Big Friends & Family Contest!

I had such a wonderful time visiting with 8 of my readers in Denver before the Mountains & Plains Author Reception that I thought it was time to revisit one of my favorite blog contests ever—a contest where you tell me which friend or member of your family deserves a small care package from me.

Leapin’ Lizard!

While I gasp at the 109 temperatures predicted for today’s high in Fresno, Mac’s in Hawaii with his dad…wearing baby lizards on his head!  When I say we’re raising a wild child, I mean it!  Mac is so funny and silly, and built so much like our English bulldogs I think he is one!   I had […]

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 […]
