• News! EMBRACE THE ROMANCE: PETS IN SPACE 2!

    I’ve been sitting on this news since January! Seriously, I’ve been dying! And then we got the cover and I had to sit on that! (Isn’t it pretty???) When Veronica Scott and I decided to do Pets in Space, we had no idea what an amazing journey we’d begun. The partnership with HeroDogs (such a…

  • Getting My Print On

    In between shaking down my muse for words, I’ve been working on getting all my books into print. Okay, I know some of them have been “in print,” as used editions for a long time. A really long time. And I won’t blame you at all if you pull up my books, look at pricing,…

  • Squirrels With Dissenting Opinions

    Since the release of Pets in Space, we’ve been all about the pets around here, but I have not only been owned by domestic pets.

  • These are a few of her favorite things…

    People close to me know that there are a few non-negotiables in my life. I will always have pets. (My husband is slightly allergic to cats. Yet, he puts up with them because he knows I love them. We compromise, and have Bengals, a cat breed with a different kind of coat and dander from…
