God's plan might not look like my expectation of fame and fortune. It might not meet the world's measure of success. But it is his plan, which is far more important — more right — than my wants!
A new year is the perfect time to start back at the beginning! To celebrate 2026, Goodreads is giving away 10 print copies of my début novel ~ Grocery Girl 💝
Coach and I tried something new in Blacksburg: a townhome! And we loved it!! It's bittersweet to put it on the market so soon, but I want/need to take advantage of a new crop of coaching families moving into the community. So...343 Eheart Street SE if officially for sale. Here's a video of the townhouse as well as the MLS link 🧡
Goodreads selected In the Trenches for a football season giveaway 🙌
But, for some reason, people are having a tough time finding the link to enter.
I'd LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to have a wave of entries wake up "the machine" and reset the algorithm. Will you share the giveaway with your friends who enjoy sweet and cozy, small-town sports romance?

Also known as Mrs. Montgomery.
Or Coach Monty's wife.
