Bundling Up for the Holiday!

Guess what? It's book release time! Well, almost! My publisher contacted me a couple of months ago to see if I'd be interested in having What a Texas Girl Wants be part of a new bundle of vacation-themed romances (of course I said yes, I love bundles as a reader so being part of one as an author was a no-brainer)...and it's almost release day!

Isn't that cover gorgeous? I just want to live in that cover!

Here are the details about the set:

Get swept away from your everyday troubles with these te...

USA Today and national bestselling author Anna J. St...

USA Today and national bestselling author Anna J. Stewart can't remember a time she didn't have a book in her hands or a story in her head. Early obsessions with Star Wars, Star Trek and Wonder Woman set her on the path to creating fun, funny, and family centric romances with happily ever afters for the independent heroines she writes for both Harlequin and Berkley. Anna lives in Northern California where she deals with a serious Supernatural & Sherlock addiction, surrounds hers...

The road to enlightenment--and its bumps

by Liz Flaherty

Sometimes, I convince myself I'm not a traditionalist. I'm a feminist, after all. Who loves or marries whom is quite frankly none of my business. I'm a Christian who believes Jesus Christ to be her savior, but your beliefs are up to you--it shouldn't get in the way of us being nice to each other, being friends, living in the same neighborhood, or laughing at the same jokes. You do like bad jokes, right? Because if you don't, then we'll have to work harder at getting along....

Christmas, Warts and Magic

by Carol Ross
“Christmas…is not a date. It is a state of mind.” I stuck this quote by Mary Ellen Chase to the edge of my computer back in July. I know what you’re thinking and I agree - July is too early to be thinking about Christmas. But I had to think about Christmas back in July. I had a novella to write for A Heartwarming Christmas boxed set. Panic was beginning to set in. And, being honest here, I wasn’t feeling it. I love summer. I love to be outside. All I wanted to do in July was be o...

Confessions of a Good Girl

I was raised to be a “Good Girl.” Good girls are studious and excel in school. Good Girls are social and popular. Good Girls go out with friends / boyfriends on weekend nights. Good Girls are never loud, boisterous, or obnoxious. Good Girls are always elegant, graceful, and gracious.

Suffice it to say, I pretty much sucked at being a Good Girl. Unfortunately, I wasn’t even a Bad Girl in that rebellious, vivacious, devil-may-care sort of way which gives parents grey hairs but gathers friends an...

To Dreams...

This week, I was reminded more than once to follow my dreams.

Sometimes, when life gets busy or trying, we forget to remember our dreams.

I'm in retail and this is an exhausting season. I leave work and I just want to collapse on the couch and veg out to DVR shows we've backlogged. And on my days off, I have to shop, decorate, bake...yada, yada, yada.

Earlier this week, after getting my totally scrubbed computer home, I was in the  garage hunting down my copy of Office7, when I came upon th...

Getting Organized!

Hey, readers! So, a couple of months ago I posted about my new planner and I promised an update. Well, today is that day! Here are the details of my planner: it's the MAMBI 'Happy Planner' with the 'Every Day Is A Gift' cover...and it's ARC-bound, which means the pages are fully adjustable but still *almost* as secure as if they were spiral-bound.

And now, for the update!

So, when I was first organizing the planner I set it up to have folders at the front, between the months of December 2015/Ja...

There's a Process?

It was Throwback Tuesday...

by Liz Flaherty

I'm serious! It really was! Well, it was a Tuesday, anyway.

I'm a pink lady at a local hospital and recently, I worked an afternoon shift in outpatient registration. It was a slow afternoon and I can only arrange magazines so many times and do so many word-search puzzles before I get a little...well, dopey. So I had this notebook. And this pen. And, for years, the only way I wrote was in longhand. These days, I don't even take notes with a pen, but on that Tuesday, I though...

Celebrate with Lillian Duncan

The Wranglers are happy to welcome author Lillian Duncan to the round corral. Read her inspiring story here, then give her new book a try!
CELEBRATE!
My latest release is No Home For The Holidays , a Christmas-themed romantic suspense novella. Christmas and suspense? I love the challenge of finding a way to mix the two. The gist of the story is about a “prodigal daughter” who wants to go home but knows she will put her family in danger as well as herself if she does.
In the story, Chloe is downri...
