Happy Autumn, Friend! The Fall Giveaway is here! That means it’s officially October 1st! So let’s celebrate what I personally think is the most wonderful time of the year by jumping into a Fall Giveaway for 2024!

Dear Friend, Christmas in July 2024! It’s here! Again! Well…nearly here! I say this often, but it still surprises me just how quickly time flies. This is the last full week in June. Oh, my! And next week starts the Great Homeschool Convention’s really neat Christmas in July Sweepstakes! I get excited for this every…
Dear Friend, A+ Content on Amazon is finally here! Hooray! What is this? A+ Amazon Content is a fun, neat way to “dress up” The Lost King’s Daughter’s page on Amazon! I’ve had my eye on creating a (hopefully) eye-catching and pleasing way to tell more of Finockt’s story in a quick, clear way on…
Dear Friend, Here it is! The Realm Maker’s Award News! This is terrible, but I actually can’t remember whether I shared with you the fact that I entered the Realm Maker’s Award competition way back in January of this year! But I did! What is the Realm Maker’s Award? As I shared in an earlier…

This necklace’s inspiration is one that has been near and dear to my heart for a very long time. I confess, it’s been neat to be able to weave a tangible memory into my debut novel in a…
Dear Friend, Random Story Facts-Part 3-Finockt’s Red hair is an interesting one in my opinion! What started as a very unique trait for my main character slowly became a “thing of the past,” to my chagrin. Why?

Dear Friend, Modified Audiobook? My excitement grows as I reflect on what a fellow GHC (Great Homeschool Convention) attendee shared with me a couple of weeks ago! At the convention, we got to chatting about life, ancestry, and eventually, books-of course!! 🙂 He asked me if I had an audiobook available, which is something several…
