Please share a little about yourself

I’m a book-a-holic who loves to read even more than I love to write. I love old Hollywood movies, especially musicals, and Disney fairy tales.

Character Spotlight ~ Beth Vogt’s Allison Denman & Daniel Rayner

Kissing the wrong guy days before her scheduled wedding leads Allison to become a runaway bride. But can it also lead to happily ever after?

Allison Denman is supposed to get married in five days, but everything is all wrong. The huge wedding. The frothy dress. And the groom.

Still, kissing the groom’s brother, Daniel, in an unguarded moment is decidedly not the right thing to do. How could she have made such a mistake?

Can Allison find her way out of this mess? Recognizing she doesn’t have all the answers won’t be easy because she’s used to being in control. To find her way again, she will have
