I got a chance to sit down with the characters from my upcoming release and do a Q&A session with them! I thought this would be a good (and fun!) way to introduce you to Josephine and Jack Gilbert from Second Chance with the Hero. We’ll start with Josephine, and have Jack ask her these […]
Sister Stories
The sister relationship is one of the most complicated. From best friends to mortal enemies, every set of sisters has a different dynamic and relationship, and that’s true not only from family to family but sister to sister within the same family. With three daughters and a sister of my own, it’s definitely a relationship […]

Small Town Romance
I live in a small town. I’ve lived in my small town of less than ten thousand people for the past twenty years. Before that I lived in another small town. And while there are some advantages to living in the city (and hey, I’ve written books set in cities from NYC to London) there’s […]
When Troubles Brew After “I Do”
Most romance novels end either with the couple on the threshold of marriage, with the wedding itself, or while the lovebirds are in newlywed bliss. We close the book with a happy sigh, knowing that this couple are going to grow old together, along with all the joys that married life brings. But, far too […]

But then I’m writing along and BOOM—there’s something from my life on the page. Again. Without revealing any spoilers, I thought I’d share a few […]
Story Time
It’s inevitable: at the beginning of every month, I wonder, “How did it get to be [fill in name of month here] already? I am constantly marveling at (maybe more like lamenting) how fast time passes. I mean, summer just started, and now my kids start school next week? Or, harder still, my oldest was […]

When God Slams the Door + Giveaway
When I was in high school, my sights were set on earning a scholarship to law school. I had the grades for it. In my class, the competition was always for second place, because first place was mine. As the national exams approached, some of my teachers thought I would rank among the best students […]
Twenty-five and counting!
Last week I celebrated the release of my 25th book baby. I’m going to be honest, I didn’t realize it was book 25 until I counted all my books for something else I was working on. I just kind of sat there stunned, thinking I had miscounted. But another round of counting came up with […]
