It’s Only XXXX Days…

It’s that time of year again – the time when we are all playing the waiting game. The holidays are behind us and summer vacation is a long way off, and as such, we watch the calendar and count down the days until what we are waiting for is here.

Romance Novelists’ Day Out!

A few weekends ago, I went to go see the Fashioning Fashion exhibit at the LACMA, with a bunch of romance novelists.

Marga-frickin-RITAs!

I had a very cute, very demure post all planned out for this week before The Summer of You hits the shelves. It was, I kid you not, about the weather. But all of that went out the window, when on Thursday morning, I was awakened by a phone call… Continue reading
