Two Weeks to Deadline

It may look like I’m  in my office, but I’m actually living in 1960 rural North Carolina (only with air conditioning). I’m working like mad, so excuse me if I’m quiet on the blog for a while. I’ll see you next time I visit 2012!

Signing Books at Quarter Moon Books and Gifts!

How I love Quarter Moon Books! Every year, owner Lori Fisher has tweaked her wonderful Topsail Beach store in some exciting new way. This year, she added a patio out front where people can enjoy a smoothie or sip wine from the new wine bar. I love signing books at QMB because, in addition to…

Story Weekend: Warning Signs

First, just a quick mention for those of you in the US: Secret Lives is still in Kindle’s “100 Books Under $3.99” promotion and it’s priced at only $1.99. It’s been selling like the proverbial hot cakes and I love hearing from all my new readers.  Thanks for taking a chance on me! Now to…

Working with my Plant List

I think they did a great job of capturing the…

Chatting with my Readers

For those of you who missed it (and didn’t want to miss it!), here is the live chat I did through BookTrib.com last week. Readers could join in through a ‘chat roll’ and ask me questions. It’s an hour long, so watch as much or as little as you like. Enjoy!

The Printable Booklist for You!

Like the view? We just got in from the Surf City (NC) pier, where John filmed surfers and I snapped this shot with my phone. I’m allowed to play when I finish 4000 words each day. Deadline’s coming! But the real point of this post is to remind my readers that I have information on…

Publication Day: The Good Father is Here!

My favorite day of the year! After twelve months of plotting, writing, rewriting, and rewriting again, here it is: The Good Father! Usually I feel some anxiety along with excitement as I  wonder how my readers will respond to my new story, but the early reviews have been so enthusiastic that all I feel today…
