Most of you have heard me talking about Megan Crane, who also writes as Caitlin Crews, over the years.  Megan is one of my best and closest friends and I adore her.  We met several years ago when we were both writing for 5 Spot (Hachette) and shared the same editor.  We both also write for Harlequin Presents and share an editor there as well.  Megan is an amazing writer, a wonderful friend and a beautiful person inside and out.  I’m blessed to have her in my life and I’m thrilled beyond words that she joined me in my new adventure with Tule Publishing’s first imprint, Montana Born Books.

I met Maisey Yates three years ago at the Rose City Reader’s Luncheon in Portland, OR.  She’d just sold her first book to Harlequin Presents – at the very young age of 23.   Today Maisey is one of the biggest, brightest voices in the Presents line and I think she’s simply awesome.  I adore her and am so happy to introduce her to you on my Jane Blog.  Maisey has recently branched out from writing her deeply passionate alpha stories to also writing light and sexy contemporary romances set practically in her back yard.  Here’s Maisey! Is there anything that has surprised you about writing or publishing your books? I think what’s surprised me most about publishing is how much … Continue reading Featured Author: Maisey Yates →

You all know how much I love writing my Harlequin Presents but I love my Harlequin Presents author friends just as much.  I’m so thrilled to have fellow Presents author and good friend, Kate Hewitt as my guest today!  Kate and I have known each other for several years and I adore her. I read Kate’s first Harlequin Presents novel, The Italian’s Chosen Wife and fell in love with her voice and writing style.  When I met Kate, I became a true fan.  She’s awesome!  Hugely talented and so warm and wonderful to know.  Like me, Kate started out writing romance and has just taken the leap into Women’s Fiction and I couldn’t be happier for her.  I’ve asked her … Continue reading Featured Author: Kate Hewitt →

I have spent the weekend writing furiously to finish my current manuscript and the writing, while incredibly intense, has been rewarding.  I’m ready to take a little time to relax now and tell you about an incredibly talented author and friend, Brooke Moss. A couple of years ago, I was given a sneak peek at Brooke’s novel, The “What If” Guy.  I so enjoyed it.  Packed with emotion, witty and fun, Brooke’s writing pulled me in right away.  You know me.  I love books with emotion, great characterization and entertaining plots.  Brooke Moss provides all of that and more in her stories and I’m happy to introduce her to you all today.  So without further ado, here’s Brooke Moss! Thanks … Continue reading Featured Author: Brooke Moss →

As you know, I love to donate to Brenda Novak’s Diabetes Auction and I’m doing it again this year.  I used to be an Executive Director for the American Diabetes Association as this is a cause close to my heart.  Diabetes runs in my family and I love helping Brenda in what she’s doing.  I think it’s important and her auction makes it fun for everyone. It has given me some wonderful opportunities and memories too.  Last year I was lucky enough to win Lunch with Thea Harrison and a couple of years before that, I won coffee with Claudia Dain.  Such fun! As usual, I’ve made a donation too and this year, I’m giving away a chance for you to fly … Continue reading Brenda Novak Auction →
