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, […]

Gone Country Sightings
I’m in Auckland at the wonderful Romance Writers of New Zealand’s conference and having an amazing time. These women, and this conference, is so unbelievably cool.

Montana
Bozeman, Montana was awesome. Had an amazing time there these past few days. I loved meeting with Kari Andersen’s Mia Bella group and Ty and I so enjoyed exploring the area. As snow fell we drove to Big Sky and West Yellowstone and saw tons of wildlife, although Mac’s favorite animals were the horses his […]
