Yes, beloved Kate and I sport the floral yellow this season…       I didn’t happen to have a baby in the last week, but other than that the comparison is really clear. I even have a royal blue-wearing companion to offset my yellow! (get it, royal blue? okay, back to my peon existence…)...

I’ve now had a number of different events to support Haunted’s launch and many photographs to share. I’m a month away from the final draft of Betrayed (Book 2!) going to my editor. She liked the draft I sent her after my perilous journey into snow country to work on it, and now I have the chance to make the changes I’d like to make, incorporate her suggestions and take the opportunity to embed any hints for...

I’ve been remiss in posting photographs from the night Haunted launched. We had a standing-room only crowd (literally: I had brought extra chairs and the very charming bookstore owner Tina urged me not to put them out: clever lady) and I felt so happy to see people I knew from so many different areas of my life: other writers, mom friends, runner buddies, history buffs, and even some nice strangers.

Haunted is officially out in the world–and I had to celebrate. My husband took me to brunch at a neat old European bakery, and then we continued along to Barnes & Noble to see it on the shelves. Next I’m excited to hit Face in a Book, my indie bookstore that is hosting my launch and has been my go-to bookstore since we moved to this area. Here’s the first book I officially signed in a bookstore. I’m glad I...
