Hop on over …
Last week, I shared the details of my writing process. This week, if you hop on over to Susie Haught’s place, she’ll tell you about hers. It’s hard to believe we’ve only known each other for three years. She really is one of my biggest supporters, always ready with...
Making my Fresh Fiction debut
Good morning! It is a very good morning, even if you’re waking to snow and subzero temperatures. If you are, please stay warm and dry. It’s not exactly warm here in northern Arizona, either. I’m in the mountains, not the Valley of the Sun, where 60 degrees is considered...
Did I mention …
I signed my first print autograph recently … and promptly spent the rest of the afternoon dancing in my seat. My coworkers probably thought I had ants in my pants. One of my coworkers bought a copy of DIVA IN THE DUGOUT and brought it to the office for...
Reviews are trickling in
I admit, I’ve been nervous about book reviews. Who wouldn’t be after reading the horror stories about authors who refuse to read their reviews … authors devastated by one-star—or, worse, no-star—reviews … Putting my books out there, in the world at large, wasn’t hard. I’ve wanted to be a writer,...

My call story and advice

Interrupting our regularly scheduled My Sexy Saturday post …
… For the news I’ve been waiting to share all week: My debut, DIVA IN THE DUGOUT is live. It’s been a whirlwind from getting the call in July to seeing my first book available for sale. I keep pinching myself, expecting to wake up and find the last...
My Sexy Saturday: DIVA’s big moment
Can you feel the excitement? I sure can. My debut romance, DIVA IN THE DUGOUT, will be up for sale at Turquoise Morning Press this week. To celebrate, this week’s My Sexy Saturday seven are from that story. (Yes, this time I’m using a snippet from the actual book,...
Big day for DIVA
My debut novel, DIVA IN THE DUGOUT, which comes out in less than a week, has its cover. Isn’t it a beauty? No, wait. That’s book two, BEAUTY AND THE BALLPLAYER, which is coming out next March. (Sorry. Couldn’t resist.) I love it! The stadium and baseball glove in the...
