COVER REVEAL
COVER REVEAL of my new book designed by the amazing Josephine Blake @covers.and.cupcakes. I adore it! She captured the setting and the characters so well.
Caught by the Cowboy is the first book in the Cowboys and Tiaras Romance series. Presently, this is a brand new two-book series that follows new characters Emmy Jo Jackson and Isabelle Pomeroy, two amazing women on the rodeo queen circuit who find love with some pretty hunky cowboys who are going to make you swoon. (Isabelle's book will release next Christmas).
Caught by the Cowboy will release this spring. If you like sweet romance, stunning big sky vistas, and unforgettable cowboys, then this romance is for you. Check out a fun quote from the book on my website:

I’m excited to start something new and see where it takes me. Here’s to new things in 2023!

This or That
Just wondering what you're in the mood to read during the cold and snow of January? (except for you Aussies:)
As much as I love Christmas and wintery romances, I enjoy stepping away and going on new and different romantic adventures.
I'm currently reading "I am not Charlotte Lucas" by @authorkaseystockton. I read this in a critique group and can't wait to see what she's done with it since then.
Are you ready for Sweet Second Chance beachy romances where you can imagine curling your toes in warm sand?
Or would you rather hunker down in a soft blanket for an epic Enemies-to-Lovers romance set in another time and place?
Whatever you're craving, I've got you covered!

Happy Holidays!
One of the things I love about the holidays is all the festivities leading up to Christmas.
Some of my favorites: picking out and decorating the tree together while listening to Christmas music, seeing lights, hosting parties, going to concerts, making cookies with my cutie patootie granddaughter (she's very good at rolling them into balls).
Most of all, I love being with my family and friends, laughing, talking, and making wonderful memories together.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS DEAR FRIENDS!

Chapter 7 is in the Books!
I just finished writing chapter 7 of my new Christmas cowboy romance, titled Christmas with the Cowboy, and I'm absolutely LOVING how this book is coming together! I wish you could read it sooner, but life, ya know?!
To celebrate this small victory, I put on my "Crazy Pumpkin Lady" apron and made a batch of my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. If you're itching for the recipe, find it on Instagram. I'm looking forward to making homemade pies for Thanksgiving.
I had hoped to write a whole book this month, like many of my author friends, but my son and his family are moving in with us this weekend. I've spent most of the month cleaning out our basement and running stuff to Desert Industries and Goodwill. I honestly had hoped that job would belong to my kids when I kicked the bucket, but NOOO!!! Lol!
It's a mixed bag of emotions for me. It's a unique and wonderful opportunity to spend more time with my son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter. As much as I love them, I'm really worried about getting my writing done! I think grandma is just going to have to take a breather and head on over to the library.

Writer Inspiration
I just finished writing a chapter in my new book, Christmas with the Cowboy (publishing next year) where my two former love birds bump into each other in small town bakery. I won't tell you why it's such a surprise, but I will say it's totally delicious and completely heartwarming!
While I was writing, something out of the blue came to me, my son's "Don't Forget to Kiss the Cook" apron. He wanted to be a chef when he was a little guy (he's now attending law school). No guessing about how my subconscious developed that;) There's a darling little boy in this story and he loves to help his mama in the bakery. I figured he'd wear an apron. One of his own design makes it even better. And he's got some serious panache for decorating holiday doughnuts. Thank you Krispy Kreme for helping visualize what this kid would want to decorate.
I guess it's just part of the writing magic, but I tuck memories into my stories all the time. If you'd like to see more, especially of my boys when they were little, check out Paradise Beach. It's FREE and a great lead-in to the rest of the series, Paradise Shore and Paradise Cove.

What are you reading this weekend?
Hey, there! I just finished reading Paradise Cove (yes, my book--it's SOOOO swoony and I needed to get in the right mood for writing another romance).
I'm writing a new small town Christmas cowboy romance. Just loving the way it's coming together.
But I need something new to read. What are you reading this weekend?
I'd love to hear about your favorite book or maybe even a Christmas romance you liked. Let me know in comments!

Writing Update
I've finally started writing a new book (cue the party music🥳) and I'm so excited to share a little bit about it.
I've written just over 11,000 words for the second book in my Cowboys and Tiaras Romance Series. The first book, Caught by the Cowboy will launch March 2023.
Unbeknownst to me until now, this sweet romance turned into a second chance romance. The characters are darling together, but don't understand each other very well yet, which leads to all kinds of mayhem.
It's going to be so much fun! I can't wait to share this sweet and clean romance series with you. 2023 can't come soon enough!
