Hi there! I'm so glad you've wandered into the bits and bytes that make up my site on this vast web called the Internet—consider this your invitation to stay awhile.

I'm a storyteller who believes in the promise of second chances, the beauty of messy families, and the kind of love that is hard earned. My stories unfold in small towns where everyone knows your business (whether you want them to or not), faith is real and honest and happy endings are earned through tears, laughter, and grace.

Here, you'll discover flawed, relatable characters who fumble their way toward healing and grace and find love in unexpected places. Think sweet romance with emotional depth, community connections that feel like home, and faith that gets its hands dirty in real life.

Whether you're looking for your characters to fall in love with and root for or just want to escape to a place where love always wins, you've come to the right place.

Browse around to learn more about my books, the places I’ve created and get to know the woman behind the words.

Thanks for being here. Now grab some coffee or tea if you prefer and dive into the stories.

My Latest Book

The Rancher's Baby

This is the sixth book in the Hearts of Kittering Creek Series.

The heart remembers what the mind tries to forget.

 

Single mother Ember Kuiper never planned to raise her daughter alone, and she certainly never planned to return to Kittering Creek. But death doesn't ask for convenient timing. Faced with settling her mother's estate and a mysterious journal filled with warnings about the Kittering family, Ember must confront both her past and the one man she's never stopped loving.

 

Shane Kittering has built a good life on his family's ranch, but there's always been an Ember-shaped hole in his heart. When she returns with a baby and walls higher than ever, he's determined to break through her defenses and discover why she really left. The answers he finds in Sandy Kuiper's bitter journal threaten everything he thought he knew about his family's history.

 

As winter settles over the valley and old wounds begin to heal, Ember must choose between honoring a promise made to the dead or embracing a future with the living. Sometimes the greatest act of courage is learning to trust again, especially when your heart is involved.

 

Don't miss this emotional sixth book in the seven-part Kittering Creek series, where sweet romance meets small-town secrets under a blanket of snow.

Come to Kittering Creek

Come to Kittering Creek

If you're looking for small-town stories filled with faith, family, and just the right amount of romantic tension, you’ve come to the right place.

Kittering Creek is the fictional town where all my sweet Christian romance series take place. It’s full of ranches, second chances, and characters who don’t always get it right the first time (or the second). But they’re trying. And somewhere along the way—through old grudges, unexpected reunions, and the occasional runaway steer—they find love and something deeper.

 

Want to dive in? Click on the picture above to get to a preview of all the books where you can buy the books (paperback or e-book) or. you can also meet the characters.

 

There’s family, there’s history, and sometimes there’s a feud or two. But everyone’s connected in some way—it’s a small town, after all.

I hope you find a story that gives you a chance to escape for a while. Maybe even one that makes you laugh, sigh, or stay up too late reading “just one more chapter.”

Thanks for stopping by. 

Note: This is a work in progress as I write the books and populate the town so come back from time to time and find out what's happening!
