Born in Visalia, California, I'm a small town girl at heart. I love central California's golden foothills, oak trees, and the miles of farmland. In my mind, there's nothing sweeter in the world than the heady fragrance of orange blossoms on a sultry summer night.

As a little girl I spent hours on my bed, staring out the window, dreaming of far off places, fearless knights, and happy-ever-after endings. In my imagination I was never the geeky bookworm with the thick coke-bottle glasses, but a princess, a magical fairy, a Joan-of-Arc crusader.

Christmas Stories on Screen. A Very Proud Moment!

I promised last week that I’d share more about our Christmas movies, and here I am, finally catching my breath long enough to sit down and write to you. Life has been wonderfully full lately — Tule books, Tule films (yes, four Lifetime Christmas movies this year…isn’t that so cool?), my own December release, and then just everything else we all juggle this time of year. But today I wanted to pause

Dramatic, compelling and intriguing

I wasn’t sure I was going to like this book, but ended up rereading it when I finished it. The characterization was fabulous. The plot compelling. I very much enjoyed the weaving together of the different stories.

Quotes by Jane Porter  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Yet happiness isn't something you chase, it's something you are. It's something you think, it's something you believe.”
Jane Porter, Odd Mom Out

“All warfare that is not defensive is criminal.”
Jane Porter, The Scottish Chiefs

“God forgive her, but underneath the smiles and the good job and the great family, she was tired. Desperately tired. Tired to the point of breaking. In the last few years the exhaustion had grown, rising up like a specter to knock on her door. No one knew, she hadn't told even Kit, but in the past year she'd begun to question her entire existence. Why was she even here? What was life? Was she even necessary?
Maybe all women had these thoughts. Maybe all women felt tired. But the thoughts confused her. Good women weren't supposed to have doubts. Good women were supposed to be strong and selfless. Instead Meg felt needy and afraid. What if there was no reward for all the hard work? What if life was just one sacrifice after another?”
Jane Porter, The Good Woman

Patricia Jane, I can't thank you enough for the gift of FLIRTING WITH FORTY. I enjoyed the book SO much. I hated to put it down because I wanted to see what happens to Jackie and Kai. Thank you so much for the book and you have a new fan for sure. I look forward to reading more of your books!!!
