Just a little note…

I wanted to take a moment to fill you in on all the things. Since we last spoke, I have been hammering away on my newest computer. For those of you who follow me on social media, you know what happened but for those of you who don’t—I was robbed while on my way to speak at the National Conference for Romance Writers. Yes, my presentation was on the computer that was taken.


In addition to my computer with said presentation, all of my luggage was stolen. It was a mess. I’m sure you can feel me when I say it was a horrible experience to not even have socks when your biggest event of the year is the next day.


However, I am the queen of pivoting. I ended up recovering some clothing on the side of the road in Las Vegas, and I wore them the next day. It was funny, but I can’t say I felt great in those dresses (even though they were beautiful).


As for the books, guys…I have been working away I swear. I have four books coming out in the Big Sky Search and Rescue Series (Book 1 is above) and it is a kick-ass bunch of stories. I did a ton of interviews and even got to help a little in some SAR stuff. It was pretty cool and I’m excited to share more later!


I hope you are doing well and are enjoying the summer!


Many happy reads,

Cover Reveal: Helicopter Rescue, Big Sky Search and Rescue Series, Book 1

One of the best days for an author, aside from writing ‘The End’ on a project, is the day we get our covers. This book and series have been in my heart for a few years now and to see the cover makes it all oh-so real.

Welcome to the world, Helicopter Rescue!

They survived the crash
Can they endure the aftermath?


Walking away from a helicopter crash should have been a relief to search and rescue pilot Casper Keller. Yet after a trek through the Montana mountains with volunteer Kristin Loren, Casper learns their chopper has been sabotaged. Casper hadn’t intended on sticking close to Kristin, hoping the intense connection they’d formed would somehow disappear. But with their lives still on the line, he’s not about to let her out of his sight.

From Harlequin Intrigue: Seek thrills. Solve crimes. Justice served.

Discover more action-packed stories in the Big Sky Search and Rescue series. All books are stand-alone with uplifting endings but were published in the following order:

Book 1:
Helicopter Rescue
Book 2:
Swiftwater Enemies

This book will be on shelves January 23, 2024!

Upcoming Event: RWA 2023

Hi guys!

Wow, this has been a busy year. I have been typing away on the next four-book series called Big Sky Search and Rescue, with Harlequin Intrigue and I’ll be revealing the new cover for book one, Helicopter Rescue, next week!

Also, for those interested, I will be speaking in Anaheim, CA on July 20,2023 at RWA 2023.

This class will be for industry professionals who are looking at making writing a full-time career.

About the course:

Hook, Line, & Sinker: Crafting the Perfect Opener (CRAFT)

In this fun and informative hands-on course, we will break down what it takes to create a strong hook for both agents, editors and readers. We encourage participants to bring (or have access to) their current WIP so we can focus on what is working, what needs a tweak, and what will make a work standout in the market.

In other teaching news, I have also been actively mentoring with RWA’s Pen 2 Paper program for the last year. Right now, I’m working with a handful of incredibly talented authors—one of which I’m pretty sure will be offered a contract from a traditional house in the near future. I couldn’t be more excited for all of these participants, great books are being written by some fantastic people!

If you’re interested in becoming a romance author, this is a fantastic program and I hope to be working with the P2P program again next year. Reach out and do the work to make your dreams happen.

Authors, I hope to see you in California or online with P2P. Keep your buns in the seats and get those words on the page!
