Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone! And a Happy Holiday to those of you who celebrate another holiday entirely!

I haven't been around much the last few months. But I plan to change that in the coming year.

It's my New Year's Resolution! So I hope you come around to keep me company!

But for now.........I hope your holidays are wonderful, packed with love and the makings of great memories. May you all eat too much, laugh too hard and love with every corner of your hearts! Take the time to enjoy your families and your friends and may we all be blessed with a wonderful new year........

Christmas books....

Wow....it's almost Christmas!! When did that happen?? And where did my year go???

On the upside....you now have the chance to buy a really terrific Christmas book, if I do say so myself!

UNDER THE MILLIONAIRE'S MISTLETOE is a 2 in 1 book! You get a Christmas story from me and one from my friend, Sandra Hyatt!

And just so you know......in my story, one of the characters you meet will be the heroine of my January book!

So get your copy now! Your local author really appreciates it.....and hey, Christmas stories to help you relax at Christmas time! What could be better??
Hmm. Dinner with Johnny Depp. New car. 20 pounds lost by tomorrow. Calorie free chocolate.

Okay, lots MAY be better! But you'll like the book a lot. I promise!

Pumpkin Patch

Can't believe it's this time of year again...

But here I go. Off to a pumpkin patch this morning with two adorable kids and their mom.....the three year old is much more adventurous than he was last year at this time, so I'm thinking I'll be doing a lot more chasing him this time around.

The newborn won't move much, but we'll prop him up next to a pumpkin so he can feel festive, too!

You guys getting ready for the start of the holiday season?

Or are you all as stunned as I am that the year went by so fast???

October Kings of California.....

Boy has it been a long time since I've done any blogging! I know. Bad Blogger.

Truth is, I've been so busy I've hardly done anything but work. And how sad is that??
On the upside, there is a new Desire headed your way thanks to all of this work! And if I do say so myself, it's pretty darn good.

CINDERELLA AND THE CEO is a Kings of California book, starring Tanner King, who was practically a recluse and a LOT of fun...and then there's his heroine, Ivy who is a Christmas tree farmer! You've got...

Kitchen

I showed you guys the destruction that was my kitchen!! For five and a half weeks, we were invaded by talented, loud, creative, loud, hardworking, loud construction guys!

I thought it would NEVER end. In a way, I even got used to the new way of life...cooking in an electric wok on one small corner of the dining room table.....yee gods.

Anyway, the nightmare is over and the kitchen is sooooooo worth it! So wanted to post at least one picture here to show you all how it turned out!
Hmm...

All By Myself............

Well, all of my pals are in Orlando this week at the RWA National conference.

(No, they don't really look like this picture, I just did that to get back at them for having fun without me!)

But with deadlines and a kitchen renovation...a conference just seemed like too much hard work! =)

Still, now that I'm All By Myself.......I'm rethinking the whole thing. And I swear, I will NEVER miss another conference..........
