Blog postAs I sit here in my empty classroom waiting (and hoping) for students to return next Monday, I can’t help but think about that first week of school 19 years ago.
I was monitoring study hall and a student (who was a habitual hall walker) asked to go to the library. Fifteen minutes later, he came back to interrupt my quiet class to tell us a plane crashed into a building in NYC.
I remember rolling my eyes at this disruption. I hoped the people in the small private plane, -
Blog postTo get focused on my work, whether it be school, writing, chores, projects, etc., I first take the time (but not too much) to do those things that always distract me. I set a time limit (varies depending on the day) to scroll through Instagram, Facebook, check my email, and then I get to work. I'll also reward myself with breaks, especially when I'm writing.
After an hour or XXX number of words, I'll allow myself 15 minutes on social media. Or after I clean one room in the house (o -
Blog postWhether you're an established author with an agent and a publishing house, or you're just starting out in your writing career, the writing and editing process is daunting. Not "can be" daunting. It IS. It may get easier in some ways, but in others it becomes more complex. There are a bazillion resources out there for writers, but that can be overwhelming as well.
I love this course, Book Editing Blueprint: A Step-by-Step Plan to Making Your Novels Publishable, becaus -

Blog postIt's incredibly bitter sweet to publish this book. I've been writing my Well Paired series for the past four years, and now it's come to an end. While each of the seven books in the series is a standalone, the minor characters in one book end up getting their own love story later on. And once that story is told, the couple pops back up in the rest of the series.
If you're like me, you've fallen in love with Crystal Cove, the little coastal town in Maine, and all of the people -
Blog postIf you're in the same boat I'm in, you're spending more time at home these days (whether by choice or not). Some days I think, "I'm going to do this project today!" And then...I don't. I'm still working but it's not as time consuming. I've been using this extra time to work on my fitness goals, and it's going really well. (YAY!) But there's another life changing goal I'm working toward that many of you tackled decades ago.
I'm only four days into this but I hope to keep it -
Blog postIt's here! Mia and Ryan's story is here!! You met Mia in At First Blush, the first book in my Well Paired series, and have seen her in every book since. Her spunk and sass have been super fun to write, but what man could actually get her to settle down?
Welcome FBI agent Ryan Thorne. You met him in Lily and Ty's story, What Makes Us Stronger. When I wrote that book, I had no idea Thorne would have his own book, but many readers were mesmerized by his quiet demeanor and wanted to -
Blog postI see these surveys on Facebook all the time and enjoy reading them about my friends, but rarely complete them myself. I'm in the middle of my NaNoWriMo challenge this month and figured, why the heck not complete a survey and write a blog post? It's procrastination at its best. Here are 24 questions for grown ups.
1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
My mortgage. It's the bill that NEVER ends!
2. When was the last time you had a romantic dinner?&nbs -
Blog postI had the pleasure of spending this weekend with the most fabulous readers! The Fall in Love With New England Romance Reader Retreat is by far my favorite event to attend. Not only are the authors generous with their gifts and time, but the readers, they're AMAZING! I was blown away with their handmade and thoughtful gifts (totally unexpected!). This year it was held at the Holiday Inn in Nashua, NH. We kicked off the event with a "Charming Meet and Greet" where readers mingled w

Blog postMy dear writer friends, we all have feelings about edits. We either love them or hate them, yes? I'm actually a lover of edits. I look forward to professional feedback that helps make my books as wonderful as they can possibly be. For those of us who have established relationships with fantastic editors, go us! But the search for a good editor can be daunting, am I right or am I right?
Today I sat down with the fabulous owners of Top Shelf Editing to get some fabulous tips and -
Blog postMy children inspire me in so many ways. Little Guy's cute antics have played a role in previous books like False Impressions and Then Came You. The inspiration behind the story in my upcoming release, Finding Our Way Back, was from Sports Girl and her obsession...like MAJOR obsession with all things Grey's Anatomy. So much so that she wants to be a doctor, an anesthesiologist or a general surgeon. Yesterday, she had to have surgery--her first--and the doctors were gettin
