ALL-NEW from Hope … COMING FOR CHRISTMAS.
November 2026 – Announcing TOGETHER AGAIN AT CHRISTMAS! – PART OF THE IRRESISTIBLE SNOWBOUND CHRISTMAS SERIES.
What an exciting year! The success of Christmas Escape was a wonderful start and since then has inspired me to carry on the holiday tradition with TOGETHER AGAIN AT CHRISTMAS. Featured with other New York Times and USA Today best-selling authors, here’s a sneak peek at TOGETHER AGAIN AT CHRISTMAS:
Left in charge of a soon to open resort, Chloe Swift calls the police when she thinks someone is breaking in. What she doesn’t expect is childhood friend Ethan Beck, who unknowingly broke her heart—twice!—to come to the rescue. Even more unexpected is a massive storm throwing Chloe and Ethan together to battle the elements and the ghosts of their past. Ethan enjoys the trip down memory lane, while Chloe fights to protect her heart from another road to ruin. History and mystery abound in this tender tale of the holidays and about childhood friends struggling to reconcile the past to embrace a future together.

Tea Time is Me Time
Tea time is me time and it’s my favorite time of the day. Enjoying tea with friends, family or just myself is all together one of the most amazing experiences. When I was doing research for HIDDEN IN SHADOWS, I took inspiration from a part-time job I had at a tea shop in Redmond, Washington. It was here that I learned how the right steep time and water temperature can make or break a cup of tea. In addition, I visited a wide variety of tea rooms and tea shops to speak with the proprietors and understand more about tea and how best to enjoy it. Here are some of my favorite tea websites:
My Happy Places
Visiting places for inspiration for stories is one of the best parts of being an author. There are so many beautiful places across our great land. For the ECHO MOUNTAIN SERIES I visited Estes National Park in Colorado to get a flavor for the terrain and the wildlife. For the PORT WHISPER SERIES I spent a lot of time in Coupeville and Port Townsend in Washington State to get a feel for the people and the vibe of these coastal communities. Here is a list of some of my favorite getaways:
Breckenridge, Colorado
Cannon Beach, Oregon
Coupeville, Washington
Pacific Grove, California
Port Townsend, Washington
