Lost and alone…down the rabbit hole. Years have passed since Alice lost her mother to cancer, but time hasn’t quite healed the wound. Alice copes the best she can by writing her music, losing herself in her love for her boyfriend, and distancing herself from her father and his new wife. But when a deadly snowstorm traps Alice with her stepmother and newborn half sister, she’ll face issues she’s been avoiding for too long. As Alice looks to the heavens for guidance, she discovers something wonderful. Perhaps she’s not so alone after all…. Buy now from Indiebound.com, Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, or Borders.com.

I’m a native Oregonian, which means my childhood summers were spent camping, fishing, reading books, and enjoying the sun, when it finally came out.

One summer, I picked strawberries to earn money. Writing a book reminds me of that summer job. Every morning I would grab the empty crate and wonder how I could possibly fill it. I tried a bunch of different techniques to see if there was a way to fill my crate faster.

In the end, I learned if I show up, work hard, and don’t give up, the crate gets filled, just like the book gets written. You might think I would never want to see another strawberry again, but it’s actually quite the opposite. I love strawberries. And you can guess how I feel about writing.

These days, when I’m not writing, I spend my summers, and every other part of the year, sharing all the wonderful things Oregon has to offer with my husband, two sons, a dog and a cat.
