I’m excited to share some wonderful news with you—my newest book, Christmas Mail-Order Brides, releases on September 9th! This collection of three inspirational historical novellas brings together inspiration, adventure, and romance, all wrapped in the charm of a frontier Christmas.

Marriage arrives by mail-order—and just in time for the holidays.
