It started with a dream that wouldn’t leave me alone.
Even after ten years—and countless other projects—Rollins of Riverview kept tugging at my heart. Katie and Lance weren’t just characters. They were two souls on a journey I had to tell, no matter how long it took to get it right.
Looking Back
Crazy how fast time flies, isn’t it? I wrote the first draft of this book over a decade ago. If I could go back and have a serious talk with younger me… well, let’s just say it would be a long...
It started with a shift in my own reading life.
As a teenager, I gravitated toward light-hearted books that kept things easy. Even as an adult, I still leaned that way—after all, life is hard enough, right? Why would anyone choose to read about the heavy stuff?
But as I grew in both faith and life experience, I realized something: the hard things I’d been through—the scars I carried—were part of what shaped me into who I am today. And if that was true for me, it needed to be true for my...
It started with the dream of making books that felt special—inside and out.
When I became an author, I thought my main challenge would be writing stories that drew readers in. But over the years, I learned another truth: a book isn’t just words on a page. It’s an experience. And that experience starts the second someone sees the cover.
Why the Cover Matters
They say not to judge a book by its cover, but let’s be honest—we all do (don't try to deny it ). The cover is the first thing we see,...
It started with a story I’d been carrying since I was sixteen.
Luke and LeAnn weren’t just characters—they were the spark that lit my dream of becoming an author. And though the path to their finished book took many twists and turns, I can honestly say it was worth every single step.
Looking Back
Luke has always been strong, brave—a hero among men. From the start, I knew he was meant to be a Texas Ranger. Maybe it was all those ’90s episodes of Walker, Texas Ranger , but mostly, it was...
It started with two characters I couldn’t let go of.
Seth and Sophia weren’t just side notes in their children’s lives. They were the heartbeat of the Rollins family—the couple whose love story became the foundation of everything that followed. And when I finally sat down to write their book, I realized this wasn’t just going to be a prequel… it was going to be the story that set the tone for the entire series.
Looking Back
Ten years ago, I thought I was ready. I wrote their children’s...
It’s hard to believe it’s already been a week since my last blog post!
Time really does fly when you’re chasing a dream. But today, I want to slow down for a moment and reflect on something far more important than word counts, deadlines, or even book releases—the incredible people who have walked beside me and made this journey possible.
Writing can feel like a solitary road at times, but I’ve never truly traveled it alone. There have been so many voices of encouragement, hands lifting me...
It started with a scene I couldn’t get out of my head.
I was sixteen when the idea first came to me—one vivid moment that refused to fade. Ten years ago, I finally sat down to write it, and that spark became the rough draft of An Angel for a Ranger. At the time, I was young, broke, and had absolutely no idea what I was doing.
I laugh about it now, but back then, I published it in rough draft form under the title Angel Ranger and quickly followed it with two sequels—The Half-Breed’s Bride and...
