BOOKSTORE â—½ TIPS
The idea for Game Set Love came to me in pieces, the first of which was prayer. I wanted to write a story about a girl who prayed for people and how those prayers impacted their lives, perhaps without her even knowing it. So that was where the story started. In fact, my working title when I started writing it was “The Girl Who Prayed.”
Then, as I was writing the story, I began weaving a fun romantic plotline. (Of course, because all my books are love stories.) You know those movies on Hallmark channel where two characters pretend they’re dating for some complicated reason, and then they end up falling in love for real? Well, I had never planned on writing a story like that. Never even thought about it, to be honest. But somehow, Game Set Love became exactly that. I totally wasn’t expecting it, but it ended up being so much fun to write, and I still really love this story.
It's full of redemptive themes, including a lost prayer journal that helps a woman reconnect with her faith. It also speaks on how sometimes God uses the trials in our lives to bring us closer to Him, often blessing us with something totally unexpected. Also, our prayers are important and impactful, even if we don’t always see it.

Game Set Love is also a sports romance, where one of the main characters is a professional athlete, so the story brings a little bit of his sport into the mix. I’m sure you can probably guess which sport that is – wink, wink!
​
And, of course, there’s fun banter between the characters and an idyllic mountain setting. I love creating an atmosphere that feels like home. Somewhere cozy and inviting, where I’d love to spend my time if I could. A place the readers can imagine themselves visiting along with the characters.
Fun fact: All my other books take place in Texas, but Game Set Love takes place in Colorado, which is where I grew up.
My hope for this book has always been simple – to make people smile and realize how loved they are. There is a God who created each one of us and wants to have a relationship with us. His plans are good, even when they hurt, even when we don’t understand. Most of all, every good love story points to the greatest love story of all. And if you don’t know that story, I hope that reading this book can help you discover what it’s all about.
