It's hard to believe we are steamrolling toward spring already! With spring comes showers and flowers, which is the perfect seque to my upcoming new release, THE BEAUTY OF RAIN. I feel so blessed to have received such glowing praise from authors I hold in high esteem. Similarly, I could not be...
Earlier in my career, I was publishing three books each year. It was a grueling schedule that I do not miss. That said, I do miss having multiple new releases each year.
