There’s a new doctor in town, and Chapel Cove is growing. So is Choose Me, book 4 in the Chapel Cove romances. When I first started writing this story way too many weeks ago for my liking, I wondered if I’d manage to get a 35K novella out of my ideas. Well, my characters had […]
My Big Fat Greek Reception
Last month I blogged about My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and I promised you I’d get to the fun part in this blog. But instead of titling my post My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, I thought My Big Fat Greek Reception was more appropriate. So, picking up where I left off, after the bride […]
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Well, not MY big, fat, Greek wedding, but the first Greek wedding I’ve attended… That happened on Saturday when the daughter of my husband’s cousin got married. It was fun, fun, fun! Today, I want to tell you all about it. The morning started off with a frantic dash to town for hubby and me. […]
Love sees with the heart
In reader groups, I’ve seen many readers complain that there are very few romances with less-than-model-perfect heroes and heroines. I’ve written a romance with a plus-sized heroine (Teapots & Tiaras), a highly unconventional heroine with a stuffy upper-class hero (Least Expected), an eighty-something heroine (Innamorata), and a couple of stories where the heroine needs a […]
When life begins at forty… #giveaway
Way back in September 2000, I turned forty with a bash! Surrounded by family and close friends, I hosted a fun “Color Me Forty” party. I donned my brightest, most colorful blouse, and we had a lamb roasting on the spit while we sat outside under our large willow tree drinking brightly colored sodas, playing […]
Pheromones — Good or Bad? #giveaway
We’ve all heard about the fascinating chemical secreted by animals (and humans too). Pheromones act as a signal to attract males and females to each other, and as romance readers, we’ve seen them at work between the pages of the love stories we so enjoy. But pheromones don’t only induce feelings of love and flitting […]
SETTING SAIL #giveaway
I love boxed sets and have been a part of a dozen sets, excluding my own two, during the past 3½ years. But over the past 12 months or so, I’ve been somewhat relieved when the sets have come to an end. You’re probably wondering why, so I’ll fill you in. About a year ago, Amazon […]
Recovering Hope (and pass the tissues) ~ #3xgiveaway
Six months ago I blogged on Hope, Redemption, and Second Chances. I wrote about the new Potter’s House multi-author series I was part of and my first book in the series, Restoring Faith. Two weeks ago I released my second book in this series (which is book 14 in The Potter’s House Books as there […]
To hear, or not to hear (that is the question)
About this time last year, I ventured out to produce my first audiobook. A Match for Magnolia, Book 1 of my Seven Suitors for Seven Sisters, was the story I chose for this endeavor. I first looked into the options of producing myself, then having the book produced, then using ACX.com to produce. Weighing up […]
A Sticky Mess
Last month, when hubby and I visited my son in Cape Town, we wanted to bring a little something back for our grandsons. As we strolled through the flea market on the Saturday morning, we spotted a stall that caught our attention. Gloop! The boys would love that sticky, gooey mess. We added our choices […]
