MOSAIC Writing Cave #Break!

Hey, reader-friends!

The good news, which I know you'll be glad to hear, is I'm in the writing cave working hard to finish Mosaic for June!

The bad news is I'm going to have to put the blog on a mini-break in the meantime until I finish.

I'll update with the cover reveal as soon as I have it, but in the meantime, all my writing energy is focused on getting this last book in the series out.

I know you understand, and trust me, I see your emails, Facebook posts, tweets, etc., asking me to hurry up--LOL!

I will say, since it's the last book in the series, I really want it to be "right." Also, I'm really loving grown up Julian, Anna, and Jack. Can't wait to share them with you.

While the blog is on a break, please visit my Facebook page (link), where I'll continue posting daily and giving status updates and teasers.

On May 24, you can Meet Me and a bunch of other fantastic authors at the Cincy Author Event (link)!

And if you would, please leave a short, sweet review for my books on Amazon (link) if you like them! Reviews help your favorite authors more than you know.

Updates and a Break... #NoFooling

Happy April 1!

I always want to do funny April Fool's jokes, but *blerg*... My jokes are either way obvious, or I start laughing and give the whole thing away.

Have any of you guys fallen for funny April Fool's jokes? Played any?

Well, no fooling, last week was intense...

First, I traveled 850 miles south to my old hometown for spring break. While I was there visiting family and friends, I met with librarians in Daphne and Fairhope, AND I discovered a new writer-friend living in the area!

Many of you are fans of NYT bestselling author Abbi Glines. I discovered she lives in Fairhope, and after a few email chats, we decided to do a book signing together. It was loads of fun.

On Amazon

Author Steph Campbell joined us--you might remember how much I loved her book My Heart For Yours (link), which she co-wrote with my close friend, cover designer, and author Jolene Perry. (I raved over it in this post, link. It's a must read.)

Last week, I started the process of making an audiobook for The Truth About Faking. I'll keep you posted on that new project. Very exciting.

But most importantly, my sweet hubs JRM was hit by a car while jogging. Yes. Majorly scared us all.

His right tibia was broken, which is painful and means he'll be on crutches for three months, but we are so thankful he wasn't hurt worse.

That break news brings me to MY break news--it's time for my annual April blogging break. I have a few promotional posts for friends going up, but otherwise, I'll be offline.

I'm so excited, though... I've decided to revise my very first book Dragonfly and its sequel for late-May/early-June release. It's a contemporary romance that I think you'll really like. I'll have to postpone Rouge #2 and 21 Days until later in the year, but my hope is you'll be happy with the result...

I will be keeping up on Facebook, and I'll def. post some teaser-excerpts as possible while I'm in the cave, although taking care of my sweet, invalid husband is going to make my schedule interesting.

It's A-Z month! Many of you are participating, so have fun with it! I'll be around, I'll be thinking of you guys, and I plan to be back with something great.

Have a super month, reader- and writer-friends~ <3

Same Bat Channel...

Tune in tomorrow for a special post. In the meantime, I #amediting.

Check out WriteOnCon (link)!

I'm back tomorrow; have a great day, reader- and writer-friends! <3

Happy Independence Day!

I hope my fellow Americans are having a terrific holiday with family and friends. It's a great time to think about history and freedom and what those concepts really mean.

Hmm... that sounds terribly serious, and I don't mean it that way. Think about those things in a fun way while enjoying yourself.

I also hope my non-American friends have a wonderful week and weekend.
I'm away at the moment, but I'll be back next week with something deep and meaningful. Or something, at least!

Have a great holiday, reader- and writer-friends~ <3

Be Right Back!

I'm actually out of town this week, but I'll be back Thursday.

Don't do anything major while I'm away!

Okay, you can do something major. Just nothing super-fun. Or if it's fun, I want to hear all about it when I get back. With pictures...

Have a great week, reader- and writer-friends!

Til Thursday~ <3

Thanksgiving Break

Wow, the end of the year is zooming toward us. The holidays are here, it's time for family and for gifts... I haven't even started Christmas shopping yet. (o.m.g.)

I have to take off this week. Family's in town, the girls are out of school, and, well, I'm sure many if not all of you are in the same boat.

I'm so thankful for you, writer friends, for readers, for family, for good health, and for having the freedom to pursue an occupation I love. Even if it can be crazy sometimes.

Happy Thanksgiving, reader-and writer-friends. Til Monday~ <3

On Hiatus!

The longer version is in Monday's post (link), basically I've got to unplug for June. I'm in the process of a major relocation, but I will be back July 14!

Until then, enjoy your summer!

I'm thinking of you guys~ <3

Be Here Tomorrow!

Hey, guys! I'm winging my way back from Indianapolis, where I've been house-hunting and spending time with my sweet hubby. I'll be back tomorrow with something inspirational, I hope.

If not, I'll go for funny.

If not funny, I'll at least try for jarring. :D

Miss you all, hope you had a great weekend! Til tomorrow~ <3

I'll be Back

It's Monday, but I'm all tied up.

No, I'm not on the run from a hostile alien cyborg sent from the future to kill me before I have a baby who may or may not end up being his own grandpaw.

That part's a little fuzzy in my memory.

A silly work situation's requiring all my hours through today. It's part of the reason I haven't been able to make the rounds since Thursday.

I'm sorry.

But I'm thinking of you, and I miss your funny thoughts and insights.

In the meantime, say a little prayer, send some positive vibes, etc., this way. I'll update you ASAP!

Until Thursday, if not sooner~  <3
