Hey there, sweet friend, Thursday night at the Knitting Nook was supposed to be simple… Coffee brewing. Yarn on the tables. Lemon raspberry thumbprint cookies waiting by the pot. Then the bell over the door chimed. And Thelma walked in holding Mr. Snoozy’s leash. Empty. The room went still. Her eyes were red, her voice was shaking, and when she finally spoke, it came out barely above a whisper: “Mr. Snoozy is missing. Can you please help me?” And just like that, Ethel Sue is back on the case. 🫶 You know, one of the things I love most about these women is this: when someone is hurting, they don’t look away. They show up. They make room. They offer grace before answers. And sometimes that’s the first real step toward solving any mystery. If that sounds like the kind of story your heart has been craving—small-town charm, faithful friendship, a gentle mystery, and women living for Jesus in the middle of everyday life—then I’d love for you to step into Willow Creek. ❤️ 👉 Read chapter 1 of Digging Up Trouble here And sweet friend, if you’ve been waiting for book 3… Ruckus at the Rodeo comes out in 2 weeks, and the ebook is just 99¢ this week only. 👉 Pre-order Ruckus at the Rodeo here grace + hugs, P.S. Fun fact - I love the Knitting Nook scenes, but I do not like to knit or crochet 😅 ...do you? |

A hug from one mom to another. 🫶 Motherhood was hard for me sometimes. Honestly… a lot of the time. Especially as an introvert who has always loved a quiet, calm house. 🙃 I loved my children deeply. But the constant noise, needs, interruptions, emotions, and everyday chaos (adding homeschooling on...
Hey there, sweet friend, You won’t believe what Ethel Sue volunteered to help with at the rodeo on Saturday… The craft booth. Which means you can guarantee there was plenty of glitter, stickers, glue sticks, and at least one child who left looking like a walking scrapbook page. 😄 But that isn’t even the surprising part. You know who offered to help her? Jo. Yes, sweet, quiet Jo from across the street. Now, to be fair, Ethel Sue may have caught her outside watering her bushes… and may have...
For those that want to skip straight to getting the book - 👉 You can grab Ruckus at the Rodeo here 😁👍 Hey there, sweet friend, Rodeo week in Willow Creek is usually one of my favorite times of the year… Dust in the air, boots by the door, and more sweet tea than anyone should reasonably drink. The Bridge Ladies signed up to help with check-in at this year's Sterling Ridge Ranch Rodeo. And for a while… it was all going great. Until it wasn't. The radio crackled. A voice came through, rushed...
