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 […]
So I just turned in my sixth novel! We haven’t even begun to edit it, and the title is still TBD, and it’s still early days (because it won’t go on sale for a year or so)–but I have that giddy, in-love feeling you get when you’ve just written something with some real magic in […]

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. Getting the word out about a new book is never easy! You can help out by SHARING THESE QUOTES (or others!) in any way you like! Drag them to […]
It’s been a heck of a week! We had a FANTASTIC crowd at the launch for The Lost Husband this week! It felt like there were a thousand people there, which can’t be right. But it was standing-room-only, and Brazos Bookstore sold out of books. I am so grateful to all the people who came […]
So I went to Ikea the other day. And I bought this clock. I’d been looking online for something cheery for our kitchen, but I hadn’t found anything. And I was getting impatient, because I kept glancing at the bare wall where a clock should have been. This one seemed fine. And cheap! And kinda […]
