My Favorite Valentine's Day Present
An excellent review of The Betrayal of the Blood Lily on Dear Author. That beats a box of chocolates any day.
Read MoreHappy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day, all! As someone pointed out earlier today, this is a holiday tailor-made for the Pink series– pink accessories anyone? I will be donning my traditional pink sweater and drinking my traditional pink mocha in honor of the day. Looking back, I realized I’ve done more than a few Valentine’s Day interviews and…

What with all the running around, I completely forgot about Teaser Tuesday! So, to make up for it, we’ll have both Teaser Tuesday this week AND some sort of Valentine’s Day treat on Monday…. I’ll let you know as soon as I figure out what it will be.

One of the perks of book tour is the book recs. Huge thanks to Corey at the Union Station B&N and Barbara Peters of the Poisoned Pen for making my bag even heavier than it already would be by suggesting books and authors I wouldn’t have thought of. I now have a long, long list…

Despite the best efforts of the snow, I will be reading at the Borders in Bailey’s Crossroads in Virginia tonight at 7:30. Take that, precipitation! If my train gets in on time, I’ll be hanging around the B&N in Union Station from about 4:30 to 5:30 to sign anything you might like me to sign.…
Read MoreORCHID gets an "A" from AAR
We all have our own things we covet. A promotion, a latte, a word of praise from a specific individual. For me, it was Desert Isle Keeper status on All About Romance. After all, what higher praise could a writer crave than being *that* book, the book chosen above all others for tropical exile? Books…
