This has been a big week for me—personally and professionally. It’s special because we released Megan Crane’s Tempt Me, Cowboy ten years ago, which kicked off the 75th Copper Mountain Rodeo, launching Montana Born, and what would soon be Tule Publishing. Montana Born was started with three of my closest author friends: Megan Crane, CJ Carmichael, and Lilian Darcy. I thought it would be fun to write something together and after calling everyone, we booked flights and met in early May 2013 at CJ’s new cottage on Flathead Lake, to brainstorm our individual series and create some connecting threads in our new fictional town, Marietta. While brainstorming outside on the deck of the cottage with the gorgeous views of the deep blue lake and the Mission Mountains, CJ suggested we … Continue reading Take Me Please! →

Dear Readers, It’s almost Easter and Mac starts Spring Break on Friday.  It’ll be fun to have the week off with him, to just hang out and enjoy my almost 13 year old. We are also just six weeks from the release of Flirting with Fifty, the first book in my Modern Love series from Berkley.  This series will be available in print and ebook, in bookstores (yes!) and at all the online retailers, too. The hero in Flirting with Fifty, Dr. Jack King, was inspired by a cousin of mine who is one of the world’s leading epidemiologists, but my cousin is English not Australian.  My cousin’s work takes him all over the world, and his students adore him.  So that’s where the idea … Continue reading Pre-Order Now!

I have been with the same web studio, Waxcreative Design, since before my very first book came out over 15 years ago. Four sites (three of my own, and Tule, too!) and over 100 promo projects later, I can’t say enough about how great they are to work with — I’m sure they are just as great to work for. They are adding to their team, and with the hope of hitting the jackpot and getting both a talented web developer and a reader, I offered to help spread the word: Click on the image above, or go to waxcreative.com/jobs. It’s not just my site — among their dozens of clients (including Sylvia Day, Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, Susan Andersen, and more), Wax is the team behind the … Continue reading Be a part of my website! →

Wedding season is not over in Marietta yet and my guest today is another wonderful Tule author who has contributed so much to our wedding fun this year.  Please help me welcome the lovely Kat Latham to JaneBlog! Here’s Kat to talk about Wedding Memories and her new release, Two Nights With His Bride! ~ For a romance author, I’m surprisingly pragmatic about weddings. I didn’t grow up dreaming about my wedding day. I don’t think I ever looked at bridal magazines till I started writing Two Nights with His Bride. When I got engaged in 2005, I picked out my wedding dress within about an hour of shopping with my mom. I think I tried on only four dresses.  … Continue reading Kat Latham: Wedding Memories →

My readers know I’m a travel junkie.  It’s my parents fault.  They loved to travel and they would take us, their four kids, on as many adventures as they could.  Thanks to my parents influence, I knew when I was in high school that I wanted to be a writer, and a traveler.  I couldn’t imagine being tied to a desk job without any freedom.  Fortunately, one of my first jobs out of college was working for a small regional airline (later bought by American Airlines) and my job was to sell these commuter planes, introducing them to travel agents and the public in the San Joaquin Valley.  Metroliners were small, narrow, just 19 seats with no flight attendant or … Continue reading Travel Junkie →
