Happy New Year! Happy Reading in 2015!

By |2023-02-06T23:46:49+00:00January 6, 2015|Posts|Comments Off on Happy New Year! Happy Reading in 2015!

I don’t know about you but 2015 came on so quickly I’m hustling to get everything in order. But that’s what is so exciting about the New Year. It’s time to stop reflecting and to take action, and most especially, time to try something new. And in that spirit, I’d love it if you would consider giving my award-winning and bestselling women’s fiction novels a try. And right now, for a few more days, the novels are just 99 cents for your eReader and my short story is FREE! How’s that for an enticing deal? Let me tell you a little about each story. Here, Home, Hope – my very first novel – is a story of reinvention perfect for the New Year. Kelly Johnson becomes restless in her thirty-ninth year. An appetite for more forces her to take stock of her middling middle-American existence [...]

Christmas is the time for book deals!

By |2023-02-06T23:46:50+00:00December 14, 2014|Posts|Comments Off on Christmas is the time for book deals!

If you peruse the bookshelves -- online or in person -- you'll notice this holiday season, especially online, books are being discounted like crazy! And it's not just indie or hybrid authors' books. Nope, it's everybody's. As a reader, I'm certain this is the most wonderful time of year. As an author, it's scary because I just don't know how new readers will discover my work in the sea of discounts and ever-expanding online bookshelves. But I believe. I have to. Because I know I work hard, and I know my stories resonate with the readers who discover them. And, so I keep writing and, my publisher is trying a Kindle countdown! The Trouble with Christmas, my latest contemporary romance, is just 99 cents for the next four days. I'd love it if you'd download the story of Lily and Cole, two people who are both [...]

Thinking about all things Thanksgiving

By |2023-02-06T23:47:05+00:00November 15, 2014|Thanksgiving|Comments Off on Thinking about all things Thanksgiving

But it's hard, because I'm being bombarded by Christmas. Songs, decorations, advertising, everything. I love the holidays, each, in order, but lately, it feels as if Thanksgiving is being completely squeezed out. So, I hope you'll join me in a little crusade to think about Thanksgiving. It's time for an attitude of gratitude. So between now, and Turkey Day, try to be extra thankful for everything in your life. Start with you. Look at yourself in the mirror, and smile. Be thankful for the person looking back at you. Extend your thanks to your friends and family.  Tell someone you love that you do. Do it now. You know all of those people who make your life a little easier everyday? Tell them thanks. Look them in the eye and mean it. Have you volunteered lately? Directly helping another human being who you don't know, [...]

Were you ever a baby?

By |2023-02-06T23:47:16+00:00October 30, 2014|Posts|Comments Off on Were you ever a baby?

I was a baby. I'm assuming you were, too. If you were lucky enough, your parents could afford to go out to dinner every once in awhile to get a break from, well, you and if not that, they would take you along. And there you'd sit, squeaking, squawcking, being a baby (or toddler) and doing what people like you did at that age. Sometimes, if you were particularly feisty or bored, you might even let out a screech or a cry. A baby did that at a restaurant last night. We were there. Two of my four kids, my husband and I. We thought the little guy was adorable. Not bad, not good, just, well, a baby. Let me give you the setting. We were dining at our favorite Indian Restaurant, a place called Tamarind of London. A very important name as it is [...]

And now, a fleeting moment of zen

By |2023-02-06T23:47:27+00:00September 24, 2014|alone time|Comments Off on And now, a fleeting moment of zen

During a walk through my beautiful town of Laguna Beach, California, I stumbled upon this saying artfully presented in the railing along the shore. I thought you might enjoy it, in this fleeting moment. And remember, you will only have this moment once. Enjoy! "In this fleeting moment, what extravagant respite is booming surf speaks its mystical passage across the undreamed depths."

Focused on September? I’m thinking about Christmas!

By |2023-02-06T23:47:31+00:00September 5, 2014|Posts|Comments Off on Focused on September? I’m thinking about Christmas!

It's funny! I've never written a Christmas story before so when Tule Publishing asked me if Indigo Island could be festive for the holidays, I said of course! You of course have read book 1 -  Weekend with the Tycoon and book 2 - Lines in the Sand and are anxiously awaiting book 3! Right? (Thank you if you said yes!) In addition to MY Christmas story, The Trouble with Christmas, Southern Born Books will release three other Carolina-set novellas! I'm so excited to be a part of all the holiday festivities and I hope you will be, too! Here's the spectacular cover! So enjoy the rush of back-to-school, the fun of fall and stay tuned for more about Christmas! The Trouble with Christmas releases November 10th! Indigo Island is wonderfully romantic during the holiday season, at least if you're Cole and Lily! Here's a [...]

This hurts so much

By |2023-02-06T23:47:44+00:00August 27, 2014|puppy love|Comments Off on This hurts so much

My dog is dying. There, I wrote it. As I type, with tears running down my face, the words blurring in front of my eyes, Oreo my beloved 15 1/2 year old mutt is losing his battle with congestive heart disease.He's now suffering from what the vet thinks is an infection. He coughs constantly. But he still smiles, and wags his tail. He is eating and even barks a bit when somebody comes to the door. Right now, he's asleep under my desk. Someday soon we're going to be faced with the end. I really can't imagine not having him by my side. His constant, overly protective presence has been a part of our family since my youngest child was three. My daughter picked Oreo out at the pet store, during a "just looking" visit. Well, truth be told, I sort of leaned her in [...]

Welcome back to Indigo Island! This time, you'll arrive on this beautiful South Carolina Sea Island by ferry accompanied by twenty-six-year-old Dorsey Pittman who is excited to have a fresh start, far from the heartbreak and tragedy of her childhood. She's happy to sign the no romance clause in her contract because she's determined to focus on her career. The only problem is every time the resort's tall, handsome, and sexy lifeguard is close, sparks fly. Twenty-seven year old Jack Means is only lifeguarding this summer to ensure his advancement at Top Corp's Melrose Plantation, where he's in line for a dream job. But it's hard to remember the no romance clause in his contract when Dorsey arrives on the island. She's beautiful, adventurous, and hard to ignore. But dating her could get him fired, jeopardizing everything. Can Jack keep it casual and walk away [...]
