July 2009


Ready for the 4th everyone?  We're going to the family cabin on the lake to celebrate (and get some work done) and it looks like it'll be a great weekend! I hope you all have/had a great weekend, too.

There's not a whole lot going on these crazy days of summer.  I say crazy because the weather in WI last week swung from a high of 95 to a high of 65 degrees from the middle of one week to the beginning of the next.
  
I'm about to start another book after taking some time off of writing and I'm very excited to get to know the characters.  I also have one manuscript currently submitted to my publisher, The Wild Rose Press, and  two others I'll be working on to get submitted somewhere.  With luck, I'll have another book out in 2010.

On a personal note, I went to Country USA in Oshkosh the end of June and had a blast.  (One of these days I'll create a picture page, so check back soon.)
 Chasin' Mason (the band) played on the main stage and they were great!  I have their first two cds, and hope they come out with another one soon.  Other acts I loved were Brad Paisley, Heidi Newfield, Julianne Hough, Jimmy Wayne, Jake Owen, Little Big Town and Lady Antebellum.  Taylor Swift created quite the stir on Wed. night and while many people loved her, I think I might enjoy her performance more after she's had a few years to mature.

Check out the News & Events link to the left to see where you can find me on the web this month.  

Thanks for stopping in, take care, and happy reading!

Oh, and don't forget, Chasin' Mason (the book) is available now!

After seeing a newspaper article about a cemetery walking tour, I was inspired to write:


IF TOMBSTONES COULD TALK ~*~
Available Now
 

History aficionado Melanie Sparks takes a walking tour of the cemetery in her new Colorado town and learns more about one of the past residents than she ever could've imagined. The story behind Andrew Lindeman's tragic death during the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush in 1859 triggers dreams in which she relives his last moments. She’s drawn closer to the handsome ghost while she resolves to clear his tarnished name. A passionate kiss sets his spirit free, but will Melanie lose her heart for good?

A story told at my mom and dad's rummage sale sparked the idea for my Christmas novella:

DRAGONFLY DREAMS ~*~ Available Now

 

Jake Coburn’s antique shop is barely surviving, so the last thing he should do is buy costume jewelry at a price that won’t turn much profit. Then again, it’s Christmas, and he hasn’t been able to say no to Loral Evans since the first time she entered his shop almost a year ago.

Loral’s mother is a cancer survivor, and much as they don’t want to sell their family heirlooms, surgery and prescriptions aren’t cheap. Jake’s offer of one thousand dollars for a dragonfly brooch that Loral knows is fake stings her pride, especially since he knows she can’t afford to walk away.

Selling the brooch, which is more than it appears, turns out to be a blessing in disguise. During a season of giving, Loral learns there’s a big difference between pride and dignity, and Jake’s determination to do the right thing brings rewards beyond what either of them ever dreamed of.
