My Sexy Saturday: Back in the swing of things

RWA14 was a blast—not that I doubted it would be. For me, it was a true road trip. Two of my chapter mates and I carpooled from Flagstaff to San Antonio (more on that soon). I caught up with friends old and new, and learned so much from the...

Think it couldn’t happen here? Think again

Complete strangers getting married the first time they meet? Sounds crazy, right? There’s no way it would happen in real life. Umm … think again. Turns out the premise of BLIND DATE BRIDE isn’t so far-fetched after all. It was just years ahead of its time. When I came...

Party time!

I’m celebrating the release of BLIND DATE BRIDE with a Goodreads giveaway. Three print copies of the book are up for grabs. The giveaway ends July 10 and is open to readers in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. (Expanding my reach this time around …) Goodreads...

Confessions of a reality TV junkie

I have a confession: I love reality TV. Well, not all reality TV. I’ve never watched a full episode of “Big Brother” or “The Amazing Race”—and I quit watching “Survivor” several years ago, about the time the networks decided to make me choose between it and “Grey’s Anatomy.” But...

Let the blog tour begin

To celebrate the release of my third book, SLIDING INTO HOME, I’m embarking on my first blog tour. I’ve enlisted the wonderful Alex Rosa of Wanderlust Book Tours to run it and keep me organized—no small feat, let me tell you. Somehow the gal who used to turn in...

The cellphone is insidious

Cellphone is one word now—at least according to the Associated Press. And since AP style is drilled into my head at the day job, one word it shall stay, even if it drives me up the wall. The AP also recently changed style on under way. After two decades...

What happens in Vegas stays there, right?

Not when it’s your first visit to Olympic Garden and you have a snap-happy roommate. No, seriously. I didn’t mind her taking photos, because I was having fun—and I looked fantastic. That was me nine years and about a hundred pounds ago. (Side note: I really need to go...

Where to find Sliding Into Home

Please allow me to present my newest book baby, Sliding into Home Ta-da! This is Book 3 in my All Is Fair In Love and Baseball series, and it tackles Arizona Condors first baseman Greg Bartlesby’s story. (You knew there had to be a good reason for his run-in...

Guest posting at JCR today

It’s a lot like life … And if that doesn’t set you to humming Depeche Mode’s “Master and Servant” … you’re not as big a fan of that group as I am. My parents didn’t have cable until I went to college (and even then no MTV), so I...

My Sexy Saturday: Beauty’s release

Isn’t “Beauty’s Release” the title of an Anne Rice book? Haven’t read it, but I was in high school when I first heard of it. I remember being intrigued by the mere idea of her Sleeping Beauty Trilogy, written under the pen name A.N. Roquelaure. I’d just read—and fallen...
