A Forever Home for Bruno
I am amazed and heartbroken over how many pets are just discarded.
Shortly before my husband and I were to leave for the holidays, a tenant moved out of one of our rental properties and abandoned five dogs—a black lab named Jackson, a lab/cur mix named Bruno and a dachshund mix with two puppies.

Taming the Dreaded Synopsis
Not much strikes fear in the heart of a new writer like having to write a synopsis (or suck-nopsis as an author friend of mine likes to call it.) And they’re not a whole lot of fun for the experienced writer, either. But there are some tricks to make the process a little less harrowing.

A Favorite Christmas Memory
Several years ago, my parents, my sister and brother-in-law, and my husband and I went in together on a 100-year-old log cabin on 12 acres in the North Carolina mountains. After a couple of trips up from Florida to make it almost livable (replaced leaky roof, fixed septic system so toilets would flush, etc.), we decided to all spend Christmas up there. The cabin had no heat, and we couldn’t build a fire in the fireplace, because the chimney had toppled years earlier. So we tried our best to keep warm by the wood-burning stove we had installed on one of our previous trips.

Tubby, Kitten Extraordinaire!
All of our animals have been rescues of some type. Smudge (a/k/a Tubby) was no exception. One rainy Sunday night after church, we pulled into the carport, and our daughter heard a kitten crying. My husband had done some yard work the prior day and stacked limbs beside the road. Huddled under a clump of Spanish moss, soaking wet and shivering, was a tiny white kitten. I brought him inside, blow-dried him, then fed him.

Four Things I Learned on My Crazy Road to Publication
I’m so honored to be a guest on the Ruby-Slippered Sisterhood blog. Like Terri, this is my first blog ever.
2012 has been a very exciting year for me. On January 27, I got the call from Harlequin® that they are going to publish my Golden Heart® finaling manuscript as a Love Inspired® Suspense. I was still on cloud nine from that (yep, it lasts that long!) when I got the call on March 26 that I was a Golden Heart finalist. On May 2, I signed with an agent—the awesome Nalini Akolekar of Spencerhill Associates.
