Just returned from airport and putting son Ty on a flight back to Seattle and am now sitting down at desk to recreate the 17 lost pages that were my final chapter of book that I cut and meant to paste, but failed ot paste before pasting new pages over. I was so bummed Sunday […]

Working Moms
We women work. Whether we are moms, holding down jobs, or juggling many hats, we women are busy and moms are the busiest people I know. Whether we work outside the home, or are home managing it all, we put in long hours and rarely sleep enough. And I only mind the work load […]
Happy July 4th!
Happy 4th of July to all my American readers! I can’t believe it’s already the 4th…summer is definitely rolling right along! I’m back in Honolulu after 6 whirlwind days in New York for the annual RWA conference. As some of you know from Facebook, I arrived in NY sick and unfortunately got sicker…requiring a visit […]
Book Signing Secrets Podcast
Waxcreative, my web designers who specialize in author sites (and who create so many of my fun printwork I love to share with you all, like these fun bookmarks that I used for She’s Gone Country), have started a podcast series highlighting book signing tips from author-to-author, and my interview was published this week. As […]
It’s May…and almost Mother’s Day!
Can’t believe it’s early May and the RWA conference in New York is just 7 weeks away! The annual conference is usually late July and I’m excited that I’ll soon be meeting up with so many of my author friends, but a little overwhelmed by all I have to do first! She’s Gone Country continues […]
Little Bear Love
I’m leaving my littlest guy behind for 11 days soon while I take my big boys to Sicily and then the Amalfi Coast. We were supposed to be heading to Egypt with my mom and sister but the unrest and political changes in Egypt made me rethink our decision to cruise the Nile and visit […]
Friday Already?
I’ve been writing so much, and working such long hours, that time kind of blurs together and I’m amazed that its already March 18th…that we’re at another weekend…and soon the start of another week. I’ve been working hard on revising my women’s fiction proposal which has meant shifting books/stories around and starting the series in […]
Heading into Spring Break
Ty flew with us back to Seattle on Monday, and now tomorrow he returns to Hawaii to get back to work. We won’t see him until late March as he’s got to be in Waikiki for Spring Break and it’s going to be a tough month without him. Mac and I have kind of gotten […]
The Harlequin Presents Hero
Having just finished a month and a half of nonstop thinking about a book, and those three crazed weeks of writing, I’ve had the Presents hero very much on my mind. He’s a tricky beast–but definitely intriguing. I’ve just written a post on this very yummy but demanding hero over at the Harlequin Presents Blog and […]
Ah, Deep Breath Now…
Book is in. Ahhhhh. Dang that was hard. Start to finish. Probably didn’t help that I wrote it in 3 weeks, meant my days were just way too long and by this last week I was writing 10-12 hours a day and a chapter and a half a day. Yesterday was 34 pages. The day […]
