The Balanced Writer: Cover Reveal for Christmas '24

"All morning it has been raining.

In the language of the garden, this is happiness.”

―Mary Oliver

Hey Ya'll!

I hope you’ve had a great “spring fling”. I just returned from Kentucky and seeing my mother who turned 80 years old this past weekend. What a milestone. I would be lucky to turnout and to endure half as well as my mom. She may have been born and raised in Chicago, but she is a true lady, and the South is lucky to have her. I wasn’t blessed with everything I needed in my early life, but God gave me a good momma.

Love Inspired Inspirational Romance News: As you know, The Beekeeper Next Door releases June 25^th and that’s only weeks away. Reviewers have been notified, and I am working on getting those advance copies out. Also, I’m happy to share with you that the book cover for my October release is finished! Sandra Bullock was the inspiration for this career woman comes home romance, and I absolutely loved writing it. A Guardian Till Christmas has a lot of humor in it—and pain. Sometimes loss is the catalyst for the best changes in us. Check out the final cover below!
