February 2015 Update
What I'm writing: Currently starting another story in Wallis Point, NH--first visited in THE LONG WAY HOME.
Also awaiting line edits for SECRET GARDEN, publishing August 1, 2015. This is Rhiannon's story--the sequel to THE SWEETEST HOURS and SCOTLAND for CHRISTMAS. It's my Scotland-castle-agoraphobic story, with a Texan pro-golfer hero and a friends-to-lovers storyline.
My skating hobby update: Coach Sveta started choreography on my OUTLANDER program. Yes, OUTLANDER!
"Otis the Cat" update: Otis is feeling cold, grumpy and housebound during this long New England winter. Normally an outdoor cat, Otis hates using his indoor litter box, but he's had no choice due to the extremely cold weather.

April 2016 Update
What's New: THE SECRET BETWEEN THEM releases today in paperback. This is a Wallis Point, NH, connected book:
What I'm working on now: Currently finishing revisions for THE GOOD MOM, a follow-on story to OUT OF HIS LEAGUE. This will be up for preorder soon, with a to-be-published date of October 2016.
How is Otis the cat? Fantastic, thanks for asking! :-) He's 16 now and fully recovered from last summer's poisoning scare. Still primarily an outdoor cat, he hangs out on my desk with me only if the weather is bad.
They share more than a past
A Marine wounded, weary and wiser, Kyle Northrup had planned to stay far away from Wallis Point. But after his stepfather’s passing, he must return home and claim his unexpected inheritance: the ice rink he grew up on.
Except he has to share ownership with Jessica Hughes, the hometown girl who got away and whose figure skating career he ended. He’d hoped the rink would save him once more, as it had when he was a grief-stricken youth, but working with Jessica will be hard.
Especially since his teenage infatuation is now full-blown adult attraction. And the last thing he wants to do is hurt Jessica again.
