RWA14 was a blast—not that I doubted it would be. For me, it was a true road trip. Two of my chapter mates and I carpooled from Flagstaff to San Antonio (more on that soon). I caught up with friends old and new, and learned so much from the workshop Read more…
Complete strangers getting married the first time they meet? Sounds crazy, right? There’s no way it would happen in real life. Umm … think again. Turns out the premise of BLIND DATE BRIDE isn’t so far-fetched after all. It was just years ahead of its time. When I came up Read more…

Please allow me to present my newest book baby, Sliding into Home Ta-da! This is Book 3 in my All Is Fair In Love and Baseball series, and it tackles Arizona Condors first baseman Greg Bartlesby’s story. (You knew there had to be a good reason for his run-in with Read more…
It’s a lot like life … And if that doesn’t set you to humming Depeche Mode’s “Master and Servant” … you’re not as big a fan of that group as I am. My parents didn’t have cable until I went to college (and even then no MTV), so I didn’t Read more…
