To the lighthouse —view from Chincoteague
Don’t you love lighthouses? The #Assateague light features shines over two scenes in my new #sweetromance FEARLESS SUMMER, published this week by @chanpagnebooks. @AssateagueNPS
Chincoteague: Where the ponies are
“ I want you to say to me, ‘Willa, I’ve decided to take your advice and go see what my sisters are cooking up.’ Visit your sisters and your parents. Hug your nephews and see the ponies.”
Charlotte’s friend paused for effect. “It can’t hurt. Can it?”
Yes, of course it could. Henry was there with what’s-her-name and their child. I’d avoided such a meeting for eight years.
FEARLESS SUMMER: My new book is out now!
When NASA’s Wallops Island with it wide open field dotted with impressive satellite dishes appeared on my left, I felt a twinge deep in my belly. It grew stronger as I started across the causeway to Chincoteague Island. That’s how Chapter Three of FEARLESS SUMMER brings Charlotte home to Chincoteague. Seeing the facility that launches…
Another day in Chincoteague.
As I celebrate the arrival tomorrow of my new book FEARLESS SUMMER: RETURN TO CHINCOTEAGUE, I’m sharing a few photos that have served as my inspiration as I wrote this super sweet romance. It’s a small town on a barrier island though the population swells significantly during beach season. Couples and families like to pose…

The days just before a book launch are full of anticipation. How will readers like my book? Will they even buy it?

Springtime for romance
What are you reading on these fine spring days? I’ve been having the best time, sighing and laughing as I make my way through some of the best romances I’ve read in a long time. I binged on Bridgerton—you’ve heard of the Netflix/Shondaland series, right?—and then sat down with all of Julia Quinn‘s books upon…
Query sent
Reena and Paul have been part of my daily routine for a long time. I don’t remember when I first started setting down their story but it’s been at least a year or more since I first met them in my imagination. Today, I had to say good-bye. It wasn’t tearful. I sent their story…
