When I autograph a copy of my book, Love Comes Home, I usually put “Hope you always come home to love.” What better place to celebrate love than in your home? That is sort of what happens in this Rosey Corner story. Jay has been gone overseas for years fighting in World War II. Finally the war is over and the …
May we not spend Christmas or observe Christmas but rather keep it. ~ Peter Marshall Christmas Day has come and gone. Seems each year it comes quicker and is overtaken by a New Year just as fast. Since we had our family Christmas gathering early this year, Christmas seemed to come and go faster than ever. But that’s just the traditions and busyness of Christmas. Christmas can dwell …
In a post on my Facebook Author Page last week, I asked what pie people liked to see on their holiday table. That grabbed people’s interest and I had many comments. I was a little surprised that lemon may have been the most popular answer. I’m not sure why I was surprised since I love lemon pie. Other favorites …
It’s been fun posting romantic scenes from some of my already published books. So, I hope you’ll bear with me for one more scene that doesn’t have any romance at all, but does introduce you to some of my characters in my upcoming May release, In the Shadow of the River. The story starts when Jacci is five years …

I saw something this week about romance tropes in stories. There’s the bad boy character who always seems to draw girls …
Do the characters in the stories you read come to life in your head? And in your heart? Is there some special something about the book or the characters that makes that happen for you? A few years ago I got a very nice note from a reader who had gone to Rosey Corner. She hadn’t read the first book, …
Did you know that before radios and television people did a lot more porch sitting and storytelling? On top of that, people actually read aloud to one another as an entertainment. I can imagine sisters or friends sitting together to do needlework or some other task while one had the pleasure of reading aloud to them to make the task …
May we not spend Christmas or observe Christmas but rather keep it. ~ Peter Marshall Sometimes people seem to want to stop having Christmas as soon as midnight strikes on Christmas Day, but I think Christmas should last all the way to New Year’s and on as we continue to find joy in focusing our thoughts on a long ago starry …
Working on the narration of my third Rosey Corner novel, Love Comes Home, has me thinking about Rosey Corner again. I did so enjoy getting to know those Merritt sisters plus one and sharing their lives through ten or so years with you readers. I dedicated those stories to my mother and her three sisters. Their stories about growing up in a …
