Their purpose is to generate positive buzz and support the book's release by sharing it on social media, writing reviews, promoting launch related events, and engaging with potential readers. This team plays a crucial role in increasing the book's visibility, driving initial sales, and creating momentum for a successful launch, ultimately boosting the book's chances of success in the competitive literary market.Please note that early reader copies are in DIGITAL format only.

A fun time with author friends.
I recently attended the FHLCW (Faith, Hope and Love Christian Writers) conference in Phoenix AZ. It was warm and sunny and I had so much fun. I laughed, I cried and I talked more than I have in awhile. I'm an introvert, who can extrovert for short bursts of time. I learn so much from Tosca Lee, Tina Radcliffe, Angela Breidenbach and so many others.
There were 23 Love Inspired authors together with one of our lovely editors.
I met Linda Goodnight when I first started writing. She's such a lovely woman and an inspiration to me.Oct 2, 2023

Back from Stoyfest and ACFW!
Hello! I was in St. Louis for Storyfest and ACFW-American Christian Fiction Writers conference. I had a wonderful time. I did a bit of walking through the Arch park. This photo is from one end of the park. The hotel was right at the entrance to the Arch.

A sheriff’s deputy must escort a woman through dangerous terrain in the national bestselling author’s “suspenseful romance set in the Colorado Rockies” (Fresh Fiction).
Maya Gallo has been caring for her brother, a spirited teenager with Down syndrome, for years, ever since they lost their parents in a tragic accident. Now he’s gone off on his own seeking an adventure, and Maya is desperate to find him. Venturing into the Colorado Rockies, she expects rough terrain—not deadly treasure hunters. But when she’s caught in their crosshairs, ruggedly handsome mounted patrolman Alex Trevino comes to her aid.
The deputy sheriff knows what these bandits are capable of. So getting Maya—and her brother—off the mountain alive and home safely may be his hardest mission yet . . .
