Pleasant Fiction in an Age of Noise 

With so many great authors already out there, what do my books offer? Simply put, they are peaceful. While a lot of writers are genuinely telling a wonderful story I can't tell, I also see a lot of noisy and angry books on the market. Stories that examine mature and gritty situations are great if the author has the ability to write that type of story. I've read and enjoyed and even reviewed some of them. Gritty books aren't necessarily bad, but too many books (and authors) are just in-your-face, striving for attention, and have an unpleasant tone. Even well-intentioned books that preach good values aren't always pleasant. If the author is correcting or lecturing me and other people, it doesn't make for a peaceful reading experience.  

So when I set about defining my own books, I wanted them to be positive places where a gentleness emanated from the pages. A hopeful safety lies in gentleness and there's also an honesty to it. A whirlwind of pushy book blurbs and hot characters (or whatever type character the author wants you to admire) can conceal a reality underneath. A quiet--possibly even lurking--reality that's more visible if you dial down the volume. That lurking reality isn't necessarily bad, but like anything quiet, it gets drowned out by conflict and angst. Peaceful fiction can help explore the truth that noisy books ignore.


Author Bio

And that just about covers my books. What about myself? Well, I am a country girl living on a fourth-generation family farm in Texas. My home is on a rural road surrounded by cultivated fields that rapidly give way to wild flowers, wild plants, and wild life and I can always be found scribbling away at a new project. I get most of my ideas while drifting innocuously around my house. And sometimes I exercise my beloved, blind Pomeranian, although Pom prefers to vegetate indoors.

​All of my books are available widely at most online stores and at libraries. So whether you use Amazon, B&N, Kobo, or smaller stores like Indigo and library distributors like Overdrive, my ebooks are just a click of a button away. Each book has a button on its page that links to all stores for easy browsing. Paperback books are available through Amazon.

My books have had extensive work done since their original publication dates. These publication dates range from 2-11 years ago. Alterations to the books include professional edits, whole or partial rewrites, reorganization (this especially applies to the novella collections) and change of series labels. Because of this, reviews on retail sites dated prior to June 2019 may not be accurate. In fact, they may be drastically inaccurate. To be safe, consider reviews posted after June 2019 as more reliable when browsing on retail sites.
