Blog postMy life, since having coronavirus, has been a whirlwind. It took me some time to readjust to my new normal. Having a near-death experience does something to a person. For me, it made me reevaluate everything, from what I spent my time on to how I loved myself. Sadly, we tend to love others more than we love ourselves. What I figured out over the last few months was that loving myself wasn't selfish but helped me become more selfless. When you're in a good space, you have more to offer. It als

Blog postAmidst the chaos, life goes on. On July 6th, this little beauty was born to my son Nik and his wife, Jessica. Nikola is my first grandchild, and she's perfect in every way.
If that wasn't enough excitement, my son Alec is getting married this weekend. He and Corinne have had to postpone their wedding twice due to COVID. We are holding our breath that nothing happens between now and Saturday.
Life is tough in the time of this pandemic, but it's good too. Embrace the posit -
Blog postOne of my favorite things to do is laugh. Laugh at myself. Laugh at my pets. Laugh at anything that tickles my fancy. Even that makes me laugh because I don't know what a "fancy" is.
During COVID-19, we aren't given much to laugh about, so I've gathered some jokes that might tickle your "fancy". Let's retrain our faces on how to smile.
Day 2 without sports: Found a young lady sitting on my couch yesterday. Apparently she’s my wife. She seems nice. Nail salons, -

Blog postWho knew our lives would change so drastically? One day I was on vacation and the next I'd entered an alternative universe. Who knew that toilet paper would be currency and hand sanitizer would be liquid gold.
It's a terrible time in the world, but the one thing I've noticed is that families, while distant, are closer. People are finding joy in small things. An exciting day is when the sun is out and time can be spent basking in it.

Blog postI'll soon be traveling to Maui. It's not really a vacation but an alternative work location for me. My husband has a work conference there—darn it. I figured I can write anywhere, Maui included.
I used to live on Oahu years ago when Jim was stationed at Kaena Point. The kids were all young and the island life was good for us. I'm looking forward to that calm and possibly a mai tai or maybe a piña colada.
I'll be working on a book for a new series called Recipes for Love -
Blog postDive into Frazier Falls where the local diner serves pie like grandma, and the knitting club plans the weddings of unsuspecting residents. It's also where the Cooper brothers live. They are those handsome builders you met in Aspen Cove. They're single and waiting for an introduction. Rescue Me - Book one of the new Frazier Falls series goes live on December 5th. Isn't it time you visited?

Blog postThe first question I get asked when writing a new book is where did you get the inspiration? A spark can be ignited by anything. I love to watch people, you don't have to recreate the wheel to find funny, heartfelt characters. Sometimes they are sitting at the table next to you at the local coffee shop. Sometimes in the grocery checkout. This week I'm getting inspiration from the scenery surrounding me at Lake Louise in Canada where I'm hanging out with fellow writer and good friend Melanie S

Blog postI'm heading to my mother's home for the 4th. She's in her 80's and can still cook like a michelin star chef. Ribs, and all the fixin's today. I was thinking about Aspen Cove and the kind of celebration they might have. I envision fun in the park with the ice cream truck who would serve some funny sounding ice cream. Katie would have tiny flags on all her muffins and the hotties would be grilling. The fire department would let the kids climb all over the truck, and Lydia and Sage would run a f

Blog postWhy a mafia book? Why not? I was in the middle of writing the Aspen Cove Romance Series and thought, I’ll write something a little sexier and more sinister, but I also wanted to appeal to a broad audience. Rather than stick to the standard trope, I created a family of men who were mafia by birth and not by choice. When their father dies, they will do anything to separate from the ‘family business.’
I hope you love this series.

Blog postHave you ever wondered why authors change book covers? Honestly it can be for a bunch of reasons from poor sales to being out of date with current trends.
I'm in the process of recovering two series. The Second Chance Series is getting a new look. This series has had a slew of covers as I tried to find where the market meets the reader. While I've done my due diligence to poll readers, it still puts me in a quandary.
While the poll showed readers wanted clothed couples, the sa -
Blog postAs part of my new Backlist love, I'll be giving you snippets into the minds of the characters, unpublished thoughts and conversations, character interviews, and all the extras you crave.
River ~ The Dean’s List
“You asked him if he was going to kiss you?” Jade asked. “Of course he’d kiss you, he paid for you.”
“No, it was his freebie. He paid for dinner, not for the date.”
“Don’t be silly. Dinner at Per Se cost him a fortune. He paid for you. Did you kiss him?” -
Blog postIn March I took a much needed break and went on the 80s cruise. I'd attended one the year before and enjoyed it well enough, but this year I had a blast. I learned a lot about myself and my environment. First, people do stuff I could never dream to write. The crazy that happens with 2000 people on an all you can drink plan is unimaginable, but it is so much fun. I met notables, such as Lou Gramm and his oh so sexy guitarist Michael Staertow, Rick Springfield who is super funny and hot at 68.

Blog postI thought you might like to know what's happening in my Kindle Scout Experience. On December 19th my book One Hundred Wishes was selected by Kindle Scout. It went through a quick editorial review where I was told lots of nice things about the book. Here are a few of the comments both positive and negative.
Developmental comments:
The story is well-plotted, but the ending struck me as feeling a bit too short and abrupt, particularly coming off the book’s well-crafted and intens -
