If you are reading this post, then you’re seeing my new website. 🙂
I absolutely love the new look: the sage and the purple, the pop of color in the flowers, the book, and (of course) the tea!
I give the credit to Emily at Swank Web Design. She does amazing work, don’t you think?

I bid a fond farewell to an amazing 2014–the year THE WALLFLOWER WEDDING SERIES came out, the year I hit the USA TODAY Bestseller’s List, the year I signed a contract for another Regency Era series with Avon Impulse, and the year I met my agent. 2014 has been very good to me and I’ve been blessed in so many ways. <3
Yet, I’m so excited about 2015, too!!! THE RAKES OF FALLOW HALL SERIES will be coming out soon!!! I’m currently in stages of either writing or editing . As I work on them, each book becomes my new favorite, each hero becomes my new obsession. What can I say? I love rakes. 😀 I hope you will, too.
The Avon art department is full of incredibly talented people. Proof of this is the cover for THE ELUSIVE LORD EVERHART. They’ve really outdone themselves this time. What do you think?
Wishing you a year full of joy, love, and great books!

This year, I’ll be attending my first RWA National Conference. I’ll also be flying to Texas for the first time. To say that I’m nervous would be putting it mildly. I’m at defcon 4 on the nervous scale.
My youngest, bless his heart, tries to give me pep talks. “Don’t worry. Just teach yourself how not to be an introvert.”
“It doesn’t work on a switch,” I tell him. He laughs before heading out the door to hang out with his friends. Click “on” for life-of-the-party. Click “off” for curling-up-in-a-dark-cave.
Nervousness aside, I’m excited, too. This is THE conference, after all. I’ve been wanting to attend for years and years. This time, I’m going to make it happen. I anticipate numerous fangirl moments where I’ll simply stare at my favorite authors without trusting myself to say a word for fear of uncorking the random flow of trivia that tends to runneth over when I’m nervous. Example: when I met Tessa Dare, I spoke to her for 5 minutes about the differences between left handed people and right handed people.
So, yeah, it’ll be better if I just smile and not say a word. Wish me luck!
