My latest Harlequin Presents, a story set in Sicily, has been officially accepted and titled. I don’t know when A Dark Sicilian Secret will be scheduled, but fingers crossed it’ll be out this time next year, if not a little sooner. This was such an intense book, and while I loved my premise, it challenged […]

Traveling & Touring Jane
I’m writing a lot this week, working on my new book, and it’s exciting and challenging, and compelling and frustrating, but isn’t that how a new book always is? But even with all the writing, the She’s Gone Country book tour rolls on. This Friday I’m at the Borders at Sea-Tac airport at 9 am, […]
Back Home
Back home after my week in California! It’s been a very successful tour so far. Readers are loving She’s Gone Country and I really want to thank everyone who’s posted a review at Amazon and the other sites! Several of you have emailed to tell me it’s your all-time favorite book that I’ve written. I’m grateful […]
Cover Girl Questions
I’m checking in from the road again, this time from Pasadena, CA! I just received the first entry for my She’s Gone Country Cover Girl Contest—check it out here—plus a lot of questions from readers about the contest rules. Many of you have asked how true to the cover your photos need to be. Answer: […]
Book Events All Week Long!

I am really excited to be on the road, meeting up with readers, and saying […]

Oh, Thank You!
Reviews are starting to come in for She’s Gone Country… This is like Christmas for me. I really really love this part — both the critical response and hearing from readers, too! One review that just came in is from The Chicago Tribune, crediting my writing with “genuine warmth and quiet grace.” Thank you! Another […]
Cowboy Country
I’m slightly mad at the moment, the kind of mad that requires straight jackets, as I juggle mom stuff, the upcoming book tour, and meeting my Sunday deadline for the Harlequin Presents I’m writing. There honestly aren’t enough hours in the day. Compounding the craziness is the fact that a week from tomorrow I leave […]
RWA 2010
Back in Honolulu after 6 days in Orlando for the RWA national conference. I had an amazing week–its such an intense, wonderful, complex, mind numbing, exciting, overwhelming experience. You see friends, you meet readers, you talk to your editors and publicists and agent and meet new industry executives. There are book signings and lunches and […]
Surfing Saturday
This is going to be a super short post as I’m getting ready to head to the beach with my friend Anne who is going to take a surf lesson from Ty. I’m going, too, and taking out a big soft top as it’s been two years since I last surfed and my confidence is […]
