My Books
Contemporary &
Historical Fiction
I write both contemporary and historical fiction. In my books you’ll find family, friendships, faith, and home. There’ll be romance, second chances, hope and inspiration. I write about the magic and wonder of everyday life. Find yourself in the pages of my novels. Find home.
Historical Fiction
Even if nothing else is certain, love is.
Welcome to Certain, Kentucky were things are often not very certain at all. In the midst of America’s Great Depression, this southern town finds hope and home in books and each other and the always certain power of love.
Join Mattie, Ruby, and Ava as they deliver books along the Hell for Certain Creek in the wilds of Kentucky, forging friendships, finding love, uncovering truths and standing up for what’s right even when it’s not what’s easy.
Book 1: Available now: The Other Side of Certain
Book 2: Available March 27th: Even if Nothing Else is Certain.
Contemporary Fiction
Life can be tart, but thankfully, it’s also pretty sweet.
The Lemonade Year and The Year of Thorns and Honey are part of a heartfelt and fun duology.
They can be read in either order, but if I have to suggest, I’d say start with The Lemonade Year first. There’s a fun twist that you’ll enjoy more if you read that one first–wink wink (inside scoop from the author!)

You might also enjoy my short story collection. Thirteen literary fiction pieces about the magic and wonder of everyday life gone astray.
My first novel, The Lemonade Year, actually started as a story in this book. There are other stories here that I have turned into novels as well. One day perhaps they will be on the shelves too.
