Happy December! I’ve been working with my editor on the backcover copy for my new women’s fiction book out in September from Berkley. So far the title is my own working title, The Good Woman, and I’m hoping they keep it. I thought I’d share the back cover blurb with you, but remember that it […]

Random Happiness
I haven’t been blogging a lot lately. I’m sure you’ve noticed. But things here at home have consumed me. Being a mom has meant I’ve had to focus my energy on the kids and the writing has been pushed to the side for the time being. It’s okay. That’s how it goes. I don’t know […]
Smart Puppy
It’s November 7th and I’m still trying to get settled back into a productive routine and it hasn’t happened yet but I’m not giving up. I vowed last Friday that starting Monday morning, every morning M-F I will get into my garage and do twenty minutes cardio. Every morning, 20 mins minimum. If I want […]
Daddy, Mommy, Baby
Love the way 2 1/2 year olds look at the world. Mac had visited a pumpkin patch earlier in the day with Jamette, his ‘other mother’, and an amazing part of our family, and at dinner when he was in his high chair he spotted the three pumpkins sitting on the kitchen counter and cried, […]
Homestretch
Book is due Friday. A week from tomorrow Ty and I go on our honeymoon. Kids have wildly different needs but I am all tunnel vision now. It’s writing from 8 am until 8 pm or later. No TV, no hanging out, no chatting, chilling or anything but getting words on page and tackling the […]
Work, Work, Work
I’ve had my head down the past few weeks, writing feverishly and sitting long hours at my computer, to meet my October 15th deadline. Meg’s story, the first in the Brennan trilogy, is really shaping up and I’m so excited about the next two stories in this trilogy, too. Meg’s book will be out next […]
Smile
Last week my great friend Liza Palmer shared this Operation Smile Video with me, and I shared it with my guys and it literally turned my day around. I’d been having a hard day and the video gave me perspective and helped me remember what’s important in life…and why I love Operation Smile. I’m having […]
How Does She Do It?
People always tell me that I’m amazing…that I juggle so many balls and get so much done…two houses, busy travel and speaking schedule, two publishers, multiple book contracts, three kids, and now a wedding in just a couple weeks. So how do I do it? I get help. Lots of help. I have childcare, and […]
Books, Kids & Vegas Weddings
The little Vegas wedding on September 17th has gotten pretty big and we’ve just switched to a bigger chapel to accomodate everyone! Ty has 25 family members coming. I have another 21. And then there are the friends, and the friends with kids and so it looks like we’re going to have roughly 70 there […]
Last Beach Tote Giveaway!
I’m getting married in less than a month now, and summer is beginning to wrap up, and the writing is just starting to heat up! I’ve so much work on my plate that I can’t really think about it and just have to jump in with both feet. To celebrate the last few weeks of […]
