On the Road Again

I’m off to visit Texas and a good friend. We will talk and talk, mostly about books, as we’ve been doing for 65 years. (Really) Consequently I won’t be back to put up a Coffee posting next Monday. I’m leaving things in good shape. Honor at Heart,  Book Four, Tattered Honor is up for pre-order. I will […]

Deadlines

Pushing forward day after day, as many words as you can eke out, is sometimes what it takes to get a story finished. It doesn’t always flow like water. Some of you know I’ve been struggling the past month. Step by step, pushing myself along, I finished a rough draft of “Not Again, Harry,” for […]

Riding a Wave

…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 […]

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, […]

Progress On All Fronts

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 Beginning

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 […]
