IMG 1031

Hello Friends, I'm headed to England and Scotland this month, researching and soaking up all I can learn there! I'll be traveling with my good friend and fellow author, Cathy Gohlke. We'll meet Liz Curtis Higgs and a group of 35 women for the Scotland portion of the trip. I'm excited to share this adventure with friends!

In my writing - Where Two Hearts Meet just released. Keep reading for a special sale on that title! I've turned in the revisions for The Daughter of Highland Hall, Book 2 in the Edwardian Brides Series. It arrives on bookshelves in October 7th. Now I'll be working on Book 3, A Refuge at Highland Hall, which will be set during World War One in England and comes out Fall 2015.

Here's what I've been reading:
The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn, by Lori Benton: A beautifully written historical romance set on the frontier in North Carolina. I real page-turner!

Meant to Be Mine, by Becky Wade: I loved the characters in this contemporary romance! I was very wrapped up in their journey!

Edenbrooke: A Proper Romance, by Julianne Donaldson: A lovely Regency Romance by an author who is new to me. It's so good I am reading it a second time to learn from her!
