As promised, I’m sharing some photos with you! It was so much fun getting to meet some of you at the conference. I really appreciate you coming by to talk with me and share some time.
To me, that’s the best thing about being a writer – getting to meet you! So here are those photos, including some with those of you who were so kind to drop by.
To celebrate my birthday and the release of NOCTURNAL WHISPERS  and THE VAMPIRE’S CONSORT, I’m having a contest from March 7 to March 31. Stop by every day until March 31 for a chance to win a handmade memory box, copies of THE LOST, SINS OF THE FLESH and STRONGER THAN SIN, a LOST polo shirt, tote bag and other swag.
I’ve heard from those of you who don’t do Twitter or Facebook and I’ve created a number of other options that you can use to earn points toward the contest entries! You can answer some questions or leave reviews to earn points.
Here’s some pictures of the memory box for you! I made this with an old cigar box, beads and an assortment of shells, many of which I found along the Jersey Shore. The two pictures on the memory box are ones I took of locations that appear in THE LOST and THE CLAIMED paranormal romances.
I totally respect your privacy and any and all information gathered for entry into the contest will not be shared or divulged to any third party. You will not be automatically added to my newsletter signup by entering this contest. If you do wish to receive my newsletter, you can sign up here:

I was recently at a conference in Philadelphia and wanted to share some photos with you. I had a nice time meeting both old and new friends and Philly was so much fun. The hotel was in Center City and the weather was great, so it was not a problem walking around. We were able to share the city with friends who had never been there before which was cool. I love Philly. It’s a great city.
I promised you some photos from this year’s flower show and here they are. Just a few of my favorites which might make a nice wallpaper for you and get feeling like spring is almost here! To see the rest – almost 200 of them – you can click here or visit my Facebook Fan Page!
Hope you enjoyed this taste of spring and have a great weekend!
As you may recall, I was hard at work last week at the RT BookReviews Convention. Met lots of friends and fellow authors. I want to thank all of you who came to visit during the conference and at the book fair. It was awesome to get to meet you face-to-face.
If you haven’t been to RT, it’s quite an event. Dozens of wonderful panels as well as some great balls and mixers. It’s in Los Angeles next year and I’m already excited about going.
We took a lovely train ride out to Windsor to see Windsor Castle and the quaint town nearby, also the home to Eton, the exclusive school. Weather was a bit dreary, but not too cold. Unfortunately, Her Majesty was in residence which meant we could go on the castle grounds for free, but were unable to get into any of her “apartments.” Major bummer as I was dying to see the various bedrooms, kitchens, dining areas, etc. that we had seen on the PBS special about a year in the life of Windsor Castle.
Nevertheless, we were able to walk around all the grounds and see St. George’s Chapel. The guards were patrolling all over the area and are quite attractive in their bright red coats and furry hats. Real guns — no one will mess with them.
The gardens and areas in and around Windsor Castle are lovely. Well-kept and so green thanks to the spring rains. If you see the picture of the entrance to the Moat Path in the slide show below, it is now the entrance to the gardens that have replaced the moat.
We then headed to town where we had fish and chips in a delightful pub and walked around town before returning to London. The train ride was nice and it was a good way to also get a glimpse of the suburbs and countryside around London.
