Oh dear, I have stacks of book on my Kindle waiting to be read. The problem is finding the time. Of course there will be some romance novels, but I also love other genres as well. I'm hoping to read some more of The Miss Fortune Series by Jana Deleon and also discover some new authors who write humor and suspense. So many flavors to choose from.

Oh Diane, I am sorry but for now it is the last book. I love the series and may revisit it at sometime. Right now I want to move on and write something new. I have so many iron in the fire and many fans are like you. They hate to see a series end and are still waiting for Noah and Colleen's story from The O'Malley series. I am working on that and also Maeve and Sean's story as well as several brand new stories.
After I lost my husband last September I wasn't even sure I could continue to write romance. The reviews for Martha are coming in and they make me feel so much better. Readers still like my stories, which is a great relief. Thanks you for asking this question and for loving the series. You made my day! Stevie

That's an easy one, it's Nick and Maggie from Little White Lies. I love Nick's determination to win her, even though so many years have passed. He's passionate about her, accepts and comes to love her other children and will not let her get away with fudging the truth. I just think he's so loyal, even when she's wrong, and she is, frequently, he supports her. Sure, he'll call her on it later, but at the time, he has her back. In my humble opinion, Nick is the best thing since sliced bread and Maggie has been in love with him her entire life. If a man can forgive you for vomiting in his shoe, he has my vote. :)

Tess and Rory meet at the end of Little White Lies, but their story is really in The O'Malley Brides.

Oh, there are so many great things about being a writer. The sense of accomplishment when you finish a book and the thrill when reviews start coming in and you realize readers like it. Those are two big ones for me.

All I can say is that I haven't written it yet, but I am working on another O'Malley story that will feature the background on Colleen and Noah. No idea when it will be finished as I'm working on another story too. Thanks for asking though. I'm thrilled that fans have embraced this family.

My most recent book, is book #4 in my Sugar Babies, Inc. series, so it was a natural continuation of the story. 'The Last Match', is John and Erica's story that began in 'Matched For Keeps'. The newest book also deals with some difficulties Susan and Marcus are having in the course of their engagement. It is the final Sugar Babies, Inc. book

I have no idea, lol. I have a huge family and we spend a lot of time together, so writing about family dynamics comes easily to me. The characters kind of just jump into the conversation I'm having in my head, if that makes sense. I really have no clue who will make an appearance until they arrive. It's pretty exciting, actually.

Currently I am working on another novel that will go along with The O'Malley series. This one is Connor and Abby's story and will pick up where 'The Perfectly Naughty Bride' left off. I'm also working on a time travel/western and a paranormal romance. These three projects will keep me busy for a while.

Don't give up. Find the time, somehow, someway, to write. It doesn't have to be perfect, you can fix anything, but not if all you have is a blank page. And for goodness sake, don't set your dreams aside for 20 years like I did.

If it's normal writer's block and not brought on by my crazy life, I take a break and do something else for a while, something completely different. When I feel I may be able to move forward, I sit down and read the last two chapters of my WIP, and I can usually pick it up from there. If there is a lot of stress and drama going on around me, I pay close attention, casually mention that 'this could all be good copy', and watch them scatter, lol.
