This is my favorite time of year as a reader for great deals on getting books. Authors are touting their holiday books, joining book bundles, doing genre-specific discounts, and running contests.

For all my Sweetwater Canyon fans, I thought I’d share a bit of the beginning of TWO VOICES. I am about at the half way mark in the book right now, so it is going to get done in time for a Fall release. Yay! If you’ve been reading the series, or just the story […]

I’ve had some of my readers happy to follow me into my new series of Science Fiction Romance, while others seem to be grieving no more Sweetwater Canyon novels.

This is a really special introduction of someone I am confident my romance readers will LOVE! I’ve known Linda Needham for at least a decade. We met at a local Romance Writers of America meeting in Portland. I found her to be kind, funny, and most of all she was already a multi-published author with […]

Todays question comes from Darlene. She asks: “I’m a person who doesn’t like a lot of sex in my romance novels. I’m not a prude or anything but it seems too many books these days have too much. Is their a rule about how much sex you have to have or anything. I notice that […]

This Tuesday’s question comes from Teresa. She asks: “You write a lot about the music in your Sweetwater Canyon books. I know you said your husband plays the guitar, but I wonder how you know so much about the fiddle in Rachel’s book. I play the violin in an orchestra and I’m surprised by the […]

This one is from Sherri, and I think it is particularly appropriate for today’s date. She asks a question about my book Expendable: “Before reading Expendable, I never thought about PTSD. I heard about it from my Dad who was a soldier in the Vietnam War. But he didn’t really talk about it. I just […]

I mentioned in a post to my Reader Group on Facebook, that in July I was planning my 2019 books release schedule. I know it’s hard to imagine I’m already thinking about 2019. If I don’t have a finalized schedule by late October, I tend to start the year discombobulated. :) I also find myself […]

Todays question comes from Evie Bohn. I’m going to quote her email to me so I don’t mess it up. “I love your books because they deal with real issues that women have. I’m kinda surprised though that you talk about fears and trauma around having sex in a romance book. I always thought that […]

This month I’m featuring a person I’ve only met once but knew she lived a life I have only seen on TV. As I grew up in the city (greater Los Angeles) my knowledge of horses was learned ONLY when our family visited Mountain Home, Idaho and my father’s best friend who had thousands of […]
