I am so excited to announce that the second book in the Grace Series will be released soon and is ready to be added to your To-Be-Read list. I am thankful for everyone who purchased the first book in the series, On the Edge of Grace. Though it is my seventh book, On the Edge of Grace is my debut novel, so I am delighted to give you more from that story with On the Wrong Side of Grace.

Before I wrote On the Edge of Grace, I wrote a spiritual and mental wellness journal, children's books and a memoir but my first novel had been brewing long before those books. It took me a while, many years, to finally jump in and write without pausing.

The Grace series was inspired by my thoughts on how important it is to extend grace to others but also know when enough is enough. I think I can speak for most everyone when I say there comes a time when extending grace to ourselves is one of the hardest things to do. We've probably all found ourselves in a place where we've extended so much grace to everyone else while neglecting our own needs and wants, forgetting that giving ourselves self-compassion and grace is just as important as lending it to others.

These books are about not only giving grace but also openly receiving it and knowing how and when it may be necessary to let go of situations that exceed your limitations.

One of the gems I love that Blou's Aunt dropped in her reservoir in On the Edge of Grace was, “Sweetheart, seems like you are tethering on the edge of grace. You have plenty of soul searching to do as you decide how much of it to give and how you’re going to give it...And not just other's but yourself too."

I can truly and honestly say I've been right there with Blou plenty of times, and I'm sure you have too. On the Edge of Grace is a fictional book, but it carries so many truths. My hope is that when you, your mother, sister, friend, co-worker, or whomever you bought this book for, will take something from it that they can lean on when giving or receiving grace becomes a struggle.

Every purchase, every share, every mention, and support of any kind has been appreciated more than you know. As we continue the Grace series with On the Wrong Side of Grace, I hope that you will enjoy it just as much as you have On the Edge of Grace.

FOLLOW THE JOURNEY

How does the story continue?

After his many dalliances Brave finally fell in love but misunderstandings, half‑truths, and unexpected encounters keep feeding Brave’s doubts, leaving him torn between the woman he loves and the trust he’s losing. At the same time, his business is hit with a string of suspicious setbacks, and he can’t tell if it’s bad luck…or sabotage.

Fallon is fighting her own battle—trying to hold on to Brave while navigating the complicated return of someone who once meant everything to her. With love strained on all sides, both Brave and Fallon must confront the wounds they’ve carried into the relationship. If they can’t untangle truth from fear—and loyalty from insecurity—they risk losing not only each other, but the future they’ve been building.
