I wrote a new book! Well, to be honest, it’s a novelette, but still it’s a new story, the first I’ve penned since 2023 as caregiving has taken up more and more of my time. My husband will always be my priority. This started as a short story for The Mosaic Collection’s upcoming winter anthology, Fuzzy Socks and Firelight, but …
For the past few years I’ve been sharing Alzheimer’s stories and posting various tips and tools on Facebook with the hope of helping others understand this horrible disease. After each posting, I’d receive numerous comments regarding how helpful the post was, and I began pondering if I should create a website. Well, after a few failed attempts on my part, …
While I am taking a writing hiatus, that doesn’t mean work as an author stops. I had covers redesigned for my Coming Home Series a while year ago. Along with the new covers come fresh edits, which all takes time. I was able to release Chain of Mercy with its new cover in 2024, but lots of “life” happened in …
Back in 2018, The Mosaic Collection was a seed of an idea in Stacy Monson’s brain. Within a year, Stacy released the first Mosaic Collection novel, When Mountains Sing.

All That Really Matters by Nicole Deese My rating: 5 of 5 stars Confession: How this book came to be in my at-home to-read paperback pile, I don’t recall. I’m not a girly girl who loves stories of fashion and makeup and Pinterest boards. And contemporary romance is usually too romancy for me. Yet, when it came time to choose …

Some blogs have excerpts, some have interviews, and others have reviews. With the tour comes a giveaway to delight any reader. I’m filling a box with a whole bunch …
It’s hard to believe, but my debut novel, Chain of Mercy, came out just over ten years ago! In the time since, I’ve released fourteen novels and have had short stories published in six anthologies (plus a new anthology releasing in July). That’s without having published a novel since 2021. Chain of Mercy also remains my bestseller over these ten …
Ever have one of those weeks you’ll remember for the rest of your lives? For me, that was last week when The Mosaic Collection authors gathered in person for the first time ever! Yes, I’d previously met Stacy Monson, Angela Meyer, and Lorna Seilstad, but the rest (Sara Davison, Deb Elkink, Eleanor Bertin, Johnnie Alexander, Candace West) I met face …
