Why I Wrote Beaucoup Fracas!
I was so thrilled to release Beaucoup Fracas, the 6th installment in my Big Uneasy series, last month! Releasing the book in 2021 meant I met my publishing goals, but beyond that, I really want to write the story for all 13 siblings, so I need to bust a move! That means I still have…

Beaucoup Fracas Has Arrived!
I’m so excited! I wasn’t sure I’d make it before the end of the year but it’s here! (It’s not live at the vendors yet, but it should be soon!) Here’s the blurb: She doesn’t want to be there. He doesn’t either. Private investigator, Gideon Baker, is on the trail of a missing husband. A…

Big UnEasy Listening
Last week, I shared some of my audiobook journey, both as a listener and as an author. And I mentioned my wonderful narrator, Becky Boyd. In addition to working on the Out of Time books with me, she also took on the challenge of finishing my Big Uneasy series! The first book, Relatively Risky, was…

A Virtual Stroll to New Orleans
Since we’re still in the dog days of summer, I thought I’d take a stroll through the Big Uneasy (at least fictionally). I’m working on BEAUCOUP FRACAS, the sixth book right now. It’s always so fun to travel back to New Orleans—but I won’t lie. I’d rather “visit” New Orleans fictionally in August. It is…

Love Isn’t Easy in the #BigUneasy
Ever since I introduced Sarah, Nell’s landlady/friend, in RELATIVELY RISKY, I’ve been mulling which of the Baker brothers would snag her heart. I think I was as surprised as Sarah and Cal when events brought them together and love bloomed—though it wasn’t easy because love and life aren’t easy in the Big Easy! Here’s a…

When WORRY Works For You #BigUneasy
Every time I dive back into the world of my Big Uneasy series, I am surprised by where the story takes me. And WORRY BEADS was no exception. I didn’t see any of it coming either! Lol But that is what is also lovely about New Orleans, you never know what will happen there. I…

#DeadSpaces Inspired, um, Dead Spaces (haha)
I know it is a bit weird to be inspired by a cemetery, but New Orleans cemeteries are pretty amazing to someone who was raised in Wyoming where all the graves are below ground. In New Orleans, they call the cemeteries “dead spaces.” I’ve written before about what an experience it was to go from…

Remembering New Orleans #lettershome
So, a long time ago, I wrote a column for my hometown paper called “Letters Home.” I don’t remember how many of them ended being published (or why they stopped being published), but it was fun to share my getting to know New Orleans—and me getting used to New Orleans—in the columns. The writing…

The Big Easy in the Roaring 20’s
I thought it might be fun to lighten things up here on the blog this week. Taking a virtual trip to New Orleans is always happy for me (a real one not being possible right now). But this time I’d also like to time travel a bit, because you know I also like that. What…
