Answers to some common questions
Q: Are Chris & Alaina based on you and your husband? No, I’m very happily married and not nearly as spiteful as Alaina – most days! However, being together for 16 years, we’ve had several ups and downs that I can use as inspiration for some of the things that go on between them. There […]
Audiobook, Book 2, and some other exciting news!
