Working on edits this morning. There is a gassy doberman underneath this blanket.
Lordy
Constantly amazed at my friends who have the ability to write in spite of the shitshow dumpster fire that is our country and society. #wellplayed
Flashback Friday. My very first book! A paranormal that won a few awards, and opened the door to this remarkable writing journey. 😊📚
Woot! And I have an autographed copy!
I’m enjoying the last few days of loafing before I get my edits. Doing a lot of reading. Almost done with On The Island. What’s everyone else reading?
I just finished Ocean at the End of the Lane. Before that was your new book (great by the way) and now I'm reading Edge of Eternity.

I got book mail today! I love book mail! 😍
Always a great day!
Yay! How exciting. Congratulations.🍾
Everybody, TANNER’S PROMISE is free right this hot minute! Just in time for the weekend. 😌📚😍
How’s everyone doing?? I’m between books, so I’ve been doing a lot of reading and movie watching. Pretty nice, but I’m beginning to miss my writing routine. 🤓
I'm finally starting to do a little writing again. I haven't felt the urge at all. Now I need to plant my butt in my chair and actually finish a book. I've got several going, which could be part of the problem. Lack of focus.
Me too - I'm plotting - but very lethargically. I need to start writing!
Pretty good, been reading quite a bit and short walks
Happy Mother’s Day to anyone who’s ever nurtured another being. You make the world a better place! 💗
You too Kaylie!
Starting the day off with dog kisses. Happy Thursday!
Wow! Your hair is long, Rapunzel. xoxo
😂 your pouty face tho
I turned my book in, which means I’m officially on vacation until edits come! Which means I’m sitting here eating chocolate chips right out of the bag and watching The Bridges of Madison County. Fun fact: after the Spousal Unit and I were first married, we lived in Iowa for a year. We toured the house where the movie was made, and I got to sit in Francesca’s bathtub. 😳🔥
Good work! Iowa was a special place ❤️
Congrats!!
Working on revisions this Sunday morning. Soooo close to turning this book into my lovely editor. When I do, wine will be had. 🍷🍷🍷🍷
I can pre-read and sip with you via Skype
It’s here! BETTING ON THE BULL RIDER is out in the world today! I really love this book for lots of reasons, but one of the main ones is how Alice and Jake, two complete opposites, fall so hard for each other. ❤️ If you pick it up, be sure to let me know what you think! Hearing from my readers is my favorite thing.
Anyone out there heard of drunk revisions? Asking for me.
Perhaps the best kind.
The best way to brilliance!
I've done 'em. 😀
I FINALLY finished my book! Today I’m going to start the inevitable revisions, but this is my favorite part. I love polishing it up until it shines. 😊✨
Did I say I was close to finishing my book? I really meant I was going to sit on the couch, binge on chocolate chip cookies, and watch the neighbors de-moss their roof through the window. 🤷🏻♀️
Power washing at its finest! Slow process with great results. A procrastinator’s dream.
I feel your pain. I have to keep going to the window to check on how my neighbors new skirting around their house is coming along.
Eating chocolate chip cookies and getting fat
I’m thiiiiiis close to finishing my book today! 👌🏼🤓
Are u done now? How about now? Now? Xoxo
Accurate!
Dinner with weird vibes 😆
It's like I'm a freaking hobbit.
More like day 3...!!! 😆
It’s pretty hard being creative right now, but I’m on deadline, so there’s no choice. I was only 60 words away from my goal today, and had to end up closing the computer after sitting there and staring at the screen for 20 minutes. My brain is TOAST. Sending love and positive thoughts to everyone! Xo ❤️
Maybe your readers can give advise with some prompts?? I’d like to add to some sex scenes!! Lol
Here’s some happy news! Tule is having a sale for St. Paddy’s Day! ☘️ I hope all my readers and friends are staying safe and well. Love to you all!
I’m reading the most fascinating book right now called The Blue Tattoo. It’s about Olive Oatman, who was kidnapped at 14 years old, and spent five years with the Mohave who raised her as their own. They tattooed her chin, which was a Mohave tradition. It’s such an interesting story, that I’m having a hard time putting it down. What’s everyone else reading right now? ❤️📚
ALmost finished with Before We Were Yours.
Going to do a two week unit on this book. Re-reading to freshen up.
