Come Hail or High Water
It was July 2016. We still lived in Colorado Springs, when we not only got one devastating hailstorm, but were on the receiving end of a second round mere five weeks apart.
That night around 10 pm we saw a massive thunderhead spit out strobe-like lightning just east of us. We checked the radar and noticed that a thunderstorm was growing rapidly over Peterson Air Force Base which remained mostly stationary—for the time being.
But, soon we realized that the storm slowly shifted west toward us. To our surprise, we saw that the lighting became more intense and the thunder grew louder. Still, we didn’t think anything of it and were about to go to bed. Little did we know what was about to befall us.
Hurricane Season is Here – What’s in Store?

Tornado Season in the South – My Fascination with Storms
It’s March and the start of Tornado Season down here in Alabama. I’ve always been fascinated by the magnificent power of nature. Yes, I was the kid that stood on the sidewalk on a hot summer day as thunderstorms were rolling in, spreading out my arms, and waiting for the strong storm gust to almost blow me over. Fast forward to 2020 when the Southern Storms series was born. I knew I wanted to write sweet small-town romances, because that’s what I also love to read in fiction. Then I thought, wouldn’t it be fun to tie in some unruly weather to make life a little more difficult for my characters? So I did. 😁

Writing Research – AKA Beach Time
I’m in the middle of revising Hurricane Season, and a majority of the story takes place at the beach, so we decided to head down to the Gulf of Mexico for the weekend…

If your soul is yearning for rest, a trip to the beach can be a remedy close to miracle.
