Last weekend was a whirlwind of events and travel! I flew out of Orange County early last Saturday morning, connected in Seattle and arrived in Bozeman, MT around 3:30 pm, with the best greeting committee in the world: Kari Andersen, Meg Munson, and Cheryl Hill.

Kickstarting a Book
It’s February 26th today. I’d like to have a book done by May 1st. That’s approximately two months from now, and the next eight weeks includes lots of travel, and speaking, and the kids’ Spring break. I can do it. But I have to be focused, and motivated. I’m not focused yet. Not really motivated, […]
Jane Loves Ranchers, Cowboys & Cowgirl U!
The Fallen Greek Bride, my new March Harlequin Presents, is shipping today from Amazon, and should soon be on store shelves, too. I love this story–it’s passionate, intense, as well as full of longing, and hope. I was worried about having so many books out in one month, and yet as one reader told me […]

Books, Fans & Friends
Crazy writing going on right now. I am bouncing back and forth between chapters 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 as I often write out of order, and then weave scenes together. Sometimes its useful and sometimes I just confuse the heck out of myself. Monday I was horribly confused. Yesterday, after writing until 8:30 […]
