So excited to do a little Q&A with the lovely Vicky Wight, the writer/director who is bringing The Lost Husband to the big screen! Vicky is one of my favorite people. She’s gracious and lovely with a wry sense of humor and a tenacious bravery that I so admire. Every time I’m around her, I […]
Hello there! Let me introduce you to my NEW BOOK! It’s not on sale until August 2019, but you can PRE-ORDER here! Cassie Hanwell was born for emergencies. As one of the only female firefighters in her Texas firehouse, she’s seen her fair share of them, and she’s a total pro at other people’s tragedies. But when […]

So beyond thrilled to share the cover for my upcoming book, How to Walk Away. I love everything about it. The font! The red! The flowers! Actually, our front door is red, and I painted flowers all over it last spring. So this basically could be our front door. I’m a total cover junkie. I’ve […]

The lovely and hilarious Karen Walrond and I just collaborated on a project. I started out wanting to make a book trailer for my new book, but we wound up doing a video about my writing process. That’s me talking in the video, trying to say something coherent about why I write the kinds of […]
In the weeks leading up to the on sale date of my new novel, Happiness For Beginners (March 2015), I’m celebrating by making images of my favorite quotes from the book.
