I have officially started writing my new Harlequin Presents as I anticipate the late May 22nd release of my next Harlequin Presents, Not Fit for a King?, which has gotten a stellar 4 1/2 star Top Pick review from RT. I try so hard not to get attached to reviews, good or bad, because I give […]

Must Share Great Book!
My deadline is beginning to make me sweat a little so I’m starting to unplug and retreat from the world, but before I do, I had to share a new book out that is getting rave reviews and terrific press. Let me also preface the introduction of this book by saying, yes, I know this […]
Playing the Harlequin Presents Heroine
Last August I had the pleasure to attend Romance Writers of Australia’s annual conference in Melbourne. I love attending the Australia conferences. I love my Australia author friends. Such good people. Such good fun. And last August I begged Megan Crane (aka Caitlin Crews) to go with me and she did, which made the four […]
Book Club Call Ins
A couple weeks ago I got an email from a woman in Hawaii named Karen asking if I would be on Oahu in early February to join their bookclub for a discussion of She’s Gone Country. I wasn’t going to be on Oahu then but offered to send the bookclub reader goodies, which included a […]
Reading is Heaven
It’s Friday and a gorgeous day up here in Seattle…sunny and bright and clear. The sun makes me feel light and happy. And reading makes me happy and I’m hoping to wrap up work early today so I can squeeze in an hour of reading Georgette Heyer’s The Unknown Ajax before resuming mom duties. Leaving […]
Snow Play
What a week! We’ve had days and days of snow and the kids have absolutely loved being out of school. I haven’t been playing though as my deadline is less than a month away and I’m deep into this new book. I really love this one, its complicated and intense, but also really fun as […]
Impostor Syndrome?
Right now I don’t feel like a real writer. Maybe its because I haven’t been writing for a number of weeks and I have a big deadline bearing down on me. It will be good to get back to my desk in January. I’ll probably have a lot fewer pep talks with myself when […]
Anyone Feeling Clever?
Happy December! I’ve been working with my editor on the backcover copy for my new women’s fiction book out in September from Berkley. So far the title is my own working title, The Good Woman, and I’m hoping they keep it. I thought I’d share the back cover blurb with you, but remember that it […]
Random Happiness
I haven’t been blogging a lot lately. I’m sure you’ve noticed. But things here at home have consumed me. Being a mom has meant I’ve had to focus my energy on the kids and the writing has been pushed to the side for the time being. It’s okay. That’s how it goes. I don’t know […]
Not Fit for a King out soon in UK
I am enroute to Seattle from Dallas, buckled tightly into my seat due to extreme turbulence. Its not easy typing as we dip and drop and bounce but its kind of exciting, too. Makes flying feel even more adventurous. After four great days in Texas, its back home, and back to writing in the morning. […]
