RITA FINALIST!
This Tuesday I got the call that THE TYCOON'S SECRET DAUGHTER was a finalist in the short contemporary category for the 2013 RITA.
I can't even tell you how exciting this is for me...especially since I almost didn't enter this book into the Rita contest.
So when the call came I burst into tears. I'm sure the RWA board member who called me thinks I'm insane. But this book was very special to me in that it dealt with a very difficult, very real subject: Alcoholism.
I didn't want to treat it lightly or dismiss the pain of those dealing with the alcoholism of a loved one. So I worked really hard. And it's amazing to have the book get this kind of recognition.
So I thank everyone who read and liked this book...from the bottom of my heart.

A FATHER FOR HER TRIPLETS GIVEWAYS
Today I set up a giveaway for my May book...A FATHER FOR HER TRIPLETS. I'm giving away 10 books to 10 lucky winners!
I want everyone to get a chance to read the duet about the Johnson sisters. They're lovely heroines who rose about their traumatic childhood.
What I love about the books is that the heroines are so strong. But each still has to face her past before she can fully accept true love.
If you like kids in books the heroine has adorable triplets in book one and in book two, the hero, a widower, has a little girl who will make you laugh and cry.
I hope you enter the giveaway!

Welcome To Matt Patterson's World!
Matt Patterson is the "oldest" of the Larkville Legacy kids. He's grown up believing that his mother's husband was his dad...but guess what? He's not. His real father is his mom's first husband. He and his twin sister didn't even know their mom was married before. So he really only has 1 full sibling, his twin. The rest of his siblings are his half-sisters! And he's got a whole slew of Calhoun half-siblings...Texans. Ranchers.
Matt's a city boy. And also now a billionaire. In one short year, he doesn't merely get new siblings, when his ex-wife dies, he also inherits her baby. All because he agreed to become God father...a position he believed was only ceremonial.
I've created a board on Pinterest that shows Matt's life as it is now. But I'm guessing a new baby and new Texas siblings will eventually change that!
If you're curious and you love to see pix of your favorite characters and how they live...

My First Post
I'm slowly but surely crawling into the twenty-first century. It isn't because I don't like technology. I love technology!
Love it.
I'm the biggest Kindle/ereader fan on the face of the earth. I can take my entire To Be Read pile everywhere I go.
And I do go! My son lives a two-hour drive away and when we visit, we stay overnight. My husband's sister lives near Gettysburg and we LOVE to visit her. We see landmarks, learn a little history and eat at great restaurants in the Gettysburg Square. I also go to a good many writer's conferences. And let's not forget the beach.
All I have to do is take my ereader and I have the exact book I want to read for whatever mood I'm in.
I also love the author/reader interaction technology allows us. Not all reviews are good, but frequently there's something to be said for a bad review. If nothing else, we can learn from it.
So here I am. Finally. :) As much of a reader as everybody else here, I look forward to some great book discussions.
Now...to get up some reviews and join some groups.
So glad to be here!
