With Thanksgiving almost here, it makes me think of all the things for which I am grateful, like all “the kids” in our family! This is a shot from the first Christmas with my daughter (all the way to the right in the red velvet and hiding behind a toy) and our youngest nephew (being held by his proud big brother).
They are all wonderful kids and I am so so happy that they are part of our family!
It’s been a trying few days. Monday was the ‪#‎BookBirthday‬ for the Take a Chance ‪#‎erotic‬ ‪#‎military‬ ‪#‎romance‬ ‪#‎boxset‬ only it was tough to celebrate since:
1. My laptop crashed.
2. My Ipod died.
3. I went home sick on Monday and slept nearly 36 hours straight except for when
4. The tree hit the deck and house (see the photo below!).
Wow, yes I am not kidding. All that in 72 hours. The good news, I’m feeling better and I have a Book Birthday to celebrate! The Take a Chance set includes Just One Night, One Special Night and One Last Night and it’s only 2.99 for all three novellas! I hope you’ll check it out!

Woo hoo, it is an exciting day! It’s the release day for the Take a Chance box set featuring Just One Night, One Special Night and One Last Night. Plus I’m just finishing up Stay the Night which should be out in early December! Unfortunately I had a laptop crash which slowed things down a little this weekend. 🙁
I hope you’ll take a moment to check out this box set. I have loved writing these stories and I hope you will enjoy reading them just as much!
I love Simon’s Cat and since my new little kitten greets me like this in the morning, I thought it was time to share this funny cat video for a change of pace!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
In 2010 I was working on a series involving ancient relics and it was set primarily in London. I also had another book to write with more scenes in London and since my daughter was doing a study abroad there, it seemed like the perfect time to go and do some research. Just a few problems. It was Easter time and little did we know that there were a lot of “bank holidays” which meant some of the train lines weren’t working. Also, the Queen wasn’t in residence at Buckingham Palace but at Windsor Castle which meant we could walk the grounds, but not see the inside of the castle. 🙁
Still, we had an amazing time and I got to take lots of pictures of prospective locations and visit some of the places I wanted to include in the books.
Here is a photo of me, my daughter and my hubby outside Windsor Castle.
If you’d like to see more photos, you can check out this album! There are nearly 200 photos there.
Family relationships can be both difficult and rewarding. It all depends on the people involved and the challenges they have been presented in life. Sometimes people are presented with challenges they handle in ways that harmful to the family relationship even though they think that what they’re doing is the right thing.
I had a situation in my life like that after my mom died. We really weren’t ready for it because she was so young and it happened so fast and the aftermath was hard in many ways. I coped with it as I could, trying to make things as right as I could for the people around me.
It took me a long time to realize that I hadn’t given myself the time I needed to grieve and that the people around me didn’t necessarily want or need what I had done to keep things on an even keel.
It was that kind of life challenge that inspired the relationship between Trevor and his father. I can’t really say what the “big event” in Trevor’s life was without spoiling a key revelation in ONE LAST NIGHT, but I will tell you that it was what led in large part to the path Trevor chooses to walk and his estrangement from his father.
Kind of heavy for a sexy kind of story, but for me the story is all about the emotion and romance. If that’s not there, all the sex in the world won’t make it right.
I guess I did something right. Here’s what Samantha H. had to say about ONE LAST NIGHT:
“Beautifully written love story. Trevor and Maggie’s book is one story that you must read. Their love story will make you laugh, cry, and fan yourself.”
It’s Veteran’s Day and I want to take a moment to thank all our military men, women and families for the sacrifices that they make on our behalf. God bless you and keep you safe.
In honor of Veteran’s Day, I’ll be participating in the Read, Write & Remember event on Facebook. Starting at 9 a.m. on November 11, 2014, and running through 9 p.m., a collaborative group of romance authors will be discussing why they write romances with military heroes and will share information about their books and special Veterans Day fundraising projects, as well as recognizing the non-profit organizations they support through financial donations and volunteerism. I will be with you at 2:30 to share my reasons for writing military romance and support our military.
I will be donating 100% of my proceeds from sales of ONE LAST NIGHT today to Hope for the Warriors, an organization that helps wounded military men, women and their families.
