November 2015 Update
What I'm writing: Currently working on a connected novel to the Boston-set baseball book OUT OF HIS LEAGUE. This will be Ashley's story (the heroine's sister).
What's on pre-order: THE SECRET BETWEEN THEM is coming out in April. This is a Wallis Point, NH connected book. Here's the back cover blurb:
"Otis the Cat" update: Otis's illness this summer was caused by poisoning of some type (pesticides?). With the help of a great veterinarian and lots of TLC, he rallied. He's 15, but still going strong.
What's on pre-order: THE SECRET BETWEEN THEM is coming out in April. This is a Wallis Point, NH connected book. Here's the back cover blurb:
They share more than a past
Wounded, weary and wiser, ex-marine 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.

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.

Hello, Readers!
What's New This Season: A sweet Christmas romance in large print, and a French-language winter skier romance in hardcover!
Christmas at Prescott Inn is my first Harlequin Heartwarming-published romance novel. If you like sweet Christmas romances, New England country inns in the mountains, figure-skating holiday shows, reunion romances, plus homeless cats adopted by kids, then this might be the story for you!
Here's the back cover copy:
She’s back in his life…
But will they end up under the mistletoe?
Emilie O’Shea and her figure-skating troupe find themselves homeless…until a Christmas miracle lands them at a quaint inn in New Hampshire. Emilie is excited—then she discovers the inn’s scrooge-like owner is her ex-fiancé, Nathan Prescott. With assistance from a little boy, an adorable cat and her skaters, Emilie helps Nathan find hope in the season…and hope in their future.
The second book published this season is a French-language reprint of Something to Prove, a downhill skier romance. Something to Prove is still available in e-books, while Un Week-end de Fete is available in both hardcover and e-book versions.
