Like every little girl, I loved Christmas. Christmas was beautiful and festive and full of mystery. It also meant books. Receiving books: books about the ballet, books by favorite authors, biographies and autobiographies of those gifted writers. It was at Christmas my grandmother might hunt down a book missing from my ‘collection’, or my dad […]

Visalia – My Hometown
I love these shots of my hometown and Visalia’s beloved Fox Theatre! I rode my bike down Main Street every day on my way to ballet. What’s your hometown? Do you still live there or have you moved away? Leave a comment for a chance to win a copy of The Frog Prince. My heroine, Holly […]
Celebrating Life & Love
Four years ago today Ty and I married in Las Vegas. We wanted a celebration, and we wanted it to be fun. I hadn’t planned on ever marrying again and I’m a deeply spiritual person but being married by Elvis in a tacky little chapel seemed right. Why? Because it was Ty and me, […]
The Return of The Frog Prince!
After years of being out of print– and totally unavailable because it wasn’t even an ebook– my first chick-lit/women’s fiction novel, The Frog Prince, is back…now…. at Amazon. It’s the same story my readers loved in 2005 but now, with a brand new cover. Even better is that for this weekend, The Frog Prince is just […]
Vintage JaneBlog: Respecting the Turtles
Every now and then I go back into the archives of my JaneBlog, and revisit something I’ve written, and share it with you again. Some I share because I like the blog or the story. Others I share because I’m still working on that life lesson. Respecting the Turtles is one of those blogs […]
Jane’s Favs: The Secretary’s Seduction
I’ve written over 40 books now and of the 40 there are reader favorites, and critics’ favorites, and then there are my favorites. I don’t know why I love some books more than others. I put the same amount of effort and energy, passion and patience into each. But some books are a struggle, and […]
VINTAGE JANE: Spotlight on Greece for Readers and Travelers
With its ancient ruins, breathtaking architecture, and dramatic glimpses of sky and sea, Greece is a setting that inspires passion and romance. It’s no wonder then that I set three of my most beloved Harlequin Classics—Christos’s Promise, The Greek’s Royal Mistress, and At the Greek Boss’s Bidding—in gorgeous, romantic, sun-drenched Greece. My Travel Spotlight on […]
VINTAGE JANE: Literary Lions
This is one of my favorite blog posts because it’s just so me. Yes, I can look glamorous in a headshot, but the truth is, I’m rather dorky. You’ll see in this blog why Surfer Ty calls me “Stumblelina.” Literary Lions originally posted to the JaneBlog on March 11, 2006 I hurt. Not mentally, it’s […]
VINTAGE JANE: Spotlight on New York & The Secretary’s Seduction
I love, love, love New York. I try to visit the city every year for at least one weekend, and I even took Surfer Ty and my boys there a year and a half ago just before Christmas. New York has always been magical, even when its freezing or blistering hot. I love the buildings, […]
VINTAGE JANE: Headline News
Way back, circa The Frog Prince, I wrote the following post, and though I’ve said the same thing in different ways since, I thought it could bear repeating, especially for my sake. I need to follow my own advice more often! Headline News originally posted to the JaneBlog on September 13, 2005 The headlines in […]
