At the end of last year, I decided to challenge myself to write a ten book series. Before then, the longest series I’d ever written had been four books. Most romance authors have several series going at once, and go back and forth between books, but I like to write the first drafts of a series all in a row, which meant writing ten books in a row. That’s a lot of books. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do it. But yesterday, I wrote THE END on book number ten. I started book one mid-January. Finished book ten at the beginning of September. That’s ten books in nine months. Part of me can’t quite believe it. …

Happy July! I feel weird saying that because those of us who live in Phoenix are not happy with the long string of days with temps in the 110-115 range. Ugh. I know other states and places around the world are also dealing with heat waves, too. The one time of the year I don’t love living in the Valley of the Sun is the summer. Maybe at some point in the future I’ll rent a place with cooler temperatures during the hot months so I can get not feel like I’m dying whenever I go outside. That would be lovely. On to writing updates! Right now, I’m on draft one of book EIGHT of a ten book series set …

Today Don’t Lose Hope, the third book in my series, Tucson Is Where the Heart Is, comes out! I’m so excited and can’t wait for everyone to read about Hope finding her soul mate. Don’t Lose Hope is available for purchase in ebook and paperback on Amazon here. Just like I’ve done with the two other books in the series, Follow Your Bliss and Attract Good Karma, I’m going to share some fun facts about Don’t Lose Hope. Fun Fact #1 I used a sensitivity reader for the first time with this book. Hope, the heroine, is disabled and uses a wheelchair to get around. I’ve never had any experience with disability or being in a wheelchair, so I made …

I am so excited for today’s post! It’s time for the cover reveal and the announcement of the publication date of book number three in my Tucson Is Where the Heart Is series. Here is the gorgeous cover of Don’t Lose Hope. Isn’t it beautiful? I love it so much! I think it might be my favorite cover out of all three books, shockingly. At first, I thought the cover of Attract Good Karma was my favorite because it has a purple theme, and I adore purple. But something about the way the pinks and the turquoise and the greens meld together in the Don’t Lose Hope cover just takes my breath away. But enough about the cover! What’s the …

Well, here we are on April 19th, almost two weeks after the release day of book two in Tucson Is Where the Heart Is, Attract Good Karma. You might be wondering what happened, so I’ll tell you: I hired a fabulous website designer, Jessica Lepe of Meet Cute Creative, and didn’t even think about the fact that my website would be inaccessible for a while as she worked her magic and that it would be down on the release day of Attract Good Karma. The good news is I absolutely LOVE my website makeover. It’s everything I ever wanted in an author website. The bad news is I didn’t get to post on release day, but better late than never, …
