Beyond Romance


A Busy Month, Pre-Orders, and a New Heroine in the Pack
July 27, 2026

Hello all my peeps and pups.

It has been one heck of a month. Packed with the good and the bad and more than enough stress on both fronts. My only regrets are broken fences and not enough time to focus on writing. (crosses fingers) I hope August offers at least a few chances to slow down and take a breath.

Guardian is still progressing, For those waiting for the "finally done" post, please hang in there awhile longer.

The farm is going strong. last round of peafowl eggs is hatching now and the turkeys are thinking about laying again. Momo got a pedicure and was pretty good for the farrier. He was a little bit of a stinker for the last hoof, but Abby was amazing with him even when he was being bratty. I'm still catching the koi babies form the big pond ever day. They are so pretty. Thee next sale will have to be soon. 

And the garden... oh my, the garden. It has gone crazy. It's growing so fast that I can't even keep up with picking from it. I had to call in family and friends to pillage and keep from too much being wasted. This has bumped the farmstand up in priority. With some luck it will be up and running (self-service style) this week.

With so many live events on the schedule, I have been worrying about not having enough books on hand. If there is a specific book you're looking to get signed at an event, use the 

PRE-ORDER FORM
https://forms.gle/hawevzsogR5vnspF8

to make sure you don't miss out. This also means I'll have some extra goodies prepacked just for you.

Back to the hustle. Next on the to-do list... Convince all my pups that Eden was here all along. I'm sure it won't take long for her to fit into the pack.


Read more and enjoy every moment!

FOREVER EDEN

A sentient ship, a hidden truth, and a love written in the stars.

The peaceful life that Adam always took for granted, might be built on lies. When a strange space faring freedom fighter falls from the sky, she exposes the truth. Can he choose between everything he holds dear and the chance to claim his one true mate? Or will the galactic wars catch up to them both?

This Week's Villain: A 150-Pound Emu Named Lulu

Beyond Romance


This Week's Villain: A 150-Pound Emu Named Lulu
July 20, 2026

Hello all my peeps and pups. 

This week I'm not going to chatter on as much as usual. Not that life slowed down and got boring. Of course not. Instead one of the emu (a lovely girl named Lulu) decided to go on walkabout. She busted through her fence and took off into the wild of rural Pennsylvania. I'm a nature lover and the thought of following trails all day long looking for a missing 6 foot tall dino-bird.... Well at first it did hold some appeal. So let me give you the rundown on my positive spin on a horrible stressful week.

1. Got my steps in - an insane number of them in fact. Woods, fields, hills and dales... My favorites were the gas well roads. Makes for some pretty scenery.
2. When my legs gave out, I had my van to "circle the block" which includes taking the first left on four roads and returning back home again. 
3. Gave me a chance to reconnect with my neighbors. All five families on about 5 miles of back roads. I even got to meet two more than I already knew. Yes, you did that math correctly. We've been here on the farm for six years and only got to know 3 of the 5 families until now. It's a very live and let live kind of area.
4. And of course, now that she is safely back in her fence, all's well that ends well. 

I had a whole bunch of other stuff that I planned to share today but I've already chattered on for far longer than I promised. Since I was busy hunting for Lulu, no significant progress was made on anything else. With some luck, this week will be calm enough for me to get back on track.


Read more and always find your way home.

FARM UPDATE
Many asked how a 6 foot bird can go 5 days with no sightings. This here is why. Between the stretches of farmland, there is a lot of woods.
