It’s done.

When I planned on writing this book, I had all sorts of ideas. Any of you who’ve been reading my newsletters for any length of time know that having ideas does NOT mean that’s what ends up on the page.

After all this time you’d think I’d have figured that out, but no….

I successfully wrote a finale book for the Six Pack ranch series. Only that one had a missing family member who could come back and help anchor the multiple plot lines with one, solid romance.

In Heart Falls, though, I’d been a touch too thorough in giving everyone their HEA. But when I settled in and decided to let the book write itself (as I should simply do in the first place!) I discovered while I didn’t have one romance to build around, there was still a hall to rebuild, a ton of good friends to visit with, even a few legacy questions to ponder…

And a sweet young love story to explore. Yes, there is budding romance!

Now that the book is done, I’m happy. Which is a small word for the sensation inside. I’m proud to have brought this group of people to life for all of us to enjoy. I’m humbled that you’ve been journeying with me for so long.

I feel grateful to be a storyteller. To know that, in part, my legacy is written. Literally.

Puns aside, I hope you’re excited to read the finale in the Heart Falls world. It’s currently listed as book 4 in the Skyes of Heart Falls, but it’s truly the last piece for every series. The Stones, the holiday books, the Colemans, the Fields.

We’ll figure out that marketing nightmare later. For now, get ready.

Heart Falls doors will open one more time this September.

Preorders are up now.

One other thing!

Some of you will notice that the cover below is different than the one you've seen before. Another part of finally letting the characters write the book means admitting the previous cover just didn't fit. This is more what's inside the book. 

Instead of uber-dramatic situations and settings, it's full of quiet moments, wide open skies, and the sun rising on happiness.

That's Heart Falls.

A Heart Falls Cowboy Christmas

Some legacies are built one story at a time.

Over the course of one unforgettable year, while the community hall is rebuilt, the families of Heart Falls celebrate new babies, new marriages, new love, and countless everyday moments that become forever memories. Between Girls' Night Out adventures, increasingly ridiculous firefighter fundraisers, and old traditions making room for new dreams, the future quietly begins to take shape.

Caleb Stone discovers that the greatest act of leadership is knowing when to step aside, trusting the younger generation to write the next chapter. Together, they'll shape not only the future of Silver Stone, but the legacy that will carry it forward for generations to come.

Filled with romance, family, laughter, and the community readers have loved from the very beginning, A Heart Falls Cowboy Christmas celebrates legacy, belonging, and coming home one final time.

A heartfelt finale for the readers who've called Heart Falls home.

Enjoy an unedited peek into the chaos that is coming soon. The building committee is meeting in early January, and they’ve got tons of serious planning to do…

Brad Ford was wearing a pink T-shirt with a dancing unicorn on the front. The shirt was a little tight on his massive frame, but damn, it was a great find.

“Nice shirt,” Aiden told Brad.

Brad grinned back. “Nice jacket.”

Aiden held out his arms. The tweed jacket with lime green accents he’d found had probably been the height of fashion at some point in history.

Not recent history, but still.

Long-suffering sighs, highly exaggerated and in perfect synchronization, echoed across the table as Maddy and Lisa exchanged amused looks.

“Which seems as good a place to start as any.” Maddy handed a set of papers to each of them. “One item on the agenda regards fund-raisers for the extra community center costs. Three different proposals have come in, all viable, so we should spread them out over the coming year for maximum effect.”

“It’s been great to see the entire community coming up with different ideas to help support the new center.” Brad’s grin only got wider. “The firehall contribution seems to be off to a good start.”

Lisa leaned forward on her elbows. “About that. You want to explain why my husband, who is not a firefighter but a vet, had the sudden urge to go shopping for ugly as sin—”

“Lisa,” Maddy protested.

“—gently used yet not always fashionable—” Lisa checked with Maddy for approval before continuing “—clothing?”

Brad spread his hands in a helpless gesture. “One slow night at the hall, we got to talking about what we could do to help fundraise, and the next thing I knew, Alex had it all arranged. Twenty bucks enters you into the contest, and the person with the most votes at the end of the month wins fifty bucks. Reset and start again.”

“Nice. Good return on your investment.” Maddy nodded her approval.

“It’s a win-win situation, since everyone is supposed to shop at the thrift store if possible.” Brad eyed Aiden. “It’s only a buck a vote for the people of the community when they spot someone wearing a great outfit. And Alex set the voting to be online or as a drop box at Buns and Roses, so everyone can join in.”

“After that fifty buck payout, all the money goes to the hall fund?” Lisa asked.

“Yup.” Brad shrugged. “It was only supposed to be the firehall crew, but somehow word got out, and there didn’t seem to be any good reason to say no to people who want to hand over money to dress in thrift store finds.”

Maddy shook her head, but she was smiling. “Considering a gaudy sweater is at the core of the relationship with my husband, who am I to call foul? I propose the Tacky Threads Throwdown funds get earmarked for the new playground outside the hall.”

“We can paint the climbing structures with extremely loud colours,” Lisa suggested.

“Deal,” Aiden agreed. “Love the name, too.”
