Last week I met Katherine Garbera‘s billionaire hero, Sebastian Warren from No Rest For The Wicked.  What an interesting experience it was!  He’s hot and delicious and completely intriguing. With over sixty books to her name, Katherine Garbera always has awesome ideas for stories and I invited her to share more about the idea behind No Rest For the Wicked. Katherine Garbera on the ‘why’ behind her bad boy story… Sebastian had everything ripped from under him when his car crashed and his best friend died. Left grappling with a lot of questions as to why he’s still alive and Judd isn’t, he runs as fast as he can to ignore them.  He’s living his life for two now, making sure that … Continue reading Katherine Garbera’s inspiration for a Wicked Bad Boy →

I can be such a book girl sometimes, nothing makes me happier than talking books and themes.  One of my favorite themes is second chances and that’s partly why I’ve really enjoyed Tule’s Homecoming series.  Have you read any of the Homecoming books yet? Eve Gaddy‘s novella, Sing Me Back Home kicked off the Homecoming series.  I read it some weeks ago but still find myself thinking about Jack and Maya.  Such a sweet, delightful story about second chances and full of strong characters, it’s a quick read and has a good dose of humor and heat too.  Eve was kind enough to sit down to a quick Q&A with me about Sing Me Back Home — What did you love best about the idea … Continue reading Eve Gaddy’s Sing Me Back Home →

I’ve had my head down a lot lately, trying to get some serious writing done and while I do try to be good and not get distracted, sometimes a girl just can’t help it.  Especially if she’s got great author friends who insist on writing fabulously yummy stories about delicious Bad Boys. If you’ve been keeping up with the Bad Boy books from Tule’s Holiday imprint, you’ll understand exactly what I mean.  It’s hard to ignore them.  They look so sinfully irresistible, standing there on the cover, whispering ‘come closer’.  And Kelly Hunter‘s bad boy, Caleb Jackson from Sympathy for the Devil fits the bill so perfectly! It got me thinking about all bad boys and why so many of us find … Continue reading Kelly Hunter on the Appeal of Bad Boys →

Readers, you need no introduction to this guest author…my bud Megan Crane.  We’ve shared editors, publishers, an agent, and noone knows me better.  Welcome back, Megan! ~~ I was born in Texas, which means the rodeo should have been in my blood. (At least that’s what I think it means.  Shhhh.) Unfortunately, I spent only days in the land of my birth before being whisked away to New York, where rodeos were things I read about in my beloved romance novels and never part of my life at all. Until Jane. Jane has been the gateway drug to a lot of marvelous things in my life.  Trips to Hawaii, Italy, Montana.  Fantastic new books to read and write.  And one … Continue reading Megan Crane: Falling in love with the Rodeo →

I’ve been having a fabulous time in Morocco and enjoying some good times with Surfer Ty.  It’s been a glorious few days here.  I should try to find a way to do it more often!  The sun is bright and shining, the Souqs are full of vivid colors and tastes and the people are just amazing! I’ve also spent some time by the pool and actually just finished reading Melissa McClone‘s Kiss Me, Cowboy.  I’m such a fan of Melissa’s.  Not only is she a wonderfully talented author but she’s also a warm, wonderful person to know and this week, she’s a guest on my blog!  Here’s Melissa McClone to share her thoughts on being a cowgirl! ~~ Thanks for … Continue reading Melissa McClone: Writer Turned Cowgirl →

Book four in the Marietta Fair series, Her Summer Cowboy by Katherine Garbera is available today and I am excited to share her story with you. I asked Katherine to be a guest on the blog today and she happily agreed. Here’s Katherine Garbera to talk to us today about country fairs, country music and her inspiration for HER SUMMER COWBOY. Welcome Katherine! Family is at the heart of my life. I grew up on a sprawling ranch in Central Florida where my parents raised three daughters alongside their Valencia orange crop. We listened to country music, especially John Denver, George Straight and Waylon Jennings. I’m not embarrassed to admit I cried the day I heard that Waylon died. When I think … Continue reading Her Summer Cowboy: Katherine Garbera →
