About Me

My photo
Writing is in my soul. And it always has been. It's something I have to do. Any writer will tell you that we are not given a choice. The words come at us, sometimes like a raging wind storm blowing in off the prairie, sometimes like a gentle rain falling in a meadow. Ignoring them is futile because stories and story ideas are relentless. They've been popping into my head since I was little. Not a day goes by that I don't think about a new story that needs to be written down. I've had a cookbook, a children's book, and two novels published, in addition to being a contributor to 16 Chicken Soup for the Soul books. I've also had more articles published than I can recall. My latest novel, The Wedding Dress Quilt was published in August of 2024.

On the Home Stretch

    For those of you who have asked if there will be a sequel to The Wedding Dress Quilt and, if so, when, I have big news to share with you. The Mercy Quilt, aka the sequel, will be available at the end of February 2026. 

    You can preorder a copy here: https://ctpub.com/collections/fiction-and-mysteries/products/the-mercy-quilt?_pos=10&_fid=bef28bb9d&_ss=c&filter.p.m.custom.show_in_store=1

And if you are a book, library, or quilt store and you wish to order multiple copies, you can preorder now through whatever book ordering service you use, or check this page on the C&T website for a list of  distributors: https://ctpub.com/pages/retailer-info

    I am currently buried in front of my laptop reviewing the final layout of the book, looking for typos, and any other errors we don't want to see make it into the final print version or ebook. This is the very last review. If I miss anything here, well, you'll see it when you read the book. The senior editor, copy editor, and graphic designer have done an extraordinary job of finding every tiny minutiae that needs fixing. Even so, they are human, and we're dealing with machines and software here, which means things like extra spaces and extra lines slip through. I'm trying to pace myself as I have five days to finish my review and sign off on it so C&T can send it off to print. I'm also trying to keep the butterflies in my stomach from doing a major flip-flop. I'm so nervous I'll miss something! I just have to get through it as I've done with previous books. It's not like this is something new. You'd think I'd be used to this process by now. What I can tell you with great pride is how beautiful the book is, both inside and out. Yes, the cover is lovely; but the inside, which includes the font, the title pages, and special characters the graphic designer used gives the book a very special look and feel. I think you're gonna love it. 




    Till Next Time,
