Company We Keep
Gustavo, who graces my cover and makes me happy every time I look at him. While I might dream about being in the company of some of my models (just for fun, mind you), like the gentleman here, my writing…
Plus Sized Girl Meets Man Of Her Dreams!
I loved writing SEAL Love's Legacy. It's been a trope I've wanted to write for some time: older guy, who is insecure about how strong he is after 20 years in the military, and comes up against a rather plain…
There’s That Rain Again
I've been blessed with two adventures to warm country: one to Hawaii in December and one to Florida and the Caribbean this month. And now I come back to the rain. The trade-off is that I enjoyed myself, spending much-needed…
New Year: Do You or Don’t You?
Are you one of those people who buys about ten planners and by the end of February, hasn't kept up with any of them? That's me. I've started the New Year super organized, and started the New Year haphazardly, and…

Ghost Stories by Campfire
Every time I walk outside and smell the firepits burning around the KOA, I'm reminded of those nights at camp when we told ghost stories that made us practically pee our pajamas. These were stories so horrible, no one dared…
Overwhelmed
I thought life after (well I'm not telling now because someone said I should stop talking about it) was supposed to slow down when you're semi-retired. OK, retired. Not if you're a writer. I'm sitting here in the Admiral's Club…
Campfire Stories
I'm learning to adjust to the Glamping thing. Our coach is everything I'd hoped it would be. Coming from a large two-story home on acreage, where I had my own bedroom, now sharing a bed with my husband and usually…
