The Power of United Women

If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you’ll know there’s plenty of oestrogen in my home with six ladies under one roof. And I love every moment.

It’s A Girl!

My second novel released yesterday—yes, Wounded Soul is here!—and I lay in bed last night contemplating my writing journey so far (instead of sleeping, because that’s what intelligent people needing sleep do.
