thanks givings

for sunshine and blue skies after some much needed rain
for Bruiser’s new summer ‘do. 
Means less fur on the carpet for a few months.
for comfort during a storm.
Bruiser slept through a thunderstorm for the first time in eight years. Hope this shirt works just as well for fireworks! 

for words of comfort from God. 
The same God Who created the earth loves us and promises to never leave us, that we don’t need to be afraid. 
“The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” (Deut 31:8 TNIV)

SMALL TOWN TREASURE releases June 22!

Hey friends.

I’m excited to announce that Small Town Treasure releases with White Rose Publishing on June 22 in e-book format only. It’s a deliciously, sweet romance, and tops out at a whopping 41 pages. 

Here’s a little about Small Town Treasure:

Five years ago, Emily Mannerson escaped small town living and moved to the big city where nobody knew “poor little Emily” and her miserable background. Now an attorney, Emily longs for what she left behind…her adopted mother and high-school sweetheart. 


Fire captain Matthew Westerly treasures his small town of Journey Creek and values faith, family, and friendships. When he rescues Emily from a horrific car accident, he’s determined to win her back and make up for the lost years. Can a big city girl and a small town boy discover their true treasure? Will they trust God to work a miracle?

I’m seeking influencers who can help me get the word out about Small Town Treasure by posting a review on Amazon and Pelican Book Group or by buzzing about it on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Shoutlife…wherever you hang out online. 


I have a limited number of watermarked pdf copies, so please let me know if you’re interested as soon as possible. Leave a comment here on this blog or email me at
