Well, look no farther! (Or is it further? Hmm …) My editor shared a fascinating story with me … Ryan, Moody’s production guy, is that manly man. In his mid-40s, he’s so manly he doesn’t read books–he prints them. But since that’s his job, he gets the first box of every new title. When he […]
Read the First Page of The Familiar Stranger!
And perhaps win a copy as well! Lena Nelson Dooley posted a FUN interview we did together. Please come check it out. If this is ANY indication of how cool my blog tour will be, which officially kicks off on the release date of 9/1 and ends on Halloween, I’m going to love it!
Holding the First Copy of My Debut Book!
Late Friday afternoon I was readying for a local parade, and planning to go bowling and karaoking after. It’s been so busy with The Familiar Stranger‘s release around the corner, a UPS guy dropping off copies, the cat–Wait?!? Dropping off copies!! Yes! I have now held my first book in my hands!!! 🙂 At 4:30, […]
Twelve Days to Go!!!
Less than two weeks … I was sprawled on a beach blanket today at the Oregon Coast (Rockaway Beach) pondering the fast approaching release date and how having a book out will change my life. And then I realized– I could be at the same beach in twelve days and absolutely no one will care […]
Her Inheritance Forever
A few weeks ago, Lyn Cote hosted me on her blog. It’s only fair to return the favor to discuss her August release, Her Inheritance Forever (Avon Inspire). What a beautiful cover. Here’s a little bit about the book: In 1836 Texas, Alandra Sandoval is determined to run her ranchowithout a man. Scully Falconer is […]

Is Camy Tang Deliciously Scary?
I’ve read every book by Camy and enjoy her lighthearted style as she deals with the issue of singleness and following God’s path in your relationships. (And all the yummy Asian food she writes about.) Deadly Intent, her newest, is somewhat of a departure from her usual writing by moving firmly into the romantic suspense […]
Single Mom’s Success Story
I was scared, sick, and feeling sorry for myself. But I did it anyway! At the beginning of summer, I signed the kids up for the county library’s reading program. One of the many, many benefits was free tickets to a Timbers game for the kids and a reduced price for accompanying adults. Turned out […]

Take a Deep Breath
I can’t remember the last time I didn’t feel behind … the last time I didn’t need to run faster, stay up later, get more done, prioritize better. Just like that commercial where the digital images stay frozen in someone’s camera, mine stay frozen on my hard drive, calling out to be labeled, cropped or […]
