It All Started With a Dog at Our Campsite

I was supposed to be writing something else.

We were on a family camping trip, and I’d brought along my notebook with a half-planned story I thought I’d work on around the campfire. But then a dog wandered into our site—friendly, off-leash, completely unbothered by the strangers in his path.

He didn’t belong to anyone nearby, and before long someone from town came to pick him up. They knew exactly who he was. Apparently, he had a habit of wandering.

Later that day, I climbed into the hammock with my notebook and started writing something completely new. That was the beginning of Mountain Getaway.

In the story, Molly is visiting a small-town campground, just looking for some quiet. But when a pup keeps showing up at her site—followed by a local man named Rick—her peaceful getaway turns into something else entirely.

It’s a sweet, clean romance full of small-town charm and a dog who steals a few scenes (and maybe a few hearts, too).

I never finished that original story I brought on the trip. But I’m so glad I followed where inspiration led instead.

New Book Coming Soon: Where the Sky Meets Us

Hi everyone,

I’m so excited to announce that I have a new book coming soon: Where the Sky Meets Us.

This is a sweet, small-town romance with a hint of adventure, perfect for readers who love quiet moments, emotional connection, and the kind of story that reminds you love can show up in unexpected places.

Melissa has spent two years planning the perfect backpacking trip. She’s ready for solitude, trail mix, and a chance to reset. What she didn’t plan for was meeting someone along the way, someone who might change everything.

If you enjoy wholesome romance, beautiful outdoor settings, and characters finding their way to love (and themselves), I think you’ll enjoy this one.

Stay tuned for the release date. I can’t wait to share more with you!
