It’s the 4th of July weekend and I’m finishing my chapter 2 today of my new Harlequin, an intense ‘secret baby’ story set in Sicily. I’ve spent the past week working on chapter 2, tearing it apart, putting it back together, editing, tweaking, and just couldn’t figure out what was wrong until I realized that the stakes […]

Home In Hawaii
Mac has become very busy. Extremely busy. He loves to walk and run, explore and pull things apart. He loves to push things closed, too, including all doors, and sometimes his fingers are in between. I’ve been trying to keep Mac out of trouble by letting him help me whenever he can. There are some […]
Fun Review at B&N!
Today I read one of the first ‘public’ reviews of She’s Gone Country over at B&N.com, and I loved it! Made me get that super excited feeling about the book’s upcoming release all over again and I thought I’d share the review with you: From Unabashedly Bookish: The BN Community Blog: I’ve Gone Country… Thanks […]
Reading Claudia Dain
I love to read. Oh, I love to read, and I’ve been so very happy reading for hours every night Claudia Dane’s incredible series, The Courtesan Chronicles. Megan Crane introduced me to Claudia Dane. Insisted I read her. I said yeah, yeah, I’ll make a note of it but never picked up a book. I […]

Another Bug
Apologies for not posting a new blog sooner but I’ve been sick–and traveling–for the past week and am still congested and snuffling and coughing. Mac, of course, came down with the cold, too. I knew it Saturday when he started to act a little crankier than he normally is and then Sunday he was feverish […]

Mac’s 1st Birthday & Screening Fun
It’s been a very busy few days! Sunday was the screening for Christine Fugate’s powerful, wonderful, uplifting film, grief becomes me: a love story. We had well over one hundred people attend the screening and absolutely wonderful food and drink with some of my favorite people in the world. A truly special day, especially as […]
Easter Celebration
I grew up in the Episcopal Church, attending St. Paul’s in Visalia, and then the odd Bible Camp, crusade or revival when I could find one. I spent years doing correspondence bible courses after attending a Billy Graham crusade, and then at UCLA was rebaptized Easter Sunday my sophomore year at Santa Monica Beach in the Pacific […]
No Fools this April Fool’s Day
I’m just finishing my last minute packing before Mac and I dash out the door to catch our 4 pm flight to Hawaii. It’s going to be wonderful to see Ty. It’s been a month since we were all last together and that’s a lot of time for Ty to miss out on his baby […]
