Cover Reveal: Whenever You Come Around

I’ve been holding off sharing the cover of Book #2 in the Kings Meadow Romance series because its release seems so far away still. However, the book is now showing up on Goodreads and a few folks are finding it and adding it to their Want to Read shelves. And so, without further ado, meet Buck Malone and Charity Anderson on the cover ofWhenever You Come Around (spring 2015).

I love this cover, and I think it goes well with the cover ofLove Without End, too.

What do you think? Does it make you w...

June Wrap-Up

Like every other month, June flew by in a blur. The best part of the month was the trip to Las Vegas to meet up with two of the other authors ofFour Weddings and a Kiss so we could film a video (my husband Jerry was the videographer and the other husbands assisted) and sign our bookat the American Library Association convention. It was a 12 hour drive each way, 1400+ miles total, and I’m still feeling tired a couple of days after our return.

Here’s the wrap-up about the rest of the month.
