Things I Do When I’m Not Writing
This weeks episode is so boring. Seriously, it's all about television.

Hope From the Ocean – A Peek Into the Lives of the Flynns
I wanted to share an excerpt from Chapter 3 of "Hope From the Ocean." This is but a sneak peek into the lives of the family Flynn and what makes them so special to me and to so many readers already. Enjoy: By Christmas night, they were all stuffed fatter than the goose and huddled together for …
