About Me

I’m thrilled that you stopped by, and hope you’ll enjoy your visit at my online home!

I write inspirational romance with an international twist, with stories that uplift and encourage. Heroes with honor and integrity and strong, can-do heroines are my thing. And the good guys always get their happy ending. My fiction reflects my Christian faith.

I’m not a fan of writing about myself, but here goes. I used to be a lot of things: a journalist, a communications manager for a health activist group, and a freelance copywriter.

Before all that, I was a diplomatic brat, trailing along as my mother’s job took us to various diverse locations around the world.

Now, I’m homeschooling my children in the east of England and devoting every spare moment to writing.

Under this pen name, my focus is on romance, but I also dabble in a number of other genres.

Happy Hump Day! Is it just me or does this week an Happy Hump Day! Is it just me or does this week and this month seem waaaay longer than normal? I feel as if January has already gone on for over a month. Can you believe it's not even been three weeks since New Year's Day?

Did your love of reading begin as a child, or did Did your love of reading begin as a child, or did it come later in life? My mother told me I started reading when I was three. My husband began when he was seven. He clearly remembers his first reading lesson, while I can't recall ever not knowing how. But now, when we're both decidedly middle-aged, it's impossible to tell which of us was the early reader and who started a little later. 😊 What matters is that we both got there in the end. Have you always loved to read?

True story: the last book I read that made me cry True story: the last book I read that made me cry was The House in Pooh Corner by AA Milne. I was reading it to my children a couple of months ago and teared up at the end when Christopher Robin is leaving his toy friends. 😭 He's saying goodbye, and Pooh doesn't get it. I'm getting misty-eyed right now just thinking about it. It's so beautiful and yet so achingly sad! Today is Winnie the Pooh Day, so I had to give a shoutout to those timeless stories. What's the last book you read that made you cry? And, yes, children's books totally count!

I've been thinking a lot about sowing seeds lately I've been thinking a lot about sowing seeds lately. Not the plant kind, because every plant I've attempted to grow withers and dies. 😅 But other kinds of seeds have been on my mind. You know the ones: little things you plant and nurture faithfully, until one day they grow into big things. Stephen Covey, perhaps quoting someone else, said, "Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny." I believe this is based on the Biblical principle of sowing and reaping, as in Proverbs 11:18: "to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward."

I hope I'll be a lot more successful with my spiritual seeds than my physical ones! Happy Sunday!

This week, I've been reading Least Expected, an ov This week, I've been reading Least Expected, an over-50s romance by @autumnmacarthur . I was immediately charmed by the story of Maggie, a rainbow-haired set designer who, as she herself puts it, “can’t spell demure, let alone act it.” 🤣 She meets store owner Edgar, who’s got the reputation of being a stuffed shirt living under the thumb of his domineering mother. Their attraction is instant, but the way ahead is far from smooth. I loved reading about how this middle-aged couple opened up to each other and trusted God to give them more than they ever imagined would be possible.

Least Expected is part of a boxed set of four books called What Happens in London. The whole set is on sale on Amazon right now for just 99 cents, but that price won’t last forever. Grab it while you can!

"Set your course by the stars, not by the lights o "Set your course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ship." I love this quote from a man who lived through, and fought in, two world wars. I'm in the process of deciding which things are passing ships and which are firm and worth setting my course by. Sometimes, as Gen. Bradley knew, passing ships can seem a lot bigger and brighter than the stars. But I'm striving to shut out the noise and flashing lights and navigate by eternal unshakable truths.

Which famous author would you like to meet? Franci Which famous author would you like to meet? Francine Rivers, for me. And if I include those who have passed on, I would love to know Jane Austen's process. Did she use beta readers? Was she a plotter or a pantser? Did her hand ever get cramped from writing those books longhand... with a quill?

Do you have a favorite book you love to re-read? O Do you have a favorite book you love to re-read? Or perhaps, like me, you have a stack of them? I have too many to list, but I'd have to include the Lord of the Rings, anything by Jane Austen, Francine Rivers, Frank Peretti and Grace Livingston Hill. 😊 I'm about to delve into my semi-annual re-read of the Lord of the Rings audiobooks, performed by the peerless Rob Inglis.

Ebook? Print? Or audio? What's your favorite forma Ebook? Print? Or audio? What's your favorite format to read? It's a tough choice for me between print and audio. Print because I love touching those pages, and nothing beats the smell of a new book. But I can "read" audiobooks while getting other things done. I love ebooks, too, because I can highlight and make notes. If I really, really, really like a book, I might even get all three formats. 😁 How do you like to consume your books?

My big word for this year is diligence. I struggle My big word for this year is diligence. I struggle with holding the line when I don't see quick results. I want things to happen yesterday! But as a homeschooling mother, an author, and an entrepreneur, God has given me work that does not have quick results. It requires showing up every day, doing what's needful faithfully and consistently, even when I don't immediately see the benefits. Days and even weeks can go by when I see no fruit. That's when, like Abraham's wife, I'm tempted to prod things along with a bright suggestion or a shiny new idea that leads to an Ishmael. And we all know how that turns out. So, diligence. Anyone else need to be diligent in 2021?

I love to set goals and make big plans! And I've g I love to set goals and make big plans! And I've got a ton of plans for this year. But if 2020 taught me one thing, it was that while it's all very well to organize and make plans, I need to lay them before God and trust Him for the outcome. May He order your steps and mine this year.

Who else thinks we need more Christian romance nov Who else thinks we need more Christian romance novels involving married couples rediscovering their love? I know I'm not the only one who wants to read stories like this. @emilydanabotrous_author knocked it out of the park with her latest novel, The Miracle of Mistletoe. Colt and Marcy eloped after a whirlwind romance but now their past hurts, secret pain, and trauma have raised a barrier between them, and their marriage is in serious trouble. Check out the link in my bio to see where to get this beautiful story.

Happy new year!!! We begin 2021 under "Tier 4" COV Happy new year!!! We begin 2021 under "Tier 4" COVID restrictions, which means we can only leave home when we have a "reasonable excuse." Despite that, this is the year that the Lord has made, and I'm excited to see what He has in store. God is still on His throne, and I'm still His beloved child. Blessings and shalom to you! 😊
