My reader dinners have been the best thing I’ve done in terms of career in years. I LOVE meeting with my readers and having a chance to sit down and just relax and talk over a good meal. Why host my own dinners? For one, I love treating my loyal readers to a girls night […]

Halloween Fun & Games
Mac had so much fun trick or treating with his big brothers! It only took a couple houses before he got the hang of it. You walk, knock, wait and then take candy. The best houses were the houses with dogs. Then you walk, knock, wait and pet the doggie. There was some debate though […]
Brand New Reader Dinners Planned!
As you can tell from the picture below, I really really enjoy meeting my readers and sitting down and having a meal and a drink and just chatting. To me, nothing is more pleasurable than relaxing with friends over a good meal and that’s what I’m planning on doing as much as I can in […]
Join Me Sunday in Woodinville, WA!
I have a wonderful, easy opportunity for my Seattle area readers to join me in supporting the truly outstanding Seattle Children’s Hospital. This Sunday, Star Guild will be holding its Fall Fundraising week, with national shopping, and special events at Barnes and Noble and Ruby’s diner in Woodinville, WA. Have time on Sunday afternoon to […]
Win Jane! … Okay, a Visit with Jane
I love my readers. I really do. You guys are the reason I keep writing even when everything gets chaotic or hard. I so appreciate your support and friendship and sense of fun. During my book tours and book discussions, readers frequently ask me how much my life experiences influence the stories and characters I […]
Texas Round-up
I arrived back in Seattle late last night and Mac couldn’t cope with sleeping in his crib in his own room. I tried to let him cry it out since it was after eleven pm but after 30 minutes of him crying hard I retrieved him and put him into bed with me. He clung to […]
Texas Touring
I love Texas. I really do. I’m having the best time here with my guys, too. In between book events we’ve hit the Texas State Fair in Dallas, visited the Stockyards in Fort Worth with friends Carol and her cowboy husband Garner. In Fort Worth we checked out boots at Leddys before buying a pair […]
Not so easy on the eyes
The eyes have it. Or should I say, they’ve had it? I can’t see anymore. I’ve always worn contact lenses and am used to wearing glasses at night when I need to give my eyes a rest, but now I need contacts and reading glasses and sometimes that is still not enough. Note pic below […]
Status: Happy
It’s been unbelievably gorgeous here in Seattle the past few days. Blue, blue skies and perfect temperatures. I’d meant to write this week, too, but instead am getting ready for my Texas tour and handling all the mom stuff that comes up when you get ready to leave 2 school age kids for over a […]
Emerald City Conf
Can’t believe it’s Sunday night and the Emerald City Conference is over. My writer pals Megan and Liza spent the past four days here and are now getting ready to head home in the morning. I hate that the weekend is already come and gone as this was one of my favorite conferences ever. We had […]
