To me, it seems like both forever and just a few months ago that THE AGENT was released (Jan. 2021). We were still in the throes of the pandemic when time became a strange, elastic thing that warped and twisted. I struggled to be creative for many months and then...an idea began to percolate in my writer's brain. An idea about a present-day fictional island country with a king and nobles who were truly noble, who believed in duty, honor, and integrity. And so Caleva was born. The first book is titled ROYAL CALEVA: GABRIEL. It will be released April 25th, 2023. I'm almost finished with writing it and cannot wait to share it with you, my wonderful readers. The cover will be coming soon (I hope!). Thanks for your patience in sticking with me!

Ben Cavill is very popular with my readers so I can almost guarantee that he will get his own happily-ever-after. I'm just not sure exactly when it will happen. :-) But I love him too and agree that he deserves it. His story would be part of my new Second Glances series, so make sure to check out the novella that kicks it off: SECOND TO NONE, releasing in September. Loved hearing from you!(less)

Thanksgiving is fun!

My extended family gathers at my sister’s house every year for Thanksgiving…for several days! (Yes, my sister and her family are saints.) We eat and drink a lot but we also have a ton of non-food-related fun.

Last year, we decorated potatoes–and one lemon when we ran out of potatoes–to look like turkeys (sort of) and then put them on wheels…because you can’t win at decorating. We raced them down a

Nancy Herkness added a status update: The final proofread manuscript just came back to me so ROYAL CALEVA: GABRIEL is going into production. Woohoo! I can't wait to hold it in my hands as an actual physical book. That thrill never fades. Even better, this means that release day (April 25th!) is getting closer and closer. Then the real fun begins as you close the circle and meet my characters. Here's hoping you love them as much as I do!
