The woods are lovely…

I’m the mother of a sixth grader, and I’m determined to expose him to literature. I have a degree in English Lit, and I love the classics. I’ve read him countless classics from novels to poetry, and I’m not expecting him to remember it all or appreciate it the way I do, I just want him to know that it’s there.

So there are always a few classic poems stuck to our fridge, and from time to time, when my son asks for TV time, or whatnot, I’ll say, “First go read some poems on the fridge.” Then we’ll talk about which ones he likes, which ones he doesn’t, what he thinks about when he reads them…

We have a ratty little paper on our fridge right now–a Robert Frost poem that is probably familiar to you. I love this poem because of the way it makes me feel, and since it was rattling around in my head for several months, it made its way into my Christmas release, HER TRIPLETS’  MISTLETOE DAD.

Poetry isn’t about understanding the rhyme or rhythm, or even the deeper meanings. It isn’t about important poets, or the cannon of English Literature. Poetry is about feeling, and being able to stop for a moment, like in a winter wood, and feel the cold and quiet. It’s a very basic human experience to be able to feel some words.

I hope my newest novel will make you feel, too! I hope it will make you stop and breathe and draw in a moment. I hope it will remind you that love is real and powerful and possible.

And then I hope that some of you will take a moment to let me know about it! Because I do love hearing from readers.

So, if we ever have an apocalypse…

If we ever have an apocalypse, somebody is going to have to feed me. I realized this not too long ago.

We have these friends who are very self-sufficient. They fix things when they break, they put in their own fence around their yard, they renovate, they harvest and can the fruit from their trees… These people have my utmost respect. Every once in a while I’ll mention having to replace something in our apartment, and my friend or her husband will say, “Oh, you can fix that! All you need to do is…” And after listening to a description of the work required, I’m forced to admit, “That is completely outside of our skill set.”

And if there were ever an apocalypse, I think they might have to feed me. My husband is handier than I am… maybe between the two of us we could figure out how to keep our family alive.

the-last-of-us-3

Because I’m a writer. And I’m not handy. I’m not sure what I’d have to offer to a fledgling society of humans! I’m not a doctor, I’m not a farmer, I’m not handy with machines or growing food. I couldn’t build my own house. I likely couldn’t survive a winter! What can I do? I can tell you stories!

I mean, what is a story worth to people focused on survival? Is it worth one meal? Two meals? Is a month’s worth of stories worth helping us build a house?

Maybe… It depends on the stories you tell, I suppose. If you’re creating the history of this group of people, telling the tale of their survival, then maybe it is, because stories give us roots. They help us to know who we are and what we stand for. They help us to remember the ones we’ve loved and lost, and they give us hope for the future. Because if we’ve survived this much, we can keep going!

But I’d have to learn how to garden and preserve food, at the very least. My hearty petunias on the balcony just wouldn’t cut it.

What about you? If there were an apocalypse, would you have the skillset to keep yourself alive without all our modern conveniences?

Speaking of my particular skillset, have you checked out my release this month? It’s a cowboy romance with adorable twin girls and it’s guaranteed to tear your heart out. That’s the kind of book I write!

It’s no surprise that Sawyer West doesn’t recognize the beautiful woman visiting his ranch. After an accident, he doesn’t remember anyone. Not even his twin toddlers. Still, something tells him he can trust Olivia Martin, who offers her help with the girls—and recovering his missing memories. Yet that trust may shatter when he learns why she’s really there…

If you look at the books on the nightstand at the beginning of this Harlequin video, one of those books is mine! Do you know what that means? It means that cowboy is technically MY hero! As in, the hero that I wrote! How cool is that?

I’m rather tickled, because I thought this video that Harlequin made was rather cute, and it took an author friend of mine to point out my book in the beginning.

So, if you’d like to meet the hero from this video, he’s in this book…

And if you love cowboys, this Christmas, I have a new cowboy romance coming out! It will be released November 1, 2019, and I can’t wait for you meet Seth Straight, rugged cowboy and Gabby Rogers’ best friend who steps up for a sham marriage to help her newborn triplets get the formula they so desperately need…

I came across this joke online, and it made me laugh!

The thing is, authors work really hard for their money. If you’re looking for a job where you can make a lot per hour, don’t choose writing! As an author, you write because you can’t imagine doing anything else. And all of us write with the hope that one day we’ll make a fortune, but in all reality, most of us never do. If we make a living wage, we’re incredibly proud of ourselves, and we work our tails off to get it!

So when you see TV writers who sit around having coffee, hanging out with friends, writing a little bit and then solving a murder or something… please join us authors is a giant eye roll! LOL! That’s not how it works.

But when readers pick up our books and enjoy them, pass them around, write a review, gush just a little–that makes all that work worth it! It REALLY does.

And I wouldn’t turn down a bestseller. 😉

Today is the official release day for A RANCHER TO REMEMBER!

If you love toddler twins, brooding cowboys and family secrets, you are going to love this third book in my MONTANA TWINS miniseries.

I spotted it in the grocery store the other day, and I couldn’t resist taking a picture of it. You’ll have to forgive me for not squatting down next to my cart with my purse balanced on one shoulder and getting into the shot with it. There are days I’m just not willing to do the gymnastics necessary in full view of strangers. LOL

It doesn’t matter that Liam’s parents have been waging a decades-long matchmaking campaign—Megan and Liam are just friends. Megan’s life is in Denver, and Liam is committed to his job protecting Eagle’s Rest as a police officer.
