Girls Write Out

Our Big Announcement

I've got happy news! Girls Write Out authors Kristin, Colleen, Diann, and I are contracting to write a contemporary romantic novella collection for our publisher, Thomas Nelson!

The collection, entitled Smitten, features the fictional town of Smitten, Vermont. When the local economy threatens the town's survival, four friends propose the idea of making Smitten into the Romance Capitol of America. During the course of their first transitional year, each woman finds a love of her own.

As you might imagine, we're thrilled to be writing a collection together, and you can expect some aspects of our personalities to come shining through our heroines.

(A side note so you can understand the significance of this moment: Kristin, Colleen, and I did a collection together years ago, Blind Dates. On occasion, Diann has been known to moan and groan that she never got to write one with us. So now, Diann, you have no reason to whine. ;-)

Here we are, signing the contract with our (Colleen's, Diann's, and my) agent Karen Solem at the ACFW conference a week ago. A momentous occasion!
