Montana Born’s new summer series is off to a great start and the Facebook party on Thursday was a huge hit with readers.  Thank you to all of you who could attend!  I love that so many of you were there to enjoy the fun and the giveaways.

Here’s Debra Salonen to … Continue reading Cowgirl Come Home: Debra Salonen →

You’re Invited to a Facebook Party!

July 14, 2014 · 85 comments

This Thursday, July 17th, we’ll be hosting another Facebook party to celebrate the Big Marietta Fair series from Montana Born Books! In the past, our Tule parties have been in the evenings but this time, because we’ll have quite a few overseas authors in attendance, the party will begin at 9:00 AM Pacific, (12:00 Noon Eastern), and we really hope you can join us for some great fun! Some of my readers have emailed to ask what exactly a Facebook party consists of so I thought I’d explain it here on my blog in case there are others who have questions too. A Facebook party is an online event; a fast and fun way to host a ‘party’ in order to socialize with friends … Continue reading You’re Invited to a Facebook Party! →

My Fair Lady: Nancy Robards Thompson

July 11, 2014 · 93 comments

Today is a big day for me, because today Montana Born releases a brand new fun summer series with the incredible author, Nancy Robards Thompson as our launch author.   Nancy is a terrific writer and an inspiring woman and I’ve asked her to join my blog today to talk about real life and an ‘issue’ close to her heart, since my readers always like the real author and not just the head shot and professional bio. So here’s Nancy Robards Thompson talking about The Power of Girlfriends! The other day, an old friend found me through Facebook. I hadn’t talked to her in probably thirty years. Obviously, we were babies when we first met. Hearing from her felt like Christmas had … Continue reading My Fair Lady: Nancy Robards Thompson →

It’s Summer…how about a Holiday Story?

July 2, 2014 · 134 comments

Summer is finally here and I, as well as everyone at Tule Publishing, is very excited about the delicious new releases from Tule’s Holiday Books imprint! Holiday Books offer fantastic stories by some of the best contemporary romance writers today…stories that are classic beach reads and romantic, flirty and fun.  These stories also take place in gorgeous vacation destinations since a great beach read needs a great sexy setting, which is why Holiday has kicked off summer with the awesome Honeymoon Series. Montana Born had a Brides series this spring, so Holiday needed a Honeymoon series, and first up was the fabulous USA Today bestselling author Carol Marinelli’s The Bride Who Wouldn’t (isn’t the cover gorgeous and sexy?!?), which released mid June … Continue reading It’s Summer…how about a Holiday Story? →

A Chat with Beth Kendrick

May 8, 2014 · 67 comments

I don’t even remember when or where I first met my friend, Beth Kendrick.  I am thinking it was a tea at RWA’s annual conference, hosted by John Charles, the former RWA Librarian of the Year.  It may have been sooner.  I know I’d read her chick lit/women’s fiction books before I’d ever met her and loved her fresh, fun, flirty stories that always end happily, leaving you happy. Over the years Beth and I have been able to meet up at conferences, and in Arizona (for tea again!  with John Charles!), and Hawaii, when she brought her mom and son out to play with us a year ago on Oahu.  We’ve spoken to librarians together and talked out plot problems … Continue reading A Chat with Beth Kendrick →

Featured Author: My Laguna Beach gal pal Kaira Rouda!

May 2, 2014 · 55 comments

I first ‘met’ Kaira Rouda when I lived in Seattle and a publicist sent me her debut novel, Here, Home, Hope to read and blurb.  Things were so hectic at the time that I couldn’t get the blurb done in time for Kaira’s PR purposes, but I ended up reading the book later on vacation and loved it. It wasn’t until I moved to Southern California that I had the chance to meet Kaira in person, and she’s literally brighter and sunnier and more wonderful than all this California sunshine.  She is genuinely kind and bubbly and positive and I am thrilled she’s going to be publishing a story with Tule Publishing’s Southern Born imprint in August, and even more … Continue reading Featured Author: My Laguna Beach gal pal Kaira Rouda! →
