I’m currently working on A Room with a Dude, a rom-com that, for the first time in a long time, does not feature a hockey player. I LOVE what I’ve written so far. Here are five random things in the book so far:1. A canine mishap at the Oscars2. A taciturn, Japanese-American pro surfer3. A fixer-upper hotel with a nostalgic link to Hollywood4. A madcap, sassy ex-maid masquerading as a hotel man Read more of this blog post »

Kate’s Quotes

“That's a dumb-ass idea." She was too angry to curb her mouth. "You're a dumb-ass." She tried to kick and got nowhere. "Even Jesus thinks you're a dumb-ass.”
― Cherise Sinclair

“Why would you go on a pirate dinner cruise?” He had to know.

Her jaw dropped. “Are you kidding me? Why wouldn’t you go on a pirate dinner cruise? There’s pirates and dinner. And you get to say ‘argh’ and ‘matey’ while drinking lots of rum without anyone looking at you funny.” Her breath caught. “Maybe one of them will even have a real parrot!”

Perhaps he’d overestimated her—just a little.”
― Elle Rush, Puerto Vallarta Sunsets
