Meet Rula

Welcome!

I've always been a naturalist and writer at heart. Leaving the bustling burbs and an established career for life near the base of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains was one the best decisions of my life. Exploring the outdoors and connecting with nature was in important part of my childhood and something I didn't want my three kids to miss out on when they were growing up. Sure, they still had their high tech games, but I life felt more balanced out here. It still does. I truly believe staying connected to nature is both healing and inspiring. In fact nature is has always been one of the deepest sources of inspiration in my writing.

I'm both traditional and indie published. Here are a few of my book highlights, but you'll find more on my book page...

I'm thrilled that A Heartwarming Christmas, a holiday anthology that includes my novella, The Gingerbird House, hit the USA Today Bestseller List, Indie Bestseller List and the Amazon Bestseller List! Also, The Promise of Rain (my 2014 debut and first book in the 'From Kenya, with Love' series) is a 2014 National Reader's Choice Award winner for Best First Book (it was a double finalist), 2015 HOLT Medallion Award of Merit winner, a 2015 Golden Quill Award Runner Up and a 2015 Book Buyers Best Third Place recipient! The second book in the series, After the Silence, is both a 2016 Published Maggie Award of Excellence and Aspen Gold finalist and book 5 in the series, The Twin Test, is a 2018 National Reader's Choice Award finalist for Contemporary Series. The other books in the 6 book series, Through the Storm, Every Serengeti Sunrise and The Marine's Return, have all garnished rave reviews. My short story, The Sweetheart Tree, which is part of the A Heartwarming Thanksgiving anthology by Harlequin Heartwarming, is also tied to the series. I hope you enjoy them all!

My second series for Harlequin Heartwarming, 'Turtleback Beach', debuted June 2019 with Almost a Bride. It was followed by book 2, Caught by the Sheriff, March 2020 and Second Chance Christmas, January 2021.
