Shhhh–I'm hard at work

Actually, I'm hardly working. I'm on holidays right now, and thanks to the wonders of pre-programing the blog, you get to hear from me even as I could be—floating in the ocean, or drinking margaritas. Or floating in the ocean while I'm drinking margaritas.

It is a holiday, you know!

But here's the heads up–even though I'm gone, there's going to be some fun times starting up on the 13th–the International Heat blog tour begins that day and there are prizes to be had. After the tour is done...

Snippet Saturday-lost loves

Snippet theme- lost loves. In Wolf Flight, maybe not so much a lost love as one unrealized at the time. Enjoy!

Missy took a deep breath, looking around the small airfield with interest while she let the butterflies settle. Her journey over the past months had led her in a full circle, returning her to old stomping grounds. She'd grown up in Whitehorse, lived in the north until she was sixteen. How strange the solution to the horror hanging over her head might be found here.

She stared at...

LOL!

Sometimes you just stumble across things that make you laugh when you need it most. I found a whole slew of these buttons–sorry, when I find out who to credit I will–but they certainly are good for a smile or two!!

Snippet Saturday-shopping

Oh man, the themes lately are killing me. Shopping? I'm not a girly-girl, by ANY stretch of the imagination. Shopping makes me crazy, and so the likelihood of any of my characters willingly going shopping?

Oh boy.

Then it hit me. Of course they shop. Everyone, even a down-to-earth, consistent tomboy needs to eat! Snippet from Rocky Mountain Heat.

Enough. Carol could rant for hours and Jaxi's time was fading away. She handed over the cash for the bill. "Trust me. Games all night and a popcorn f...

Did you see the freebies?

xxx

I know there's been a few people that have had a chance to enjoy Wolf Signs this past week.

Did you know there's a freebie to follow it? First Howl is a short story about Robyn and Keil's first New Year's Eve together. There's also a freebie for Wolf Flight–Second Howl. Warning–they are short (4K), but very hot.

I've got plans in the works for a freebie to follow Bks 3&4 as well as a teaser, non-sexy short story all about TJ being…TJ. You can check out the Free button at the top of the...

Beth Danube has escaped to a small Alberta town to make a new start for herself and her three little boys. Her emotionally abusive husband may be dead and buried, but so is her heart. What she doesn't want is another man in her life—not now, maybe not ever. Yet when her...

Busy busy busy

I'm getting ready for my anniversary party starting March 18, and wooooowheeee, I think it's going to be fun! I know, I know, it's my party, I'm going to say that, but since I've just figured out the prize list and there are 6 print books and 6 ebooks in the giveaway pile, I think that adds to the fun factor, don't you?

Plus a wolfie. That's right, I'm going to give away another wolfie, because right smack dab in the middle of my anniversary bash is the release of bk 3 in the Granite Lake...

What's up, Doc?

There's a pretty Coming soon page button at the top of the page, but since people keep asking, here's the list of what's coming up (some of these dates are tentative, but should be in the ballpark). Check the official link above to get to blurbs and excerpts.

And really, I don't expect to continue this pace forever. Selling 5 books in back in October kinda of threw me into warp speed for a while. I'm loving it, but things will eventually slow down.

I think.
