I want to start a new book right away so that I can keep feeling that high.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes I want to sit with the feeling of the book for a while.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And then...I look at my TBR (to be read) pile. The pause is over. Time for another read. I'm greedy like that. Always chasing the next feel-good moment that a great book can provide.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who's the author you can always count on to make you pause? See mine below...

Thoughts of cooler weather fill my mind as the leaves fall from the trees and the nights come too quickly. When darkness envelops, how do we reckon with mistakes we've made in the light of day?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bravery demands a heart of hope, but mine is full of uncertainty. What will tomorrow bring?

I have a confession. I collect coffee mugs. I don’t like the idea of collecting anything. I hate clutter. But these coffee cups from Starbucks’ Been There Series is so fun!! Every morning I get one down and think “where do I want to go today?”

Twenty years ago I was a bride. We tied the knot in a dairy barn built in the 1940s on over 2100 acres of natural area. It was not the church wedding that was expected of me, but it turned out just perfect! Minus our photographer smoking a joint with the groom and missing taking photos of the Father Daughter dance.

Seriously, nothing is off-limits. I pick stuff up wherever I go. Sometimes I don't even realize I'm doing it. My mom (aka my number one fan) read an early copy of my new release and texted me to let me know she loved how I used her in my book.
I was like WTF? What did I use? I had completely forgotten that Lacey Donovan's big heart-break and argument against love was inspired by my mom. Whoops. Sorry mom. I stole your story.
My fellow authors, are you guilty of doing this?
