I love reading and writing about spirited heroines and brooding, but charming heroes. Maybe that’s why I’m a fan of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Haven’t read the book in a long while–need to do that again!–but in the past several months, I’ve managed to watch both the BBC version and the later feature […]
Married Love in the Movies
I don’t watch much TV, but I took my kids bowling on Good Friday, and there are huge television screens all over our local bowling alley. Most of them were showing the Masters Golf Tournament, but one was playing an interview with the actor Jesse Metcalf. I wasn’t paying much attention, because there was no […]
Let’s Talk … Ensemble Casts
One of my favorite movies is Dan in Real Life. Have you seen it? Because I’ve watched it so many times, I think I’ve pinpointed at least one of my favorite things about this movie: its quirky, ensemble-like cast. Like any great romance, there is one main hero (or heroine) of the story, in this […]
What if my book became a movie? + #Giveaway
It’s always been a dream of mine to see one of my books become a movie. The idea that the words from the pages of one of my books would come to life on a screen with real people playing out the story is such an exciting feeling. One review from my first novel, Holding […]
Premier Plans (Plus a Giveaway)
It was exciting when my book Finding Love in Big Sky was made into a movie, but nobody in the United States has been able to watch it yet. Until NOW. Okay, not exactly now. But soon. I’ve got viewer info for you, and I’ve got almost three months to plan a big red carpet […]
Dreams do Come True #giveaway
Happy March, everyone! We had our birthday bash and an introduction to spring in some areas. And, along with those things, I had the opportunity to do something I’ve always dreamed of doing. Our favorite winery that we visit in North Georgia was the location for a movie shoot. We are friends with the owners […]
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 […]
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 […]
Meet the Actors Who Brought My Book to Life
This past weekend, I got to do one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. I got to see the characters from my book Finding Love in Big Sky come to life! Josh was the first character I met: Johnathan Stoddard was so engaging, intelligent, and giving. He got into acting as a kid, […]
Formula for Christmas Romance
It’s snowing in Idaho today, which is very appropriate for the release of A Christmas Romance Collection. The book set offers six romance novels that take place during the holidays, including my novel optioned for film, Finding Love in Big Sky, or, as the producer renamed it, Starlight Christmas. My book is also being recorded […]
