Cinderella Story

Sometimes Cinderella is a married woman with six...yeah, six kids.

One of the best things you can do in this life is 'pay it forward'... do something for someone just because you can.

Three... I think it was three... three years ago  I met a woman online who had this amazing ability to put together a website. We met through a mutual online friend. When all was said and done this woman agreed to help me with my website. At the time I couldn't afford what most website designers were asking. In fact... I couldn't afford anything. She agreed to do my website for ZERO. Yep, nothing. She liked the thought of doing something in her down time that didn't involve tiny people under the age of ten.

I was skeptical, worried my website would look like crap or things wouldn't be updated. But my writing career was taking off and I didn't have the time to think about a website.

The website turned out amazing.

Then I asked this lovely lady if she'd be interested in designing a book cover. I was embarking on this crazy notion of self publishing. I had an idea and wanted her to help me out.

She said no.

Fine, I moved on and started to come up with titles, cover ideas... I was going to make this work. Then one day we chatted and she asked if the book I was talking about on Facebook was the one I needed a cover for. When I told her yes she told me she had an idea. Before I know it Wife by Wednesday had a cover.

Well, most of you know the story from there.

So on this day... years later and over a million of my books sold. Crystal has become my full time assistant. I've had the blessed ability to pay for everything she does for me.

If there is one blessing in all that writing has done for me...it's for being able to pay it forward to amazing people like Crystal.

One of the best days of my life came when I asked Crystal if she and her family had been to Disney World.

She said no.

Well... She can't say that now!

I love ya, Crystal... we really do need to meet in person one day!

Happy New Year

As we toast our goodbyes to 2013, let's look back on some of the good times, and some of the great reads that entertained us...

In May, the Romantic Times Booklovers Convention was hosted in Kansas City. We had snow and lots and lots of love and friendship.

I also released the second book in the Not Quite Series in May...

But let's not forget about that convention... lots and lots of hard work happening in this picture.
I also released he third book in my Weekday Bride Series. Nothing like a little Neil and Gwen to make you smile.   For the first time in my career I have books on a shelf at Sams Club! Whoot!


I had a couple of books released in different languages.

I dove to Vegas for the RNC Convention. Won a couple of awards. Met some new friends. 




 Then there was the Summer Indie Booksigning!





 Then there is the release of Not Quite Enough. 
Then there was the Seattle conference: 








And the long-awaited release of Amber's book, Highland Protector. 
No offence 2014, but 2013 is going to be a very hard year to beet.
