The Writer’s Life

So my new book is coming out and while those in the book club may have already received their November shipment, the rest of the world has to wait until A MAN WORTH LOVING hits the shelves the second week in November. And because I’m excited about the release of this new book, I thought [...]

A new cover is always cause for celebration, especially when it’s been a stretch since the last one came around, which is certainly the case with this one.
My sixth book will hit the shelves in July (it seems so far away at this point) but I’m very excited about this book. This story features the [...]

Okay, so technically only one is a baby but my boys are still my babies in my heart even if they tower over me at this point. We took our annual Christmas pictures on Sunday and as usual, my boys groaned and complained through the entire shoot but I managed to catch a few shots [...]

You’re never going to guess where my younger sister, Kristen, is at this very moment. If you guessed anywhere in the United States you’d be wrong. My sis is currently in Kitale, Kenya. Yes. You read that right. Africa. Pardon my mouth as I say, “Holy crap!”
You see my sis is the antithesis of me [...]

So, it’s time to name a winner. And you know what’s cool? I have another giveaway after this one because my next book is coming out soon and it’s just put me in a jolly, generous mood! Drumroll, please!
The winner of last week’s blog is: Jeannie Watt!
No joke! And this isn’t a rigged contest, I [...]

Where to start…first off, surgery went well. I am now one less organ but thankfully, it’s one that I can live without.

Tomorrow I go under the surgeon’s knife to have my gall bladder taken out. You see, I’ve been having terrible gall bladder attacks that are quite painful and a sonogram revealed my gall bladder full of gravel. Note how I said gravel, not stones. Yep. I’ve been carrying around a pocketful of calcified bits of [...]

I know what you’re thinking…two posts in one day? Certainly that’s a sign of the coming Apocalypse but no, just one silly writer who has started making lists on her Post It notes in some semblance of organization trying to get things done.
Anyway, loved this pic. That’s my Honey Bunches with her [...]

So I had a helper pick the lucky winner of my blind contest winner and you’ll swear there was some cheating going on but I swear to you it was all very fair and my other editor Marg was the lucky poster!
What did she win?? Well, I decided to give away a copy of my [...]

Right before I was going to bed last night I decided to check Amazon.com for something and lo and behold! My new cover was available! Had to share. It’s so lovely and the art department did a great job with Annabelle and Honey. Dean is supposed to be in his early 40s but hey, everything [...]
