Back in 2017 a group of contemporary Christian romance authors started working on a group project with a difference. ‘A Tuscan Legacy’ was created by Marion Ueckermann and Autumn Macarthur. I was delighted to have the opportunity to join them and Elizabeth Maddrey, Alexa Verde, Heather Gray and Clare Revell on their writing journey with […]
FALL IN LOVE IN AFRICA #giveaway
Last weekend, I discovered that Netflix has a new movie releasing November 1st. I can’t wait! Holiday in the Wild looks like such a fun movie, and it’s set right here in Africa… actually, in the land of my birth, Zambia. To be honest though, when my son told me it had orphaned elephants, the […]
Of Babes and Book Babies (plus cover reveal)
We all love babies, don’t we? And the anticipation of their arrival… Two weeks ago, we had my daughter-in-law’s baby shower. It was wonderful and I was able to hand over the myriads of pink and frilly clothes I’d been buying for months…from the day after we found out that we’d be blessed with our […]
Chapel Cove is growing (#giveaway)
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 […]
