So blessed to share that my YA Christian romance, Twenty Weeks to Life, is now up on Kindle unlimited. The paperback is coming out soon. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for me from the accident. There is no way I can express my joy and gratitude at this moment.

Due to a severe accident (can't get into details) and family issues with my son (Sam's addictions), last year was a season of pause. It was one of the hardest years of my life, and I'm still facing daily battles. Even though Monarch was still moving through publishing, I felt like I was at a standstill and couldn't move forward. Now we are in a new year and I've still not healed. I'm making emotional progress with therapy, but physical pain is still with me daily. I can't stop what I love. Podcasting is what I love. So, thank you for understanding if I mix my words up or if I look off screen. I promise I'm not being rude. It has stopped me from trying, but I am reclaiming my joy. Podcasting is part of that joy.
