Summer Fun Trip!

Last month I was fortunate enough to attend the Romance Writers of America conference in San Antonio, Texas. I had a great time meeting with friends, going to workshops and book-giveaways.

One thrill was participating in the Literacy book signing event on Wednesday night. My first signing at RWA!

My lovely roommate, Karen Rock.



On Friday night, my cover came across the screen at the Harlequin party. So glad Magnolia Bride  was a July release.

On Saturday, Harlequin featured the line I write for, Heartwarming. I was surprised to find a poster of my book on display. It even fit in suitcase so I could take it home!

I had a great time making new Heartwarming friends, visiting with my editor and seeing the sights of San Antonio.

Keep an eye out for my next Heartwarming release, Honeysuckle Bride, December 2014.

New Harlequin Heartwarming Release

Today I am celebrating the release of my newest Heartwarming book, Magnolia Bride.

Married for a day, in love for life 
 

Nealy Grainger knew that returning to Cypress Pointe meant an inevitable encounter with her teenage crush, and momentary husband, Dane Peterson. She could handle it. She wasn't the wounded girl who'd left Cypress Pointe years ago, heartbroken and furious when Dane had annulled their marriage the day after they'd eloped.

Now one of L.A.'s most in-demand celebrity event planners, Nealy's only come back for a vacation and to help with her sister's wedding—not for a reunion with her long-lost love. But the more their paths cross, the more the sparks fly! Maybe their connection isn't over just yet...

I hoe you enjoy Nealy and Dane's journey to rekindling their first love. Drop me  line and let me know what you think!

Happy 2014!

Already this year is moving along and it just started! I'm excited about the projects scheduled for this year, so here's a look ahead.

June 2014

Rival Hearts  Quilts of Love 

They both want the promotion. But will they find out that it is worth the cost?

Molly Henderson and Ben Weaver have been rival magazine writers for the same publishing group for years. When both come up for the same promotion, they find themselves in an unexpected competition to win the spot. Molly, editor of Quilter’s Heart, and Ben, editor of Outdoor Adventures, must switch roles, each working for the other for one month, then submit an article at the end of their quests.

Can girly-girl Molly survive the outdoor adventures that Ben has planned? Can Ben navigate the perils of the social dynamics of quilting events without destroying a valuable quilt in one short month? More importantly, in this he-said, she-said situation, will Molly and Ben give in to their attraction and fall in love, no matter who wins?


I had a blast writing this book! Hope you have as much fun reading it!


Magnolia Bride- Harlequin Heartwarming
July 2014 

Another book set in Cypress Pointe, featuring high school sweethearts Nealy Grainger and Dane Peterson. Although they were married for a very, very short time, can they deny the blaze of love still burning bright? 

Haven't recieved a cover yet, but I will post it once it's available.

Right now I'm currently working on book #3 set in Cypress Pointe. Let's just say the love story between Jenna and Wyatt is not going to be easy! But then, we wouldn't have it any other way!

Thanks so much to all of the readers of my books. I so appreciate you taking the time to enter my world. 

Enjoy 2014! May it be happy and prosperous!
