Lunch with my Denver Readers

Happy Monday everyone!  I'm just about to dive into my writing but wanted to let all my Denver readers know that I'm going to be in your city this Thursday, September 23rd  for the Mountains and Plains bookseller tradeshow at the Marriott Tech Center, and I'm organizing a lunch for my Denver area readers. 

The 1 pm lunch is my treat , and its going to be at a fantastic restaurant and I'm bringing special reader goodie bags for everyone that attends.  There is no agenda, just a small,  relaxed ...

A Dark Sicilian Secret is done!

My latest Harlequin Presents, a story set in Sicily, has been officially accepted and titled.  I don't know when A Dark Sicilian Secret will be scheduled, but fingers crossed it'll be out this time next year, if not a little sooner.

This was such an intense book, and while I loved my premise, it challenged me at every twist and turn.   I hope my romance readers will love this story as I've never written anything quite like this before.

To celebrate the book's acceptance, as well as my deep...

Traveling & Touring Jane

I'm writing a lot this week, working on my new book, and it's exciting and challenging, and compelling and frustrating, but isn't that how a new book always is?

But even with all the writing, the She's Gone Country book tour rolls on. This Friday I'm at the Borders at Sea-Tac airport at 9 am, and then Thursday Sept 9th is my big Bellevue launch party with the Barnes & Noble discussion and signing at 7 and the party over at Ooba's at 8 pm. Lisa Johnson, owner of Ooba's, stopped by my house...

Back Home

Back home after my week in California! It's been a very successful tour so far. Readers are loving She's Gone Country and I really want to thank everyone who's posted a review at Amazon and the other sites! Several of you have emailed to tell me it's your all-time favorite book that I've written. I'm grateful and touched for the terrific feedback. Thank you so much!

I've got two big Washington events coming up. My big Bellevue launch with that always fun Ooba's party and a book signing at...

Cover Girl Questions

I'm checking in from the road again, this time from Pasadena, CA! I just received the first entry for my She's Gone Country Cover Girl Contest—check it out here—plus a lot of questions from readers about the contest rules.

Many of you have asked how true to the cover your photos need to be. Answer: as long as the photo features you, a truck, and a copy of She's Gone Country, you're all set. Get as creative as you want. No need to find an identically red, beat-up truck, and certainly no need...

Leapin' Lizard!

While I gasp at the 109 temperatures predicted for today's high in Fresno, Mac's in Hawaii with his dad…wearing baby lizards on his head!  When I say we're raising a wild child, I mean it!  Mac is so funny and silly, and built so much like our English bulldogs I think he is one!

 

I had to leave Sacramento around 4:30 am this morning to make my Great Day interview at the Fox station in Fresno this morning, but the interview's done (it went really well!  yay!) and I'm heading to my hotel room...

Book Events All Week Long!

The pic  below was taken in July when I joined a wonderful Seattle book group for their discussion of Odd Mom Out and tomorrow I begin a whole new round of book talks, readings, signings and discussions….about SHE'S GONE COUNTRY!  I am really excited to be on the road, meeting up with readers, and saying hello to booksellers.

Are you in California?  Can you join me at one of my book events this week?  It's Palo Alto Monday night, Sacramento Tuesday night, Fresno Wednesday night, Pasadena...
