Yes, I do have one! 🙂

This last Christmas, it was what I asked Mr. Johns to get for me. I wanted a fountain pen that I could use when signing books, and he came through!

I love the way a fountain pen writes, and my jots and scribbles of book ideas and reminders to myself just feel that much more momentous when written with a fountain pen.

I also have a little stash of ink cartridges that come in different colours. I started out with pink, and I’m currently using a black cartridge, but I also have green, purple, blue and red waiting for me! Sweet anticipation.

I never thought I’d be a pen person. But here I am! And I love my pen! 🙂

So if I sign a book for you going forward, you know which pen I used to do it!

Have you read my March release yet?

4.282079.512.9781335510570He’s always been the one…

She’s always been just a friend!

Grace Beverly spent years hopelessly in love with her best friend, Billy Austin. Now he’s back in Eagle’s Rest, Colorado, determined to provide the best life possible for his four-year-old daughter. He’s just not sure how. Helping Billy navigate the world of parenting is a one-way ticket back to heartache. Yet how can Grace say no to her oldest friend?

I’m not comfortable in front of a camera. Most people aren’t, but I have a friend who is a photographer, and she came by to visit. We actually went to high school together, and she happened to be in town. She brought her camera along and decided to snap a few pictures just for the fun of it while I signed a couple of books for her.

My God, she’s good… Do you ever just feel humbled by another person’s talent?

Here are a few pictures she captured while our kids watched Netflix together.

If you’d like to check her out, she’s at barriejane.ca, and she’d located near Lloydminster, Alberta. If you’re lucky enough to book with her, she does an AMAZING job!

Book signing! :)

This weekend, I did my very first book signing. I was definitely intimidated. I’ve never done a book signing before, and since I’m 17 books deep with Harlequin, I figured it was high time. At the very least, it’s good for character, right?

And now, I can tell you about my amazing friends. I didn’t exactly hide that this scared me to death, and friends from all sorts of different corners came out and found me, bought a book and made me feel loved.

So to all my friends who came out and supported me, a HUGE thank you! And to the one non-friend who bought a book–thank you, too! ❤

I took a selfie with my two local writing buddies. On the left you have my friend who is currently working on getting published. (And I have no doubt she’ll get there very soon!) And on the right, you have Taryn Leigh Taylor who also writes for Harlequin and lives down the street from me. They’re both great–and showed up at the same time.

So there you have it–the book signing that didn’t kill me after all. LOL!

I have some really great people in my life. Just wanted to let you know. ❤

Into the woods…

20180805_142917In our town, we have this network of trails that goes through this central wooded area, and it’s just beautiful this time of year. Mr. Johns and I decided to go for a long walk, and our ten-year-old son came along because he had to. LOL

Anyway, it was a beautiful, 3 hour walk, and our son complained at the cruelty of his parents forcing him to get actual exercise. It was still a nice walk! And no ten-year-olds were harmed in the writing of this post. But I may have been tempted. 😉

This is what I’ve been up to lately! There isn’t much to rant about. It’s just… summer! And I’m making the most of it. We’ve had some nice heat, and our walk left my hair flat and me all sticky, but who cares, right? Anyone else on the trails looked just like this.

Mr. Johns and our son. 

I took a couple of pictures to show you, because it was just so pretty out! But the pictures don’t do it justice. You can’t hear the woodpeckers and the squirrels. And you can’t feel how good the shade feels.

But this picture was the closest to perfect that I could take with my humble abilities.

And this was so much better in person, too!

Speaking of “in person,” if you’d like to come see me at my book signing on Saturday, August 11 in Spruce Grove, Alberta, I’d be just thrilled to meet you in person!

This will by my first book signing of my career (17 books in!) and I’m terrified. Come make it easier on me! 😉

In these proportions

Look what the UPS guy brought? My massive book cover sign for my upcoming book signing on August 11!

Isn’t it huge? I love it! I mean how often does a girl get her book cover delivered to her in these proportions? I mean, maybe more often now that I’m determined to do more book signings. 😉

If you are in the Edmonton, Alberta, Canada area on August 11, please come by and say hello! I’d love to see you. 🙂

Seventeen Harlequin books in, and this is my first book signing! I wish had an interesting reason for waiting so long, but the truth is, a book signing intimidates me. Authors are solitary creatures by nature, so sitting behind a little table waiting for people to come talk to me is just about the scariest thing I can think of. But I’m going to do it. 🙂 And I’m begging all my local friends to come visit me, while I’m at it.

I’d love to see you there! If you are in the Edmonton, Alberta area and you’d like to pick up a signed copy of my latest book, I’d be thrilled to meet you in person.
