A Fork in the Road
Let me say something you already know: Change is hard. Scary. Necessary. Often, when we decide to set off on a new path, we don’t realize that it means we’ll be leaving some things behind. This is commonly known as hindsight. See, I did that a while back. I chose to put my romance on ... Read more

Life is Better With a Grateful Heart
This year as Thanksgiving approaches, I’m focusing on gratitude.

The Traditional Christmas Fruitcake – Western-Style
I don’t know about you, but when I think of fruitcake, I think of the currant version, with almost sickly-sweet candies instead of real fruit, soaked in enough sugar to make a person vibrate out of existence if they eat a slice. So, when I was writing a scene for an upcoming book, A Sugar ... Read more

A View Worth the Climb – by Regina Scott
When I look out my backdoor and catch sight of Mt. Rainier, I know I am one fortunate gal. Something about that mountain, one of the tallest in the Continental U.S., draws me in. I’m not the only one. The first white men reached the summit in the mid-1800s. The first white woman reached it ... Read more
