He’s forgotten how to be a daddy
But he’ll learn for his Montana Twins

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…

My very first copies of A RANCHER TO REMEMBER showed up on my doorstep the other day, and I couldn’t wait to share this with you!

I love this story… a cowboy dad to rambunctious twins who loses his memory only to discover the only person who sparks even the faintest memory is a woman who wasn’t his wife! What kind of a man was he? Is he willing to find out?

A RANCHER TO REMEMBER , the last book in my Montana Twins miniseries, hits the shelves this August!

I love when Harlequin uses my covers for Spot the Difference!

This is my May release, Her Twins’ Cowboy Dad.

Can you see the difference! It didn’t take me long, but then I’ve been staring at this cover for months now. 😉

If you haven’t picked up a copy of your own, I hope you will! A brooding cowboy, an unexpected twist to an inheritance, and two bubbly twins… What’s not to love?

I’ve found it in the wild!

I love being able to visit my books in the wild… all fending for themselves out there. It’s one experience to get your own box of books from the publisher and hold them in your hands, but quite another to see it on the shelves! I go book-stalking when my books come out, so I can go look at them on the shelves and get a picture without drawing attention and looking like a weirdo. 😉 Introvert problems.

This time, I spotted it in our local grocery store on the Easter weekend. Ta da! Directly after this photo was taken, I bought margarine.

I have two releases coming up in May–one with Harlequin Inc and the other with Kensington Books, and I can’t WAIT to visit them both on the shelves! You can be sure that I’ll be taking some pictures of those in the bookstores and confusing the poor employees. 😉

You’ll be able to find both of these on the shelves in May… the Harlequin book hitting the shelves late April, if you’d like to grab a copy early.

The Bishop's Daughter MM

 

In this poignant, beautifully written novel, a faithful young Amish widow is reunited with her wayward first love . . .

As a bishop’s daughter and good Amish mother, widowed Sadie Hochstetler teaches her young son that God blesses those who try their best to please Him. But her brief marriage taught her that life is infinitely more complicated than that. Older, and serious, her late husband seemed a sensible choice—especially compared to Elijah Fisher, the spirited boy with whom she butted heads and hearts. Then Elijah abruptly left for the Englisher world, taking Sadie’s beloved brother along with him—a double betrayal she still strives to forgive. Especially now that Elijah has returned . . .
 
Elijah plans to stay in the Amish community only as long as he’s needed, helping his family and working for Sadie’s ailing father. The outside world has changed him, leading him to question rules and restrictions that others take on faith. Once, he’d been head over heels in love with the bishop’s daughter—a girl he was judged unworthy of courting. Nine years have changed so much between them. Yet something remains—a spark that, for all their differences, might light the way home again . . .

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 I love both of these stories so much, and I hope you’ll pick up both of them in May!

I have a brand new cover for my August release, A RANCHER TO REMEMBER!

This is a story about a cowboy dad with toddler twins who suffers from short term amnesia after a head injury. He needs help remembering how to be a dad, and who better than his old friend who is back in town? But there is something about her that nags at the back of his splintered memory…

More details to come closer to the release!

But what do YOU think of this cover?

Cover Vs. Cover!

Harlequin used my May 2019 release for their Cover Vs. Cover ads on Facebook last week!

I love when they use mine. 🙂  And I couldn’t love my cover more! It’s just so cute–the red-headed twins, the way you can tell the hero is saying “Two?” in response to what the little girl is saying… It’s just a dream cover.

But Jill Kemerer’s book looks great, too! There’s just something about a cute baby belly, isn’t there? So I hope when you see these on the shelves late April, you’ll pick up both of them. It would be cruelty of me to ask you to choose. 😉

New books!

Look what arrived! This is my second May 2019 release, Her Twins’ Cowboy Dad.

I was out when the UPS guy came by, so I asked Mr. Johns to pick up the box on his way home from work. I was pretty sure I knew what was in this box, and I wasn’t disappointed!

This is the back cover copy for the story:

A cowboy committed to bachelorhood
…until these little Montana Twins change everything

Thanks to his dysfunctional family, cowboy-to-the-bone Colt Hardin insists marriage and fatherhood aren’t for him. But then his uncle dies, leaving Colt the ranch he’s always wanted—and the herd to his late cousin’s mischievous twin toddlers. Now Colt must find a solution with their pretty mother, Jane Marshall. Can these little cherubs show Jane and Colt what a family can truly be?

We have a friend who keeps telling us that marriage is just a piece of paper, and Mr. Johns and I disagree with him on that point. It’s more than a legality… in our humble opinion, at least. And in our experience. But these dinner party debates sparked the idea for this book. My hero is convinced that marriage is nothing more than a piece of paper. My heroine? She disagrees. But she’s no more interested in getting married again than he is! It’ll take more than her rambunctious twins to tug these two together…

 

This book hits the shelves May 2019! 

20th Harlequin!

This March, my 20th Harlequin romance will be released. This is a big milestone, and one that I’ve been looking forward to. It’s just such a nice round number, and it feels… accomplished. Does that make sense?

This comic is SO true when it comes to celebrating these things. I tend to just pat myself on the back and move on to the next book, but I feel like this time I really should pause a moment and enjoy it.

I’m not sure what I’ll do. I think I might have a family dinner complete with a decadent dessert. I’ve never had a release party before, because I’m too introverted to enjoy that kind of thing. But now that my parents live closer, I might have a teeny celebration with my husband, son and parents… that would be nice!

Oooh! And I just thought of it now, but I’ve been wanting one of these, and this might be the perfect occasion to pick one up!

We’ll see… but I do feel like I need to do something to mark this event.

I’ve worked for it.

I’m new to being forty, but I’m liking it! I’ve noticed that Facebook’s algorithms are choosing a different type of ad for me now. Instead of diet fads and beauty hacks, they’re sending me adds for slippers and mukluks.

They finally get me! Because I’d actually like to buy a decent pair of mukluks now that I’ve seen multiple ads for them. 😉

The one thing I’m not very good with is realizing how old I look. In my head, I look a lot younger, it seems. And I’ve proven that by suggesting a 35-year-old woman was “my age.” This was not because she legitimately looked 40. She’s beautiful and really does look like a tight, well-maintained 35. But in my head, so am I! I immediately apologized when I realized my error (and she looked at me aghast) and told her that it it only reflects on how delusionally young I think I look still… Here’s hoping there are no hard feelings, because she’s kind of extended family, and I really like her.

Follow your dreams

 

But my forties are treating me well. Here are a few things I’m enjoying about them:

  1. No one expects me to be to be thin anymore. “Good Lord, she’s in her forties. Leave her alone.”
  2. Nothing is marketed for me. Except slippers and mukluks. And life is cheaper when the barrage of marketing passes you by!
  3. I’ve been working at my writing career seriously for almost twenty years, and that hard work is paying off. It feels good!

So there you are–I’m enjoying forty, but I’m still putting my foot in my mouth. Because apparently,  that’s my MO. 😉

Have you picked up my book yet? You can get it online or find it on the shelves in your favourite bookstore all this month. 🙂

Two stubborn hearts. One ranch.

Could Montana Twins unite them?

With orphaned twin infants to care for, Casey Courtright hoped to buy the ranch he works on—but he can’t match Ember Reed’s offer. Nevertheless, Casey agrees to show Ember the land she plans to use for her therapy center, but only if she’ll help him with the babies. And as the twins draw them together, Casey might just find that Ember is his perfect partner.
