Coming soon...


His Wild West Wife will be released February first. 

Central Kansas, 1883

Chicago lawyer Blake Barlow has tracked his runaway wife all the way to the middle of nowhere. If she wants a divorce, he'll grant her one—as soon as she tells him why she left.

Clara Johnson is angry. Blake betrayed her mere weeks after exchanging vows—but when he rides up to her family farm, it's to get her signature, not to beg for forgiveness.

Clara and Blake agree their brief marriage was an impulsive mistake—but that doesn't stop the passion between them from flaring as hot as ever...

The holidays are over, and now we enter the deep freeze of the winter months. It’s the time of year for blankets on the couch to snuggle under and slippers near the door. It’s also wonderful writing time, and I’m happy to say my latest manuscript, The Wrong Cowboy, has been sent off to my editor. Of course I’ve started on the next one and I’ve created the outline for the one after that. I love having deadlines; they keep me focused to stay on track. I’m also preparing to teach a course in writing for my local community education program, which promises to be a lot of fun, and have made the time to catch up on reading some of the wonderful books I'd downloaded to my Kindle. 

Lots of other things going on, too. Birthdays, sleep-overs, gymnastic meets, yoga classes, library events. It’s all good, and we express our thankfulness every day.  

Stay happy, stay focused.

Tea Party



Oldest granddaughter will turn six on the 23rd of this month. Yes, a Christmas gift we treasure all year long. She had a princess tea party today where fourteen little girls had a glorious time, and each took home their very own china tea cup and saucer. (This picture was taken a few weeks ago by a photographer.) After her friends left, extended family arrived and we had a second birthday party. This weekend will also include her first gymnastic meet tomorrow. Life just gets busier and busier the older the granddaughters get, and more wonderful. 

Last weekend we put the tree up, with help from the granddaughters so the bottom is more heavily decorated than the top, and it looks absolutely perfect. I also spent a day preparing the Mustang for storage, and afterwards, I needed to give my winter car some TLC. She needed a good cleaning after sitting for so many months. I love driving the Mustang, but have to admit, the Grand Am has seats that are much more comfortable. She is also a bit easier on gas, and I’m extremely thankful for how my husband keeps her on the road for me. 

I received another cover this week! His Wild West Wife will be released in February from HQN UNDONE. I’m turning the corner toward THE END on my latest manuscript. The heroine is a mail order bride with six kids in tow, and hero is, well, he’s the wrong cowboy. 

The holidays are approaching fast, and I hope you are each finding the time to savor the season. Make memories, and create a new tradition for the next generation. They’ll appreciate it.
