I’m in Auckland at the wonderful Romance Writers of New Zealand’s conference and having an amazing time. These women, and this conference, is so unbelievably cool. Have been getting texts and emails and blog posts about She’s Gone Country sightings and thought I’d share this one from my pal Janelle who spotted the book on […]

Country Girl (Shey), Cover Girl (You), Soon to be Back-in-the-USA Girl (Me)
I’m ready to hit the touring road, and am off to charming Auckland, New Zealand, where I will attend their Romance Writers’ Conference this week. And next Monday I will be back in the states, getting ready for my book launch party at Books Inc in Palo Alto, CA, and basking in the excitement of […]
Oh, Thank You!
Reviews are starting to come in for She’s Gone Country… This is like Christmas for me. I really really love this part — both the critical response and hearing from readers, too! One review that just came in is from The Chicago Tribune, crediting my writing with “genuine warmth and quiet grace.” Thank you! Another […]
She’s Gone Country shipping early!
She’s Gone Country isn’t due to be available in stores until August 23, but GREAT NEWS! It’s already starting to ship from Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. I’m sure other online retailers aren’t far behind. I’m super excited that you guys are going to be able to read it a little bit earlier than expected! […]
Cowboy Country
I’m slightly mad at the moment, the kind of mad that requires straight jackets, as I juggle mom stuff, the upcoming book tour, and meeting my Sunday deadline for the Harlequin Presents I’m writing. There honestly aren’t enough hours in the day. Compounding the craziness is the fact that a week from tomorrow I leave […]
RWA 2010
Back in Honolulu after 6 days in Orlando for the RWA national conference. I had an amazing week–its such an intense, wonderful, complex, mind numbing, exciting, overwhelming experience. You see friends, you meet readers, you talk to your editors and publicists and agent and meet new industry executives. There are book signings and lunches and […]
Home In Hawaii
Mac has become very busy. Extremely busy. He loves to walk and run, explore and pull things apart. He loves to push things closed, too, including all doors, and sometimes his fingers are in between. I’ve been trying to keep Mac out of trouble by letting him help me whenever he can. There are some […]
An Afternoon With The Girls
I’ve been in Hawaii a week today, but before I left Bellevue last week, I had the chance to spend part of the afternoon with some very smart, very literate young ladies who attend Seattle’s French-American School together. I’d met one of the moms at a fundraiser back in April (at least I think it […]
Fun Review at B&N!
Today I read one of the first ‘public’ reviews of She’s Gone Country over at B&N.com, and I loved it! Made me get that super excited feeling about the book’s upcoming release all over again and I thought I’d share the review with you: From Unabashedly Bookish: The BN Community Blog: I’ve Gone Country… Thanks […]
I Wish I Was a Librarian
I practically grew up in the Visalia library. From an early age I rode my bike there and back, mywhite plastic flower basket on the front of my Schwinn bike with the turquoise banana seat packed with books. Mrs. Livingstone, the head librarian, always allowed me to check out more than the maximum amount you could […]
