I shall make this post brief or it won’t happen I’ve had a hard time writing my blog. I feel almost queasy about writing a blog. It’s not because I don’t want to write one, but because there’s so much I’m thinking about, so much I’m feeling, so much I’m struggling to put into place […]

Hearth & Home
Last Friday I cooked my first meal in my kitchen and last night my son Jake baked a cake. The kitchen is ours. The house is nearing completion. Most of the work remaining is on the library (I converted the living room to a true library…dark paneling, floor to ceiling bookshelves and wonderful crown and […]
Back in Bellevue
My little water baby is back in Bellevue and wrapped in warm winter threads, but his blue eyes and happy chortle remind me of Hawaii and the beaches and his dad. Last night was a big night for Mac in other ways. For the first time he slept in his crib in his own room […]
Surfer Baby
Mac loves the water. He’s always loved his baths but now he’s discovered the ocean and thinks its pretty awesome. He’d never been all the way in until yesterday–just dipped up to his chest before–but in Waikiki while Jake and Krysia surfed with Ty, Kathy, little Ty and Mac and I hung out on the […]
Sun, Sea & Sand
The boys are here now, as is my sister Kathy and her daughter Krystyna. The remodel on the beach house last year appears to have been a success as Kathy and Krysia (Krystyna’s nickname–her father’s from Poland, thus the spelling) love their little suite and are enjoying their visit very much. I love having my […]
Naughty and Nice
Mac’s pretty excited about his first Christmas. But it’s not the presents he loves. It’s the wrapping paper. Merry Christmas to all my wonderful readers and friends. Hope your day is full of laughter and love.
Christmas in Hawaii
It’s Christmas Eve morning and I’ve got Kona coffee brewing and Mac playing with toys on the couch next to me. President Obama and his family are supposed to be arriving on Oahu today, staying at a beach house over in Kailua which isn’t all that far from here. Hawaii is so excited about its […]
Good Tidings
Yesterday afternoon I was zipping around the house, wrapping gifts, sealing up boxes I still needed to mail, organizing presents for Hawaii and it hit me—I felt happy. Happy. The real happy. The happy where you smile easily and you tease with your kids and you walk with a little more energy. And I realized […]
Brrr! Baby, It’s Cold Outside
My new Harlequin Presents is out–Duty, Desire and the Desert King–and I’ve been really busy wrapping gifts, organizing Christmas cards, and planning my son Ty’s birthday party for this weekend. But wow, it’s chillllllly. And it sounds like winter weather has hit everywhere. Snow, ice, freezing conditions. Rain, mudslides, biting wind. Not realizing just how cold it […]
Flirting with the Holidays
It’s Saturday, December 5th, and I’ve jut received an email letting me know that the movie Flirting with Forty will air on Lifetime tomorrow on December 6th. It told me that the movie was one of the top Lifetime films to air in 2008 and based on the book by Jane Porter. I smiled then. […]
