Banned Books Week
It's Banned Books Week!
It's fascinating to see the list of all the amazing books that have been banned over the years, but one of my favorites will always be Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. It's ferociously funny, and just gets better in subsequent readings.
Give it a try, and let me know what your favorite banned book is, in the comments!

End of Summer, Beginning of a New WIP!
It’s August, and for me that always brings mixed feelings.

I also just returned from two weeks at the beach in th...

Lost in Love Novella, On Sale Now!
A few months back, just after Finding Love was released, I started to get questions.
Readers were fascinated by Edward’s brother George, and the way he kept mysteriously disappearing whenever things got tense between Edward and Meg. When it seemed that George had developed a bit of a fixation on Meg’s coffee-shop nemesis Poppy, well…suffice it to say, people needed some answers. What on earth would attract gruff, burly George to a woman like Poppy? And why was Poppy so dang surly all the time...

Lost in Love Cover Reveal
You GUYS.
I am so excited right now. True, the kids are home on summer vacation and my progress on book three (Finding a Husband) has essentially ground to a screeching halt.
But!! I am over-the-moon about the new cover for Lost in Love from our pal Deborah at Tugboat Design! Isn’t it gorgeous?
A few things to know about this new installment in the Second Chances series:
This is not a full-length novel, but instead a ten-chapter novella. It does, however, include a bonus three-chapter short...June 2017

Finding Love Book Club # 5
Edward and Meg are a classic example of what I like to think of as the “Some Enchanted Evening” effect. Before they meet, they watch each other across a crowded room, and develop a sense of ‘knowing’ each other, despite being strangers. We probably all experience this to some degree, when we run into the same people again and again at places like the gym or on the subway. To what degree do you think our observations lend real insight into the other person’s nature? Or do they merely give us a false sense of familiarity, when we actually know nothing about them?
