November already? Crunchy leaves on the lawn. The first chill of autumn and Thanksgiving right around the corner. I’m up to my eyeballs in menu ideas and shopping lists, but you know what I’m really looking forward to is the release of Perennials coming November 14 from my friend Julie Cantrell. I smile every time I see this gorgeous cover. …
Contest Season: Soaring with A FLYING AFFAIR
This is contest season for those whose books came out in 2015. Books, entry forms, and money (to support all manner of contests prizes) are sent in during the bleak months of December through February when I’m usually in a sort of winter funk. Should I enter this one or that one? What if I don’t final? Do book awards …
A *STAR* for the New Year / GIVEAWAY
Happy New Year, dear readers! After a rather skinny 2015 on the blog here, I’m back and hoping to offer you some great reading, interviews of authors you love, insights into my writing life, more giveaways, and whatever else crops up in this new year. First up, I can’t think of a better way to start off than with Susan …
Sweet Deal for You
November already??? How is that possible? Here the days are crisp and I find myself spending more time on the patio, book in one hand, coffee in the other. Book in hand meaning either the real physical one with pages OR my new iPhone 6 that has a quite-readable screen and is loaded with books on my Kindle App. Which …
The Great Fall Giveaway
Autumn is here, and isn’t it wonderful? I love the crisp chill of the morning, the pile of crackly leaves at the corner gate, sweaters, long stretches on the patio as I sip my coffee and slip into the pages of a great book. And this week, I’m thrilled to have partnered with an amazing group of writers for a …
Come Fly With Me Giveaway
Today’s the day. The birthday of A Flying Affair. This is always a moment when I hold my breath. I’ve no choice but to let my book baby go, and yet, there’s always that niggle of apprehension. Can it fly on its own? Will people like it? Oddly enough, I couldn’t be more thrilled to introduce you to Mittie and …
Brave Women of the Skies
As we inch closer to the release date of A Flying Affair, I’d like to introduce you to some of the “real” women who appear in the book. It’s always my pleasure to sprinkle historical facts into my stories so that you can imagine yourself along with the characters in the Roaring Twenties. Not all of these women appear in …
Lucky Lindy Making History
A Flying Affair releases in six days!! I’m giddy with anticipation of letting this one fly into reader’s hands. What a labor of love to spend most of the last two years in the Roaring Twenties, a good bit of that imagining myself soaring through the air in the open cockpit of a Curtiss Jenny. It’s been a wild ride! …
Putting on the Ritz and Sharing the Love With a Giveaway
I’ve been contemplating a website makeover for a while – it’s like getting a new outfit or hair-do – it feels great and has the added bonus of being more reflective of what websites are supposed to do. Namely to let folks know who I am and get a feel for my books when they visit. My old design was …
