Little Bear Love

I’m leaving my littlest guy behind for 11 days soon while I take my big boys to Sicily and then the Amalfi Coast. We were supposed to be heading to Egypt with my mom and sister but the unrest and political changes in Egypt made me rethink our decision to cruise the Nile and visit […]

Friday Already?

I’ve been writing so much, and working such long hours, that time kind of blurs together and I’m amazed that its already March 18th…that we’re at another weekend…and soon the start of another week. I’ve been working hard on revising my women’s fiction proposal which has meant shifting books/stories around and starting the series in […]

Cover Girl Rebecca Jones

I am so excited about this blog.  It’s a really special one for me as this Cover Girl blog is all about my cover model for She’s Gone Country!  That’s right. I’m featuring an interview with Rebecca Jones, the model featured on the cover of She’s Gone Country. I “met” Rebecca when she emailed me while […]

New Orleans

This is a shorty blog as I’m writing fast and furious today and I’ve three boys sick with the flu.  🙁 But before we were hit with the flu last week, and before Surfer Ty returned to Hawaii, we had our own little Mardi Gras party on Wednesday night. We wore green, gold and purple […]

Heading into Spring Break

Ty flew with us back to Seattle on Monday, and now tomorrow he returns to Hawaii to get back to work. We won’t see him until late March as he’s got to be in Waikiki for Spring Break and it’s going to be a tough month without him. Mac and I have kind of gotten […]

The Harlequin Presents Hero

Having just finished a month and a half of nonstop thinking about a book, and those three crazed weeks of writing, I’ve had the Presents hero very much on my mind. He’s a tricky beast–but definitely intriguing. I’ve just written a post on this very yummy but demanding hero over  at the Harlequin Presents Blog and […]

Ah, Deep Breath Now…

Book is in. Ahhhhh. Dang that was hard. Start to finish. Probably didn’t help that I wrote it in 3 weeks, meant my days were just way too long and by this last week I was writing 10-12 hours a day and a chapter and a half a day. Yesterday was 34 pages. The day […]

Writing Writing Writing

It’s Monday again. Not sure how it came around again so fast. Feels like it should be Thursday. But no, Thursday I flew to Tucson to join Shannon Yun’s bookclub which turned out to be a really fun mix of readers and RWA members. Loved the dinner and the company and conversation. Was a wonderful […]

Little Angel

Tomorrow we show the house for the first time. It’s not even formally on the market. I’ve been working on getting the house ready to list for weeks and am tired. And then, just when I think everything is finally perfect and ready for tomorrow morning’s showing, Mac opens the spice cabinet and unscrews the […]

Back to the Mainland

We leave in the morning on the 9 am flight back to Seattle. I’d thought I’d write today but instead I’ve spent my time cleaning, sorting, paying bills, and packing. I’ll be back in 6 weeks or so for our mid winter break but its still hard to leave. Everything in Hawaii is so much […]
