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 was running late. My first event of the book tour for INN BY THE LAKE, set for Swallow Falls State Park on Friday afternoon, and I wasn’t going to make it on time. I could tell as soon as I got near the entrance it was a busy day at this gorgeous state park.…
I’m packed. Nervous. Excited. Worried. I leave on my Deep Creek Lake book tour in half an hour. There are books and books and books, plus signs, business cards, and posters of INN BY THE LAKE. Taking my book back to the place that inspired it is just about the most exciting development I could…
Brenda Ruggiero of the Garrett County Republican has written a lovely story about my upcoming visit to the Deep Creek Area. I’m looking forward to my visit to Garrett County where a lot of INN BY THE LAKE takes place. Ms. Ruggiero included all three of my locations, including the Deep Creek Lavender Farm, whose…
A faint hint of her floral fragrance hung in the air. He could still hear the ring of her laughter as she talked about Swallow Falls. He was happy she enjoyed the park as much as he did. —From INN BY THE LAKE Swallow Falls State Park, a must-see whenever my family and I visit…
