The Lost Sheenan’s Bride – Release Day!

Today The Lost Sheenan’s Bride releases, and its a bittersweet day.  I confess, I put off writing The Lost Sheenan’s Bride for a long, long time.  It wasn’t because I didn’t like or know the story, but because I knew when it was finished, my The Taming of the Sheenans series would be complete, and it broke my heart a little bit.  These tough Montana brothers have been with me for three years now.  I started the first, Brock’s Christmas at Copper Mountain, late summer 2013, and here we are, summer of 2016 saying goodbye. I love connected stories, especially stories about families.  My family is my world, and when I lost my dad at fifteen, it was my close relationship with my two brothers and … Continue reading The Lost Sheenan’s Bride – Release Day!

Happy Father’s Day!

I know a lot of you don’t get my newsletters anymore due to spam filters, so I’m sharing my newsletter here AND adding a special giveaway for one of you! Today is Mac’s last day of first grade and then, on Sunday, it’s Father’s Day! Where did time go? I began a book a few months ago, looked up, and now it’s mid- June. On Sunday we head to Hawaii for the summer so Ty can get back in the water. His surf school is always so busy during school holidays, and Mac can’t stand being apart from his dad, so we all pack up and travel together. I love Mac and Ty’s special bond. They are two peas in … Continue reading Happy Father’s Day!

Tule’s 4 RITA Nominees!

I’m in Hawaii for Easter and I woke up at 4:25 am Hawaii time to make sure my son Ty, who was heading to LAX this morning to fly to Oahu, was fine and all checked in.  But instead of a text from Ty, there was a text from Megan Crane, saying:  CJ Carmichael! Go Tule! I answered:  Hey, it’s only 4:25 am here, and I’m slowly waking up.  What’s going on? Megan answered:  The RITAS! Well, I woke up pretty fast, and then Megan texted me again:   Plus Madeline Ash and Heidi Rice. And then:  Kat Latham.  Twice! So wow.  Yes, son Ty made it to the airport, but that’s so boring when you get amazing RITA news … Continue reading Tule’s 4 RITA Nominees!

The Tycoon’s Kiss…a made for TV movie?

Two years ago I wrote The Tycoon’s Kiss, the second book in my Taming of the Sheenan series.  The Tycoon’s Kiss, is classic Jane Porter romance:  Troy Sheenan, a gorgeous driven tycoon falls for Taylor Harris, the smart, bespectacled small town librarian. A year ago The Tycoon’s Kiss was one of four Tule stories being considered for a TV film by a reputable Los Angeles producer.  Discussions and film options take a lot of time and very often nothing happens, so I was really delighted when just a couple weeks ago the producer’s team sent Tule an offer to option Tycoon’s Kiss.  The story is  now in pre-production and I promise to share more once I have firm details.   But until then, … Continue reading The Tycoon’s Kiss…a made for TV movie?
