Resolution Status: Immediate Fail. Audiobook Status: Released!
Welcome to 2026! I spent a wonderful holiday season surrounded by my darlings and granddarlings, which included the arrival of our incredible granddarling number two!
But onward we go. I hope your January is off to a gentler start than mine. I’ve already broken my resolution to drink more water by accidentally chugging two Diet Pepsi’s for breakfast. Oops. But hey, I did manage to make significant progress on my newest WIP. (That stands for Work-in-Progress for the newbies here. Welcome to the club, BTW!)
Speaking of my WIP, there have been some major changes since I partnered with the amazing Vinci Books. My travel writer series (AKA Passport to Misadventure) is on hold yet again, but I haven’t given up hope that one day, Emerald Isle Escape, will see the light of day.
In the meantime, I’m 2/3 – ¾ of the way through writing BEYOND THE STORM, the long-awaited third novel in the Arms of Grace series. It has been like old home week getting reacquainted with these characters that have been a part of my life for so long. I hope you’ll enjoy revisiting their lives as I did. I’ll keep you posted on the release date once it gets closer, but we’re looking at a late spring timeframe. Find out more by clicking the cover.
Speaking of the Arms of Grace series, I have exciting news! The audiobook edition of LITTLE LOST THINGS is now available on Audible! If you’ve been waiting to listen while folding laundry, commuting, or pretending to pay attention during Zoom calls (no judgment), now’s your chance. The narrator absolutely nailed it, and I may have teared up listening to a scene I wrote myself, which is either very moving or deeply embarrassing. Thanks to Podium Entertainment for doing such a fantastic job on the production, as always! You can find your copy by clicking the cover. Enjoy!
I’m looking forward to exciting new paths and other fun in the new year! Thanks for being here and starting 2026 with me. Here’s to new stories, cozy reads, and maybe, just maybe, me remembering to drink that water.
All my best,
PS -I almost forgot: Check out the shiny new covers for The Master’s Protégé trilogy here.
