2 MORE DAYS! Until the World-Wide Release of Flash of Love

It's the final countdown to release day of the final book in the Midlife in Aura Cove series. I cannot wait to hear what readers think about the ending. 

The Pacific Northwest is a DREAM!

As a child of the '80s, no movie captured my imagination quite like The Goonies. It ignited a dream to one day see Haystack Rock in person, and last week, I finally made that dream a reality.

The Oregon coast is absolutely breathtaking—every bit as picturesque as Scotland, yet more accessible. I've completely fallen in love with it. We explored tide pools, indulged in incredible food, and I reset my 'beach clock' with countless barefoot walks along the ocean's edge. Now, a new dream has taken root: to one day own a piece of this magical coastline, where I can spend my summers writing novels from my tiny house. With a little luck, maybe my books will help turn that dream into reality.

Travel inspires my writing. 

Travel fuels my creativity like nothing else. Some of my most transformative personal breakthroughs have come when I’ve completely unplugged and immersed myself in a new place. Oregon is no exception—you can definitely expect it to inspire future stories.

While you're waiting, why not explore two books from my backlist? Scotland with a Stranger is an autobiographical travel memoir—some events are raw and controversial, yet readers call it deeply moving. Up in the Middle of Nowhere is a fiction tale inspired by real experiences. If you're nearing the empty nest stage of parenthood, Nova and Tessa’s journey will resonate with you in all the best ways.

Currently Reading: The Overnight Guest

This is a gripping thriller from an Iowan author, and I loved the familiar backdrop. She skillfully weaves together three compelling plot lines, keeping you hooked throughout. The ending could have used a bit more finesse, as it felt a little drawn out, but overall, it's a solid and enjoyable read.
