My husband and I have a deal. He follows me into quilt shops and I let him take a dirt road. We wind up with days like last Saturday that I started describing in my quilt blog. These are days that we get to be uniquely us, days that bring us closer together, days to love.
I’m happy to introduce Cheryl Gorman and her new contemporary romance, The Rancher and the Event Planner. I’m a big fan of contemporary romances, especially those with a western theme (probably has something to do with living in Montana)!

Let’s face it, wine and winemaking are entwined with romance. Books about winemakers and the life in Napa and Sonoma are popular. When my husband and I lived in California, we were entranced by the number of wineries around our home in Santa Cruz County. We were so engaged that we wrote a book about that historic region. We learned a lot about the winemaking process and how hard it is to own and operate a vineyard and winery. By the end of harvest in the fall, everyone is ready for a break, including the vines. Winter is a good . . . → Read More: Cycles of Life — Vineyard’s Spring
Tess stepped off the train in Billings, Montana on a dusty Saturday morning, freshly minted MFA in her hand, Karate black belt around her waist. Strangers. Everywhere. “How ‘bout I meet you for a drink tonight–seeing you’re new in town,” the taxi driver asked. Only one way to become friends. “Sure.” The bar was dingy, her new friend late. A cowboy-hatted stranger sat down next to her and started talking. The driver came in and crowded her other side. The next morning she got on the eastbound train, back to New York City. Strangers knew their place there. ———————– Enjoy . . . → Read More: Strangers — A Short Story

In December I finally wrote and sold the suspense story — my first. I received the cover from . . . → Read More: Suspense Story Inspiration
In my California Romance Series the heroes and heroines need to go through a change before they can get the love they want and deserve. I’ve found that through my own life, as well as with friends, that love only improves when you face and deal with your own demons. One of the reviewers of California Sunset hit the nail on the head when she said: “I guess it is a symbol of our country that adults are afraid to take a chance and stay locked in jobs they do not like just to keep . . . → Read More: Inspiration for Change to Find the Love You Deserve

Yesterday I had the privilege of being part of Kindle’s Daily Deal. It’s an opportunity that not everyone gets and a big thanks to my publisher, Crimson Romance, for getting me that slot for California Sunset. As the numbers shot up, I felt like a I was at a horse race. My aunt and uncle used to take me to a track somewhere in Pennsylvania across from where they lived in Titusville, New Jersey. We’d sit there in the almost empty stands, eating the occasional bad hotdog and spending a little bit on a bet here and . . . → Read More: Readers –Thank you

My travel foot is getting itchy. This Montana winter has been the winter that wasn’t–plenty of snow in the mountains, but not here in the Missoula Valley. The open road calls.
Admit it. You’ve loved just one in your life. They’re the cool guys…always living on the edge. The sex, when it comes, and it will, is going to be fast, furious and fulfilling. He’ll swear he loves you to the day he’d die, that he’ll change everything about him if you’ll only be his.
