As the east coast awaits more storms, the west coast is sweltering. Well, my part of the state, anyway. So, hubby and I took off for the beach. Here’s a fact: the temperature dropped 40-degrees–honestly– in ten miles once we hit the downward slope of the coastal range. Amazing. Fog enshrouded Morro Rock completely. The […]

After months of calling the next book in the Spotlight on Sentinel Pass series “Mac’s story”, I have a new title: PICTURE PERFECT MOM.
Big change from Mac’s story, right? Well, Mac is the older brother of Libby (heroine of BABY BY CONTRACT). A widower with a young daughter. A miner. A go-to guy, but kinda […]

Thanks, everyone–especially Minna–for the travel advice. I remember seeing the adage: “‘Never pass up a potty’ somewhere, and, boy, did it strike a chord.
Here’s my unscientific way of picking a contest winner: write all the names on paper, cut into squares, shake in hands and toss into the air. The ones that […]

The Harlequin home offices in Toronto, I mean.
It was brought to my attention at the last RWA conference that I have been a Harlequin author for nine years and have yet to visit the corporate offices in Canada.

Yesterday we took our maiden cruise in my hubby’s new toy…a 1961 Jaguar MKIX Saloon named Martin. Isn’t he a doll? The car, not my hubby. Although Paul’s pretty cute, too, I think.

Paul’s been working on the car for several months. I try […]

I love these numbers. Best wishes to all the people who are getting married today. And happy birthday to my friend Holly Jacobs Holly She’s so much fun to hang with at a party. And she’s an awesome writer, too.
And today is the opening of the Summer Olympics. It feels more real to […]

A reader on another thread just clued me in that LOVE, BY GEORGE was being released in the UK under a different title name.
Really?
What is it?
THEIR JOINED-UP FAMILY
You’re kidding.
Nope. Here’s the link. Superromance UK
Very interesting, I think. Maybe you’re not allowed to use the name of a past monarch in your romance novels. Especially […]

You were all right: I needed to go to RWA-San Francisco and I had a great time. And the air was clean and the sky was bright blue!!! That alone was heaven.
And I got to hang out with my old friends!!! Here are two shots from breakfast one morning. The first includes […]
