Love is worth the risk
Getting started on a new story—again—is never easy. I envisioned a story about Harry, the Magic Mouse for the Bluestocking Belles collection for October, Moonlight Madness. I could see my heroine seeking refuge (in a storm, of course) in a creepy house that belongs to a mysterious recluse with Harry in her pocket and no […]
And I see well. I just had a follow up appointment. Post cataract surgery, my vision is 20-20 without glasses. My goodness! And I see my yard full of flowers and flowering trees. (Oh joy!) and beds with encroaching weeds (rats). I see my old vegetable bed going to weed (and more rats). A light-bulb […]
I set a tight list of things to do last week and actually accomplished it all. Book three, Inconvenient Honor, has been loaded to Amazon so I will be able to distribute ARC copies this week and begin pre-order. Books 1 and 2 went live and I got most of my links for them updated. […]
…and hoping I don’t hit rocks. My to do list is a mile long and I’m on my second coffee. Two big things this week: 1. Keep Honor at Heart moving 2. Review my schedule for Book Lovers Con in Vegas and pack. Some small ones in real life, too, before I go away. Honor […]
March crept in like a lamb but it has been roaring like a lion for a week. Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, or, if your area is like mine, Happy Irish week! Parades, green everything and shenanigans. Much has been done lately and there is much to do. The final copy for Family Honor and A […]

There are many steps in producing a book; it is only finished when someone reads it. In order to read it, they have to find it. “Discovery” is the toughest phase of publishing, and it gets harder every year. How does someone find my books in the sea of historical romance books—some brilliant, some excellent, […]
What a week I had–and another hectic one is approaching. First the big news: Honor at Heart Book One, Family Honor, and Book Two, A Lady’s Honor are up for pre-order! They are on my website with their pre-order links. Family Honor is a novella, originally intended as a prequel to the series. It has […]
Another year; another new start. I spent yesterday taking a wide view of 2026 and 2027. My primary goal is to get my out of print books republished as the Honor at Heart series. I’m hoping to publish books one and two in March with another to follow every two months until (GULP) Mid-2027. Other […]
