We Have A Winner!!

Waiting on You


The winner of Kristan Higgins’ new book is Sheryl. Congrats!! I’ll be in touch. Kristan’s book will be in stores this week (I’ve already spotted a few early copies), so be sure to check it out. It’s sure to be a great read, and a portion of Kristan’s early sales will go to the Fisher House Foundation, which supports military families.


Have a great rest of the weekend!

Corinna halted her flight and looked over her shoulder. Ian stood in partial shadow, his long legs and handsome face slanted with torchlight.


“He is?” she said.


He folded his arms over his chest. “I thought that might stop you.”

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!

St. Patrick's


“Wishing you a rainbow

For sunlight after showers—

Miles and miles of Irish smiles

For golden happy hours—

Shamrocks at your doorway

For luck and laughter too,

And a host of friends that never ends

Each day your whole life through!”


Happy St. Patrick’s Day to my readers – hope it’s a lovely one!
