There are moments in an author’s life that stop you in your tracks. For me, this was one of them. When I first wrote Dust and Inheritance, I had no idea how many readers would connect with Millie Caldwell, Clem Spyker, and the rugged Montana land that sits at the heart of this story. I

Every now and then, I get the chance to do something fun for readers, and this weekend is one of those times. For a very limited time, my clean historical western romance Dust and Inheritance is available free on Amazon. This story begins with a one-way ticket to Montana, a stubborn woman determined to finish

Boots and Stilettos review and more. There are few things better for an author than hearing from a real reader. Not a sales report. Also not a dashboard. And not an algorithm deciding whether your book deserves attention this week. A real reader. I recently received an email from someone who read Boots and Stilettos,
The Genre Whiplash Author Experience Let’s talk about genre whiplash author experience. Some authors have “a brand.” I have… a mild case of literary split personality. One day I’m writing covert ops, coded messages, surveillance, and that feeling that someone is always watching. The next day I’m out on the Spyker Ranch, where the danger
