I like to think of my seasonal newsletter as something more like a letter, from me to you, and less like a newsletter. If you’d like to receive it directly in your inbox, please sign up below. As a new subscriber, you’ll get access to my All Time Favorites book list and a deleted scene from I Shall Be Near To You, and a few other goodies available through my “Subscribers Only” secret page.

In my newsletter, I share how I’m finding inspiration and overcoming challenges, where I’m discovering happiness and joy, how I’m coping with sadness and setbacks– whether it’s in an article I recently read, an experience I’ve had, a provoking question a reader has asked, or something I found growing in my garden– in the hopes that what I share will resonate with you, too. You’ll also be the first to find out about bookish things like progress on my next novel, events, giveaways, Twitterchats, and what’s on my bookshelf, in addition to glimpses of the critters (human and non) I share my days with (BABY GOATS and CHICKS– need I say more?).

To tide you over until your first newsletter arrives you can view past issues in their full glory here and get all caught up. Or, if you don’t need all the pictures (but seriously, the pictures are pretty cute), you can always peek at past newsletters on my blog (some of them show up in the sidebar to the left).
