Horace Goes Yule Shopping

"Where did all these new people to buy presents for come from?" Horace grumbled as he surveyed his shopping list. "Like I'm made of money." He thought of the bag of gold coins he had secreted away on his stone person that he hoped to use mostly on himself and not others.

Looked like that wasn't going to happen.Gargoyles tended not to wear clothing with pockets. Actually, gargoyles didn't wear clothing at all, so secreting the bag wasn't easy and wise to never ask them just where it might be. A...

Today is my 40th wedding anniversary, but also the 32nd anniversary celebrating the sale of my first two books to Silhouette Romance, Dancer in the Shadows and 14K Beauty.


And what a ride it's been!


I will be releasing Dancer in the Shadows and 14K Beauty early next year as ebooks through Joyride Books. Many more of my backlist books will be up too. So great to see those books have a new life!


To celebrate I'm offering a signed copy of Demons Are A Girl's Best Friend and a signed ARC of A...

Meet Our New Family Member

Meet Katie.

While she doesn't look like Barney, she's also a white mini Schnauzer.

And a total love.

Katie came to us under wild circumstances.

After the hospice's butterfly release ceremony in October, we had lunch with a couple of my husband's co workers and the head of the hospice office. She knew about Barney and mentioned that someone in the office was looking for a home for her mini Schnauzer. My husband started bumping me as in "can we, Mom, can we?"

I called the woman, we chatted for...

Merry Merry!

Can you believe it's that time of year again? I admit I love Christmas. I love the colors, the energy, music, you name it.

After Thanksgiving I'm ready to decorate inside and out. I have some things I do the same every year, but I also like to mix things up. I have pieces to a fun holiday village, some fibre optic pieces, and now with our latest furry critter, Katie, I need to keep a close eye on the plush animals. She seems to think they're all hers!

It also means pulling out the h...

It's listing to the right."

"It's straight."

"You call that straight? I called it old man crooked." Jazz shot Krebs a look that said 'fix it or else!'

Her housemate blew out an exasperated breath as he stepped back a few paces and studied the tree. She was right. It was leaning a little too far to the right.

"I'll have to secure the damn thing to the wall," he muttered. "You had to have a ten-foot tree, didn't you?"

"The room cries out for a large tree." She held her arms out to encompass the h...

Black Friday With Fluff and Puff

"Why couldn't we stay home?" Puff whined from his spot in Jazz's Marc Jacobs pink leather tote, as she wove her way through the hordes of people that pushed around Jazz."Because you might come in handy." Jazz had the grim determination you only saw one day a year. The day after Thanksgiving when serious shoppers came out to do their holiday shopping. She was there armed with credit cards, ready to do what it took to get all her shopping out of the way.Fluff's ears curved over the top of the b...

Turkey Day Is Coming!

Three days to that fantastic turkey dinner!

Are you ready? Or wondering just what have you put yourself in for?

I want to be one of the witches and hex up dinner. Same with the dirty dishes afterwards. That way I can indulge in a good book. I'd even settle for minions to do it all.

Not that I can complain since we're going out to dinner this year.

If you get a chance to get some good reading in, more power to you!

To get you in the mood, I'm including a Thanksgiving story about Jazz and Irma.

And f...

"What do you think?" Stasi stepped back from the large bay window to better study the display she'd designed for the upcoming holiday. She brushed her hands down her bold turquoise and black skirt with its spangled scarf hem that brushed her black high-heeled boots. A softer turquoise cowl neck sweater completed the look. She recently added gold highlights to her brown hair that was pulled back with a black band.

Isn't It Romantic? was in stylized gold script lettering on the overhanging sign....
