Love is worth the risk
This week I have reading to do. When my friends and I (aka The Bluestocking Belles) prepare a collection we work at intertwined stories. While each of us writes her own story with its own hero and heroine’s journey, our characters always meet up at at least one shared event and often wander in and […]
The sun is so bright today I would almost think it was spring if more ice and snow weren’t forecasted for later this week. I am more or less on schedule for this month! I finished my promo tour for Snowed by the Wallflower on Friday–weary and suspecting at least some readers were tired of […]
Such a week I had—many visits to visit the readers of my fellow authors, much to post, posts to friends’ blogs, prizes to award, chatting to be done. All of this was in celebration of Snowed by the Wallflower which danced into the world last Tuesday. Yea and hurray! It feels good to have a […]
Too much, too fast! I didn’t expect baby steps to lead to zooming quite so fast. The big issue is all the promotion needed for a new book. There is no point in writing them, if no one reads them, right? I’ve been on three web blogs and more Facebook groups that I care to […]
I hit a bump in the road last week, Greg’s one year death anniversary. It was a speed bump for sure, but I was productive. In real life I cleaned out kitchen cupboards, packed up my old dishes for the Greendrop folks, and bought a new set. The old China wasn’t microwave safe. Here at […]
We had a glorious Easter—Alleluias, soaring music, sunshine, flowers, and warmth. I was reminded, though, that in order to have Easter, you must have Good Friday first. As CS Lewis famously said, “The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That is the deal.” My readers are probably aware this has been […]
Snowed by the Wallflower, my contribution to Revenge of the Wallflowers is now up for pre-order. I feel like I’m waking up. Belinda Westcott doesn’t want to injure the Earl of Ridgemont. She merely wants to humiliate him. After all, one good prank deserves a payback. How could she anticipate that it would go so […]
Gemma, misunderstanding something Jeff said and desperate to see him in the face of her family’s interference, set out on foot for Regent’s Park at dawn. Luckily servants alerted Jeff and they came upon her just as a sneak thief took her reticule and knocked her in the gutter, and before he could do further […]
I had the good pleasure to spend last week with a good friend. We attended that most American event, a baseball game. Beer and hotdogs were had. She’s a terrific gardener, and mine is better off for her visit. We also had some tense moments when Beloved bumped his head and spent one day in […]
We have new books to celebrate. While I have been absent from this blog, Duke in Name Only went live and got some much deserved attention on Facebook. The early reviews are terrific. This is an exciting story filled with adventure, danger, discovery, and romance…that holds your attention start to finish with a happy ending […]
