As with us all, I’m sure many of your plans for 2020 have changed over the last few months. When the year began, I set a slightly crazy goal for myself. I wanted to write two new books, publish one (in the works for this October!), get a contract on at least one more, and […]
Forever Music Book Trailer
My fourth novel, Forever Music, is set to be released on May 19th. Here’s the cover by Diane Cretsinger Turpin. It’s beautiful, don’t you think? It’s reminiscent of the cover of Irish Encounter, my first novel. I’m revealing the book trailer […]
A Chocolate and Roses Kind of Day?
Valentine’s Day. It turns social media feeds into a monochromatic rainbow with every shade of red. People share their love stories as if they’re fairy tale dreams come true. Romantic gestures, from dinners out to theatrical wedding proposals, fill every feed. Images of baby Yoda are replaced with chocolates, wine, and roses. And if baby […]
Romance? Yes, Please!
I didn’t marry my high school sweetheart. I didn’t have one. I didn’t marry my college sweetheart either, for the same reason. I was well into being a single sophisticate, or so I thought, when I met my future husband. I remember the night well–where we were, what I was wearing, how I flirted with […]

My husband and I started dating on February 7th, so we almost always have our date on that day instead of on the busier night of the 14th. Being a romance author, I […]
Ripping Out the Seams
One of the first rules of sewing my mom taught me was how to use a seam ripper. It seems backwards, doesn’t it? Learning how to undo a seam instead of put one in. But it has come in handy time and time again, especially when learning how to do a zipper. If you don’t […]
A Bit of a Shock
Touch is a powerful tool. Especially in romance novels, we all wait with bated breath for the first time the hero and heroine accidentally bump into each other, the first time their hands meet, the first time they kiss. When written well, the descriptions of these events leave us slightly breathless, our heart rate up, […]
Where Do You Write?
I love watching people. I’m fascinated by them. That’s why I can’t write in public. I’ve tried. I love coffee shops and college libraries, but I get distracted and don’t reach my word count. If I’m collecting characteristics for personality types, fine. If I’m writing a rough draft, nope. I like to write in my […]
