I announced this week that 2012 was about personal change, and 2013 is going to be about professional change. So in 2013 I’m shaking it up professionally. I’m not going to write what I’ve been writing for all the publishers I’ve been writing for. My choice. I let my agent go and have yet to […]

Readers, Books, & A Great Discussion
I truly enjoy talking books (and smack!) with women. I love hearing what people are reading and enjoying, as well as what doesn’t work for them and why. One of my favorite things to do–besides treat friends to afternoon tea–is join readers for their book club get together. It’s not always possible for me to […]
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 […]
Truths
It’s November 1st. Can hardly believe it. It’s been such a crazy, busy, turbulent Fall. One of my friends told me over the weekend she missed my blogs, and wished I was writing more in my blogs, and sharing more, and I told her that I couldn’t. That things had actually been very hard for […]
Favorite Fall Reading: Kelly O’Connor McNees
I’m in Bellevue, Washington for the weekend for the Emerald City Writer’s Conference and so I’ve asked the talented Kelly O’Connor McNees to be my featured author this week on my blog. Kelly is an amazing writer. As most of you know, I love historical settings, especially in the US. Having majored in American […]
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! […]
Summer Reading: Karen White
Good morning, everyone! I can’t believe this is it for summer. Many kids are back in school already, and my three start brand new schools this next week. I LOVE it here on the California coast–can’t believe we really live here—and hope that soon we’ll be out of boxes and have furniture in all room. […]
A Special Good Woman Contest
We leave Washington tomorrow. We’re on an 8 am flight to Orlando and then Saturday morning we board our Disney cruise with all my family, (Mom, sister, both my brothers and all their kids, too) and then after the cruise ends, we fly straight to Orange County to settle into the new house. It’s been […]
Happy Father’s Day!
I’m really pushing hard to finish this novella and I’ve got to be honest…I’m exhausted. I need a vacation from writing and getting the new house ready for us, and worrying about the kids who are so sad to leave Bellevue. But things work out, they always work out, so I’m sharing some photos of […]
Gardens & Goodbyes
Five days until I move out of our beautiful Yarrow Point house and into a hotel for our last month here in Washington. So bittersweet! It’s going to be very tough for us to say goodbye to this house and to Bellevue. There are so many memories here. Two of my three sons were born […]
