A short description about your blog

Sadly, Murphy seems to have taken up permanent residence around here this spring. Things started going wrong with a computer crash in early February, and the troubles continue. Not all is bad, though. It seldom is. My youngest daughter just graduated from high school and she's full of excitement, hope and promise, eagerly working toward the next stage of her life: college. Okay, I admit it makes me feel old. But it also carries me back to the time when everything was possible, because no irrevocable choices had been made yet. I just hope she keeps all her options open as long as

For those of you with an interest in the Conard County backlist, NIGHTHAWK is scheduled to be published again next year. It's the story of a man, once unjustly accused of a crime, who finds love just over the fence of his ranch with a woman who hides from the world because she's crippled and frightened. A troublesome sheep brings them together for a passionate ride as they help each other past old wounds and into a place where they can

HER HERO IN HIDING

The newest Conard County book, HER HERO IN HIDING, is scheduled for release in June, which means it should be on shelves soon.
A woman who is fleeing from an abusive ex-boyfriend who has stalked her all over the country and finally kidnapped her, is found staggering alongside a Conard County road in the midst of a snowstorm. She is near death from hypothermia and a crusty former Special Ops soldier turned hermit and writer, rescues her.
The boyfriend is still after her, though, and our hero, much as he hates the invasion of his privacy, instinctively dedicates himself to using his


I'm sorry I haven't kept up to date. We had a houseful of company for nearly two months, my computer died, and waiting for the warranty replacement seemed to take forever.
THE MAN FROM NOWHERE is available now, in stores, and if you can't find it there, I'm sure you can get it on Amazon or at Harlequin. I hope you love the story of a man who comes to Conard County on a mission, driven by demons, to save the life of a woman he doesn't even know.
My dad passed away two days ago, not unexpected, but sad all the same. Unfortunately, the very next morning, and very unexpectedly, our dog


I'm not prepared. Of course. Haven't even started shopping yet, although it's going to be a very slim Christmas. At least all my kids are old enough now to understand. Old enough now to take delight in the fact that we will all be together. :)

I'm signing a new three-book contract for Conard County this month, and Silhouette is thinking about trying to get out three new CC books each year. I rather like that idea, because I know myself that when I like a series I don't like to wait too long for the next volume.

Some time in late January THE MAN FROM NOWHERE will hit the shelves. I

Happy Thanksgiving! :)

Sorry it's been so long since last I posted. There's a shortage of news, and Murphy's Law has been running my life.

If it's not one thing, it's another. First the air conditioning--while it was still too hot to work without it -- then the water heater, and now the water softener. I'm looking cross-eyed at my stove, too, because it managed to burn a pizza last week, and the timer on it has given up the ghost. No, I don't think I'm ready for that.

The second Nocturne is moving finally. Had to throw out a hundred pages because something wasn't right, and I couldn't figure out what.


I finished my first Nocturne and had so much fun with it that I'm really looking forward to writing the next one.

I have started a proposal for a new Conard County book, tentatively titled THE FINAL MISSION. A female NCIS investigator comes to Conard County to tell a rancher that his medic wife was not killed in a hostile ambush in Iraq as he was told. His wife had also been working as an informant for NCIS, and the agent believes she was murdered. Emotions will run high in this one.

I will have two books coming out in February. The first and most important will be THE MAN FROM

Good news :)

The dog I wrote about in my last blog was rescued by animal control. :)

As soon as I could find several hours (because I knew it wouldn't happen fast) I went back out there with treats, hoping to entice him close enough to get a looped leash around his neck. I couldn't keep him, but I could get him to a rescue society.

Except he was gone. I looked everywhere, waited for a while then went home. A call to animal control told me that they had managed to catch him. How? This time they went out with tasty treats and didn't let him see the catch pole until he was eating.

I am so


I don't know who you are, and I don't know much about you. But I do know something very important:

Your faithful, loyal friend is waiting for you right beside the road where you left him. He's not looking very good right now. His ribs are sticking out enough that you can see them at 45 mph as you pass. It's obvious he hasn't eaten in a long time, and just as obvious that he hasn't been brushed in months.

He stands there right on the shoulder, panting in the Florida heat, watching every car that approaches. He's looking for you.

Other people stop and try to help. But he darts

Been sick <sigh>

I hate this. I spent nearly the first 50+ years of my life with unassailable good health. No longer. I've reached a stage of existence where I actually can discuss the pros and cons of a variety of antibiotics with my doctor.

"Oh that one makes me cranky."

"That one gives me heart palpitations."

"That one keeps me from sleeping."

I have a friend who needs a platelet donation right now, and I can't give because I'm taking antibiotics. What's with this?

Which is not to say I never got ill in the past. No, I had some major crises, like polio when I was a toddler, and I lost
