I’m a native Arkansan and author of historical romance novels, contemporary romantic short stories and poetry.

​

April 2025 Publications

The Appalachian Bride McKenzie Sisters Series, Book 1 - Rosie 

To God Be the Glory Series:

Book 2 - The Glory of God.

​

I have published two historical romance series, Quinlin Proxy Brides (3 books) and the Cowboy Wedding Series (1 of 3 currently published).

​

Finding Love Series (2 of 3) Each of the short story books includes fifteen romantic contemporary stories.

 

The poetry book, 100 Years Old & Still Cooking Beans includes a personal biography, dedicated poem, and photos of some of my dearest family and friends.

 

I attended Kansas Wesleyan Univ. in Salina, KS. Graduated with a B.S.E. from Arkansas State Univ. in Jonesboro, AR, and worked on my master’s at Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia, AR.

 

Some of my favorite authors are Pamela Morsi, Kathy Herman, Stephen Bly, Linda Lael Miller, Jan Karon, and Jodi Thomas.

 

I wrote the first book of the Quinlin Proxy Brides in 2003, but the fear of failure kept me from publishing. My advice to new writers is to stop procrastinating and just go for it!
