Harlequin Authors Stand Up To Bullying

September is Anti-Bullying Month! Harlequin Books has made this a campaign to involve authors and raise awareness of this problem. It’s a fact of life that bullying touches almost everyone at some point, and for some it’s a terrifying reality of their daily life. That’s ridiculous, but for kids who are bullied life can be…

Who LOVES V-Day?

Valentine’s Day is not everyone’s favorite holiday but it’s not a bad holiday. It’s never been MY favorite holiday but here’s 3 quick reasons why it’s great: • It’s a day focused on expressing love. Is that such a bad thing to do? • LOVE doesn’t have to be to a partner. This year my…

Halloween: most romantic time of the year!

RWA in HOTlanta!

I think I’m finally rested up from the Romance Writers of America (RWA) Conference in Atlanta, Georgia a week+ ago. It was amazing! There were so many workshops and over 2,000 writers/agents/editors there. It’s a whirlwind of seeing friends I only see in person at these events, along with the nonstop activities RWA puts together….

In the works..

As the summer heats up (it’s only June!) so does the hectic pace of books to read (BTR) as well as books to write and vacations to take. This summer, I have been blessed many times over — first with the May release of The Texan’s Contract Marriage and then in August the release of…
