Are You a Book Club Person?
Since I love to read so very much, you'd probably think that I'm a member of lots of book clubs. But I'm not. I used to try them, because I adore the idea of book clubs. I mean, what's not…
Down to the Wire
If you follow my Facebook page, you might have seen that I finally hit the end of my current manuscript. In the world of the Big Five publishers, and even some of the medium or smaller presses, that manuscript would…
A Pinch of Promise…it’s almost here!
I'm very excited that June is coming and, with it, A Pinch of Promise, the next book in the Taste of Romance series. I worked with my cover designer yesterday and I'm loving what we came up with - not…
