My Home to Eagle’s Rest miniseries with Harlequin Heartwarming has been a fun one to write! I do love this mountain town tucked away in the Colorado rockies. My newest release, THE LAWMAN’S BABY, is a part of this miniseries, and my very last Home to Eagle’s Rest story will come out this Christmas. But in the meantime, I wanted to give you a quick peek of Home to Eagle’s Rest stories all together in one place…

So without further ado, here they are:

4.278504.512.9781335633828Their relationship isn’t real…

But his feelings for her are!

Detective Jack Talbott has devoted his life to ending police corruption. His latest target is Liv Hylton, the ex-wife of a dirty cop. She’s also the woman he’s secretly loved for years. To get close to her, Jack’s going undercover as her boyfriend. But when the evidence points to Liv’s innocence and a threat to her safety, he’ll do anything to protect her. Even risk his career…

And, if you haven’t seen it yet, I also have a Free Read on Harlequin’s website that’s set in  Eagle’s Rest!

1906_OR1_main

Megan Davis has always wanted to leave her small Colorado hometown for life in the city. So when she finds herself back in Eagle’s Rest, brokenhearted, she tells herself it’s a temporary setback.

Determined to enjoy the Fourth of July weekend, Megan accepts Liam Scott’s invitation to his family’s holiday celebration at Blue Fish Lake. 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.

But spending time with Liam reminds Megan of all she’s been missing—laughter, friendship and the natural beauty of Eagle’s Rest. Will Megan keep ignoring the deep emotions sparking between her and Liam, or is she finally ready to embrace a future that’s more than she could ever have imagined?

I got a box of books in the mail–this one from Mills and Boon in the UK! My Heartwarming book, HER LAWMAN PROTECTOR, was also released in the UK through Mills and Boon! How cool is that!

This is a picture of both covers side by side.

When I did a search, I found that it also came out in Australia, New Zealand and the Phillipines, and their cover is a little different, too.

I love this story, and I’m so glad that it’s coming out in North America, the UK, the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand! It’s very exciting to cross the pond again.

Growing up, my father was a minister and we moved around a lot. I’ve found that it’s a lot like having a parent in the military. I was always in a new school, living in a new setting. For my high school years, our family moved to a little mountain town called Salmon Arm in British Columbia, Canada.

Shuswap Lake

It’s a gorgeous little town fuelled by tourism. It’s located right by the Shuswap Lake. I have so many great memories from those three years in Salmon Arm! Friends, rights of passage… We hung out at the beach, drove around, and I worked at the local McDonald’s where all the other kids worked, too. It was a really great place to graduate high school.

This is a recent picture of the house we lived in back then.  (Snapped by a friend who went home to visit her parents.) That living room window has a view of the lake–just gorgeous!

Salmon Arm has stuck in my heart. There’s something about the way the seasons change in the mountains–like how you can know when winter is almost there because the snow line has moved down the mountains.

So when I wrote HER LAWMAN PROTECTOR, I decided to set it in the fictional mountain town of Eagle’s Rest. I gave her a bookstore… and I set it in the fall with the leaves all changing and the snow line moving steadily down those mountains… ❤

Sigh! I love this book! I really think you’ll like it, too!

Where do you get your ideas?

heartwarming romance, her lawman protector, sweet romance, writing inspiration

Writers get asked this a LOT. Where do our ideas come from? And the best answer I can give you is this:

We have twisted imaginations!

Some things we just make up. Other things, come from everyday stuff in our lives that gets twisted and pickled in the brine of our imaginations.

For example, in my newest release, HER LAWMAN PROTECTOR, there is a woman with a stroller. She’s a little creepy. Okay, she’s a lot creepy. I’m not going to tell you WHY she’s there, or who she is, or anything like that, but trust me–she’s memorable!

800px-Stroller&baby,japanAnd where did she come from? I have this friend… LOL! Yes, if you’re my friend you run the risk of being written in novels. She has a toddler, and we meet up in front of our kids’ school every day. So every day, I walk down the street toward the corner, and I see her standing there with the stroller. Well, one day I was walking down the street thinking about this manuscript, and I saw her standing there, and it came to me…

On the bright side, she’s read the book and LOVED it! So far, I think it’s her favourite. I reminded her that I’d written her into this one in the form of “Woman with Stroller”, her response was to laugh and say, “Yeah, I recognized myself there!”

So where do I get my ideas? Everywhere. And nowhere. And sometimes from my friends who have done nothing more dramatic than stand there with a stroller. 😉

My October release, Her Lawman Protector, took a little bit of time to arrive. Normally I get my own copies a lot quicker, but Harlequin rushed out another box for me when mine didn’t arrive, and it landed on a my doorstep a couple of weeks ago. And here it is…

…in all its glory! I love this book so much! It’s a mystery with an undercover cop and a heroine who has no idea she’s being investigated.

It’s available now through the Harlequin site as an e-book, so you could snap up a copy now!
