Can you believe that tomorrow it will be four years since the Lifetime premiere of Flirting with Forty? I can still remember getting the news that the book had been optioned by Sony, and then the regular updates after that…the hiring of a screenwriter, the outline of the screenplay, the script, the casting, and finally, […]

Checking In
It was a wonderful treat to have so many of my family here for Thanksgiving. We also had some of Ty’s best friends from Hawaii, Tucker and Nichole, here, too, which made it a full house, and a fun house, and with all the work we did, trying to get ready for our guests, this […]
I Heart Caitlin Crews
A lot of you may know Megan Crane is a very close friend of mine but you may not know Megan also writes as Caitlin Crews and I just love her, and her books, and one of the best parts of moving to Orange County is that now I get to see more of her! […]
First Stop… San Francisco!
Well, today is the day! The Good Woman released today and the reviews so far have been wonderful and I feel so happy and grateful for all the love and support from my readers. It’s been so fun to watch all the good wishes come in from Facebook, Twitter and the countless emails. I am […]
Love my Harlequins!
I have officially started writing my new Harlequin Presents as I anticipate the late May 22nd release of my next Harlequin Presents, Not Fit for a King?, which has gotten a stellar 4 1/2 star Top Pick review from RT. I try so hard not to get attached to reviews, good or bad, because I give […]

This will be a very short post as I’m on a plane right now heading to Hawaii with Ty and Mac and we’re going to lose our internet connection any moment. I am so happy to be getting to Hawaii for Easter…but sorry I didn’t get my book in before I left, so Hawaii is […]

Such good people. Such good fun. And last August I begged Megan Crane (aka Caitlin Crews) to go with me and she did, which made the four […]
Dreaming of Beaches & Book Stores
We’ve made an offer on a house in San Clemente, California and hope to close before the end of February. It’s a great house, a historic home, very close to the beach and the San Clemente pier, and so it looks like we’re definitely heading to California in June once boys finish school. It’s exciting […]
Snow Play
What a week! We’ve had days and days of snow and the kids have absolutely loved being out of school. I haven’t been playing though as my deadline is less than a month away and I’m deep into this new book. I really love this one, its complicated and intense, but also really fun as […]
Back to Work
I am working–writing–and it feels good. Really good. I’m one hundred pages into my story and there are areas I need to tighten and edit, and other areas I need to build up and flesh out, but its exciting to start understanding the story and feeling the characters come alive. I am going to be […]
