Happy August! Oh my God, where is the summer going!? I hope you’re all enjoying your summer vacations! I just had a great vacation with a visit from my friend Rita. What a wonderful time we had! But now I have to get back to work, and I started in yesterday with reading the galley…
Introducing Free Fall! Isn’t the cover by Rosemary Gunn gorgeous and sexy! Long ago and far far away (on my 30th birthday), I jumped out of a plane! With a parachute, of course, or I wouldn’t be writing this now. It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever done. Free Fall is incredible. It was…
My husband and I lost our beautiful dog Star one month ago. Star was an 11-year-old Norwegian Elkhound. If any of you have read my bio on my website, you will have been introduced to Star because she wrote it for me. Losing her was very sudden; one day she was fine and happy, the…
Congratulations to my fellow Laced With Desire authors, Jaci Burton, Joey Hill, and Denise Rossetti. We won the CAPA Award for best anthology in 2010 from the Romance Studio! Whoohoo! What a nice Valentines present! Check out the excerpt for my story, La Petite Mort in Laced With Desire. What’s the name of the company…
One of my 2011 goals is to get the Max Starr series up in print. The first two books, Dead to the Max and Evil to the Max are out there! And this month, Desperate to the Max is available. I’ve reworked the text for some of the technology changes we’ve experienced since I first…
Finally I have all my calendars up! I don’t know why, but there’s a weird sense of excitement about what goes up on the wall. This year I splurged and bought a Norwegian Elkhound calendar for my hubby for Christmas. Yes, I paid full price and bought it two months before Christmas (because I got…
Okay, I heard about Glee when it first came out, and I thought it sounded so…dumb. A glee club? How…high school. But then I started hearing great things about the show. And I was still dubious. But finally, just because I love musicals (I got The Sound of Music on Blu-Ray for Christmas!!!), I thought…
For the first time in about five years, I actually bought a Christmas tree! And even decorated it! And I’m having the whole family over for Christmas Day. Usually we do it at my sister’s house, but I made the executive decision to have it at my house this time instead of making her do…
I had a marvelous Thanksgiving holiday with my mom and a wonderful visit out to my brothers. One of the highlights of the trip was meeting Chelle and Emmitt. Chelle is a great fan of mine (whoohoo, thank you, Chelle, for making my entire year), and I fell in love with her baby Emmitt. That’s…
A little business first! Congratulations to Estella on winning last week’s blog, a copy of Marianne Stillings Sighs Matter! I’ve got your address, Estella and I’ll get the book mailed out to you as soon as I get back from vacation (next week!). And now, I’d like to introduce my special guest Rosemary Gunn. I…
My sister sent me the link to a video the other day. And I just have to say I absolutely loved it. I don’t know why, maybe because I’ve always loved The Sound of Music. Almost as much as Beauty and the Beast! Both of which I’m getting on Blu-ray for Christmas (oops, I’m not…
First of all, thanks to Crystal Kauffman for stopping by last week and giving us that great story! It’s almost Halloween! And my favorite thing is to open the front door to all those little ghosts and goblins! Kids are so adorable. I love their costumes, and they get so excited when you tell them…
