New Year, New Series
I’ve got news!
I have accepted a three book contract offer from Harlequin. In 2017, I’ll be bringing you a series centered around ex-Air Force heroes, their lives and loves. First up is my pilot hero, Stone Mcallister, whom I’ve been crushing on forever. I can’t wait for you all to meet him.
As my Starlight Hill series winds to a close with Forever with You, it’s inspiring to have other plans in the works.
I’ll still be self publishing as “time permits” (ahem, cough cough) so please keep in touch and do let me know if you’d like to see anything in particular from me. I love to hear from readers!

I’m Listening!
Is this funny or what? What do you think the dog is thinking? Wouldn’t you love to caption this? Let’s face it, no one listens to the safety demo any more especially if they’re hearing it for the umpteenth time. But maybe this is the doggie’s first time. I think I was interested in it the first time I heard it, too. After all, who doesn’t want to ponder the possibility of a plane crash as you’re boarding one? I recall thinking it was so interesting that my seat cushion was supposed to double as a flotation device.
As for me, I have questions. Did he have to pay full fare for that seat?

Riley and Sophia … and ice cream
He didn’t answer, but only studied her, his eyes a little sad. “Eat.”
She took a sip somewhat automatically and felt immediately annoyed with herself for listening to him. “You’re bad for me, Riley.”
“I’m not. I’m what the doctor ordered.”
“You’re like eating Chunky Monkey every night instead of once a week.”
He moved closer, so that his shoulder was touching hers. “So what do you want? Vanilla?”
“Not vanilla.” She took another sip, moved her legs and Hershey jumped off her lap, disgusted with Sophia for not sitting still enough for Her Highness. “Maybe Neopolitan. It’s good enough but not so much that I want it every day of the week.”
Riley stood up, took Sophia’s bowl and set it on the coffee table. He pulled her up off the couch, his hands on her elbows. The blanket fell to the ground at her feet.
“Admit it. You’d like to eat Chunky Monkey every day of the week. And sometimes you catch yourself thinking about it in the middle of the day. Wondering how you could get away with it.”
“Maybe.”
She’d forgotten how perfect it felt to be this close to him, their breathing comingled. Without a doubt, she’d once known he would have breathed for her if he could. He would have once done anything for her.
“You want Chunky Monkey. Admit it.” He pulled her closer, until she could feel every hard ridge of his body and then he pulled her closer still.
“Wait. Are we still talking about ice cream?”
“No.”

COVER REVEAL!!!!!!
I’m so happy to finally share the awesome cover of Unforgettable You. It’s a little different from previous covers, which seemed appropriate since this story is a bit of a departure from the previous Starlight Hill stories. Here’s the blurb:
“A frustrated author recently jilted by her fiancée, Diana wants a life do-over. What she needs is a change of scenery and she just might find that in Starlight Hill. But when Diana is the victim of a fire and rescued by her teenage crush, she’ll be forced to remind her heart frequently that she’s sworn off men. Tough and wild Scott has changed from his days as a love ‘em and leave ‘em type, making it difficult for Diana to remember why she gave up on love in the first place …
Scott is an adrenaline-junkie firefighter with a wild past until a painful mistake changed his life forever. When Diana’s rescue is filmed and goes viral, his first instincts are to protect and fix. There’s something about being around Diana that makes him feel human again, and like he can be the man she believes he is. The kind of man she deserves. But first he’ll have to forgive himself …
Can these two trust each other enough to leave the past behind and find happily ever after in the small town of Starlight Hill?”
Look for its release next month!
