It’s been a crazy week holed up in my office trying to get words down for my upcoming deadline at the end of this month but I have made some good progress. I’ve been bribing myself with all sorts of rewards just to stay focused and the best reward is just around the corner – […]

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 […]
Laura Spinella’s Perfect Timing
I’m in Hawaii for Christmas and New Year’s this year and taking time off to just be with my family. I have a few revisions to wrap up on my next Harlequin Presents (was supposed to get them done before Christmas!) but stopped stressing out so I could focus on my boys and just enjoy […]
Featured Author: Beth Kendrick
I was trying to think when, and where, I first met Beth Kendrick…and I can’t. I have so many great memories of her—tea with our librarian friend, John Charles…presenting together at a Scottsdale Library program, lunches and more teas, and then our great visit in Hawaii this summer when Beth brought her mom and son […]
Back in Hawaii
I’m back in Hawaii and so enjoying the time with my boys. It’s been six weeks since I saw my guy Ty and three weeks since I held Mac. It’s so good to be back with them both, and now Jake arrives from California tomorrow with a couple of friends. All I need is […]
Featured Author: Amy Sue Nathan
I’m back from Montana and already packing for Oahu to attend this weekend’s Book & Music Festival in Honolulu, before heading on to Minneapolis for my reader dinner on Monday, and then a book club dinner on Tuesday with the Horshoe Trail Book Club. I can’t believe I’m already repacking but when I fly, […]
Celebrating Flirting with Forty
Can you believe that tomorrow it will be four years since the Lifetime premiere of Flirting with Forty? I can still remember getting the news that the book had been optioned by Sony, and then the regular updates after that…the hiring of a screenwriter, the outline of the screenplay, the script, the casting, and finally, […]
Easter Parade
This will be a very short post as I’m on a plane right now heading to Hawaii with Ty and Mac and we’re going to lose our internet connection any moment. I am so happy to be getting to Hawaii for Easter…but sorry I didn’t get my book in before I left, so Hawaii is […]
This is the Real Thing
I don’t relax easily. Find it difficult to sit still unless I’m reading something, and even then I’m wiggling a foot up and down, a constant jiggle perfected by my fellow Porters…my dad, my brothers, even my sister to a certain extent. I’ve a quick temper, too, far too impatient, and easily irritated when I […]
A Very Beachy Tree
Christmas in Hawaii is so different from Christmas in Bellevue–different decorations and traditions–but still festive and fun. Mac loved helping put the ornaments on the tree, each blue ball was his “favorite”, and he is having a very hard time resisting the few packages slipped beneath the tree. Our tree here is a themed tree, […]
