On the eighth day of Christmas… Instead of counting the official twelve days of Christmas, I’m counting down the twelve days before Christmas to offer my gratitude for the people and things that make the writing life possible for me. Today it’s social media. In truth, in many ways, I don’t like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, blogs, and…
Even though it’s complicated, a little wonky to use, and though it has more features than I need, I like what I get out of Scrivener.
And that is….order.
I’m grateful for @NaNoWriMo and all the support writers give one another to get to their goals. It’s a great way to reach your goal of becoming a novelist.
On the third day of Christmas… I realize those twelve days are supposed to run between December 25 and Epiphany, Jan. 6, but I want to take these twelve days before Christmas to offer my gratitude for the people and things that make the writing life possible for me. I never belonged to a book…
THE LAST GIFT, now in paperback, attracted a nice bit of attention on Nov. 26, for its launch at The Greyhound, an indie bookstore in Berlin, Md. I am grateful to Susan and the staff at this charming little shop who love books in “America’s Coolest Small Town” for inviting me to bring this and…
I gobbled up three books recently—while reading the Bridgerton collection, I might add—and I have to recommend them all with many, many stars. One is set during the Cold War.

My first paperback copies of THE LAST GIFT have arrived at The Greyhound, an indie bookstore in Berlin, Md. At the owner’s request, I’ve signed them all. The Greyhound has been a good friend to my books. All of them are on the shelves there. I’ve launched two of my books there—and will launch my…
I’m thrilled to announce that my latest PG-rated modern love story, THE LAST GIFT, is now available in paperback. THE LAST GIFT was inspired by my very real vacation on a sailing ship that cruised the Dalmatian Coast. That is, I learned, the mountainous region of Croatia and Montenegro, an ancient land brimming with romance.…
I am thrilled to be among the romance writers who offered recipes and tories for this cookbook, LOVE IN THE MIX, but I’m proud to have one of my family’s favorite Sunday dinner recipes included—along with the likes of Kristan Higgins, Beverly Jenkins, Susan Wiggs…so many of my favorite authors. I just read Piper Huguley’s…
I had the option of talking about my writing style and habits with Betty—but Donna insisted she wanted to be the star of this blogpost. Donna is a bit headstrong and ambitious so I moved over so she could answer Betty’s questions.
