I just heard back from my new editor in London that she loves my tweaks to my Christmas story set in Venice and that’s a huge relief because 1) I loved this story and was worried it was a little too “out there”, and 2) this is the first time the wonderful Sheila Hodgson has edited […]

Keeping It All Together
Weird. I wake up and my heart’s practically racing. I get out of bed and the mind’s already running ahead, shifting through all I have to do. Kids. Baby. Dog. Food. Writing. Email. Edits. New proposal. Book. Events. Cleaning. Laundry. Baby. Bills. Bills. Headache. August. Book tour. Publicity. Baby. Boys. Homework. Grades. Worry. And the […]
My Little Valentine
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and then my birthday is on the 17th so I’m hitting one of my favorite weeks of the year. My long time readers know I love February’s pink and red colors, the lush tulips in stores, the fun conversation heart candy, and well, hearts. I love the shape of them. I […]
Olympic Games Vancouver Style
We spent last weekend in Vancouver, BC, just 12 days before the Winter Olympic games are to open there. We’d gone north for Jake’s water polo tournament in Surrey and then stayed in downtown Vancouver to sight-see. I’ve always loved Vancouver and seeing the city transformed for the Olympics made the weekend even more special. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Romance Reader Luncheon on Oahu
It’s a gorgeous Tuesday morning in Hawaii and Christmas is just days away. I spent yesterday doing nothing but relaxing after the hectic weekend of preparing for the lunch I hosted on Sunday for Kellie Chang’s Romance Reader Group. We were supposed to have our lunch outside on the deck but it poured all night, […]
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. […]
