If you liked my last novel, Husband Auditions, then you’re going to love my big news. I signed a contract for two more romantic comedies!!! Hero Rehearsals: Gemma attends citizen’s police academy as research for the screenplay she’s writing…and to get better acquainted with the cop who “rescued” her when he mistakenly assumed she’d been […]
Love is in the Air with Audiobooks
I enjoy cozying up in front of the fireplace or laying out by the pool as I read, but you know what I enjoy even more? An audiobook that helps a long drive fly by. In fact, some really good audiobooks make me want to keep on driving. In January, I drove to Salt Lake […]
5 Reasons Rom-Com Rocks (plus 10 books you can win)
I enjoy reading romantic suspense, and I tried writing it, but my editor kept taking out all the humor. Apparently it’s not scary anymore if the heroine binge eats whenever she’s in a dangerous situation. Picture the hero and heroine in hiding. The hero peeks around the corner to gauge their surroundings and comes up […]
Finding Love at Christmas PLUS GIVEAWAY
When I set out to write Finding Love in Big Sky, I knew there was a potential movie producer who might be interested, so I made it as Hallmark-ish as I could. There was ice skating, a cowboy ball, and the holidays. I never, in a million years, would have guessed they’d film the movie […]
Meeting THE Debbie Macomber
Growing up, my mom was a writer. She sold stories to Sunday school curriculum and magazines, and I’d always get autographed books in my stocking that she’d pick up at writing conferences. We also shared novels, and one novel we both loved was Rainy Day Kisses by Debbie Macomber. Well, my mom wrote to Debbie, […]
You Had Me at Sequel
Husband Auditions came out in August, and readers are asking for a sequel. I thought maybe I could satisfy their appetites by writing a short story based on beloved roommate, Gemma. (To read her romance in this month’s edition of Spark Magazine, Falling in Love, click here.) But then my editor asked me to pitch […]
My (Lazy) Hero
Most heroes don’t stay seated when someone rings their doorbell. Most heroes don’t have a butt dent in their sofa. Most heroes don’t work at night so they can sleep the day away. Kai Kamaka from Husband Auditions is not most heroes. It’s been interesting to hear reader reactions to writing a lazy hero. Some […]
After Happily-Ever-After
Today is my 10-year wedding anniversary. <3 We’ve been through a lot in ten years. Besides the challenges of blending families with six kids, we’ve survived three Achilles surgeries, one heart surgery, two house floods, three totaled vehicles, cancer, and more. I don’t think this is what anyone dreams of when they promise to stick […]
The Writer and the Rider
When my husband first asked if I was okay with him buying a Harley, I said, “Honey, I’m a romance writer.” Meaning, “Yes.” First of all, he’d supported my dreams of writing, so I wanted to support his dream of riding. Secondly, I thought riding a motorcycle would be like I’d written it in my […]
Confessions of Authors Who Oopsed
For those of you who like beach reads during the summer, I’m offering Finding Love in Seaside as a free download. It’s a prequel novella to my Resort to Love Series. Click here to download. The downside to having entire the series now available as one download on Amazon is that readers often speed read […]
