My latest moving experience—hauling my office from downstairs to the upstairs!  Enjoy the photo of my—very briefly—neat and orderly office. It will never be that way again! I wrote about it in my newsletter, did you receive one?  It also mentioned that CROSSED IN LOVE is free until the end of the September. You can … Read more

The Last Chance Christmas Ball


This year has positively flown by. Somehow, I managed to produce three novels and three novellas, while traveling to the UK and Scotland and taking a wonderful tour of western national parks. I like to use the end of the year as a time to celebrate what we’ve accomplished, and I think my proudest accomplishment may be working with the AARP and its sponsors to help establish an elementary school reading tutor program. There may have been bad periods, but this isn’t the moment to look back on them. Celebrating the good helps us move forward. In a few weeks, we’ll be planning what we’d like to do with the new year. Start with looking back on the old! What did you accomplish?
And for those of you who haven’t stumbled across the historical romance anthology, LAST CHANCE CHRISTMAS BALL, the ebook edition is on sale through the beginning of the year for 99c!

I love traveling, but it’s even better when you have the company of someone who understands why it’s necessary to photograph every inch … Read more
