My publisher, Anaiah Press, is shutting down on Thursday, October 31st. The Home to Harmony books will be back (at some date to be determined) but now is the chance to act if you want to get the paperbacks at a HUGE deal. 50% plus free shipping over $39.

Important Announcement: Anaiah Press Closing

Believe it or not, a writer CAN run out of inspiration.

Not every story I tell started because I had an idea that I had to write, characters talking to me until I typed up their story. In fact, for the last four years, I’ve been writing after finding a spark of a story from an outside source. I clip newspaper articles (I’ve got a folder full!) and follow agent and editor wishlists.

Listen, this doesn’t mean it’s a shortcut to writing. (Please never tell an author, I have an idea and you write and we’ll split the money. This is not a thing.) But it’s a starting point that will then get my mind working. I’ll brainstorm, outline, plot, and write. Sometimes the book does not even remotely resemble the initial idea.

I have a book like that coming out.

The second book in the Shores of Loon Lake story started from a call for billionaire romances.

I’ve never written a billionaire. Ever. I’ve never had any interest (uber wealthy guy that is kind of a jerk? no thank you). But I tried to think what it would look like if I wrote someone like that. Spoiler alert: he’s still a cinnamon roll. He falls first. And he falls hard.

That’s all the teasers I’ll give you for the next book. If you enjoyed The Ghost of Loon Lake, I think you’ll really like book 2. If you’re a fan of cozy mystery and romance, you’ll love this series.

Each book is its own complete story with a mystery that will be solved. But, you’ll see familiar characters pop up in the book.

Tropes: second chance, small town, TREASURE HUNT, only one cabin, mystery