I just started The Big Kahuna by Janet Evanovich
There's a series on Netflix called "Hell on Wheels" and there's a female character with this tattoo. hellonwheels.fandom.com/wiki/Eva_Toole
Fun fact: this house is where my writing journey began. In 2008 I wanted to submit a short story for a Halloween writing contest. I kept passing this old beauty, built in 1913, on my way to and from home. It was always for sale. People would move in, only to weirdly leave a year or so later. Even stranger was that in between owners, it would stay on the market for months at a time. No nibbles. No nothing. So one day, some plot bunnies came knocking. What if a real estate agent didn’t *really* want to sell a house? What if what they really wanted was to terrify the potential buyers into never setting foot on the property again? So one blustery night in early October, I parked my car in the driveway, left it running for the heater (and also so I could be ready, because serial killers) and wrote my very first short story for a contest. The Showing. It won first place that year. I got a t-shirt and a mug. 😏 12 years and 15 books later, this house is still for sale. I’m sure it’s haunted. With a few stories of its own to tell. ❤️
I love that house. Would love to see the inside
Bob Cortelyou and I walked the outside of the house...and it sure has a vibe. And an odd smell comes from basement!
Where is it?
Wow
Throwback Thursday! LUKE’S GIFT, which has been optioned for a movie. This is the second story in my Harlow Brothers Series, which is one of my very favorites. 📚❤️
Congratulations! It'll make a great movie
This is the face of someone who just spent 10 minutes pulling a hair clog from her kids’ bathtub drain in order to put off working on her book this morning. Procrastination expert: Level 10. 💅🏻✨
You’re hair is growing nicely! So cute. ☺️
Look at those beautiful locks!!
Nice! Your hair looks great, if that is any consolation!
😂 I’ve sooo been there. 😂
I’m reading Where’d You Go, Bernadette, and loving it. So funny and creative! What’s everyone else reading? 🤓📚
The Girl with the Louding Voice. Good so far.
I’m about to finish Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb. It’s been really interesting. Recommend!
I so wanted to read it before watching the movie, but insomnia made me watch it last week. Loved it! I will definitely read the book.
I loved that one!!!
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See
Just finished writing for the day with my four-legged writing buddy. Can I get an amen?? 🐾
so true!
Amen!
Whew! Got my writing in, and now I’m excited for a day off tomorrow. Hoping it’ll be spent watching movies and eating a donut or two. 🎬🍩✨✨
Happy Valentine’s Day to the best readers EVER! May the chocolate be plentiful, and the books be sexy. 💝📚
Happy Valentines Day
Sexy cause I'm reading YOURS!! 💛💛

Woohoo! I can’t wait!!!!
Sweet! Just did it
Just did my one click
The Spousal Unit and I just introduced our girls to Good Will Hunting. Our work here is done. 🎬✨✨
Went to my parents’ the other day and we looked through some old family pictures. This is my dad on the left in the cute little shorts. Isn’t he adorable? ❤️ This was taken at the beginning of the Great Depression. About 40 years later, he’d become a copy writer and my hero.
Awwwwww!
I was planning on taking today off (I’m trying to take Sundays off to refill the creative well a bit), but I need to write two blurbs, and the characters started talking to me this morning. A very good thing! So Super Bowl Sunday will be Super Blurb Sunday for me. 😬 Happy day!
Get it done!
Rest In Peace, Mary Higgins Clark. Thank you for the stories. ❤️
No!!! 😭
No way. 💔
BETTING ON THE BULL RIDER is coming in April, and I’m so ridiculously excited for you guys to meet Jake and Alice! 💗
I can’t keep up with all your books! 👏👏👏
Can't wait! Will you be doing a pre order?
Had a good writing day! Now I get to reward myself with some reading time. This book is taking a while to get through because it’s scary and I can only read it when the sun is up. 😳 True story.
What are you reading?
Happy day!!! I signed the contract today for Book One in my Cole Brothers Series for Tule. And I used my lucky pen that my brother gave me after I wrote my very first book. ❤️ I’m so excited!
Congratulations!
Congrats
Happy day! Can’t wait to get into these!
Congrats!
Congrats!
🥳
How many brothers are there? How about a dozen?
🙂
Thanks to my buddy Michelle for this one! #accurate 😏
🤣🤣🤣 I mean Ross is vintage sexy, so... 🤷♀️😍
This is my life when I cook for my family. I feel like I’m the #pinterestfail board. 🤣
I LOVE my current Stephen King book. But I’m too terrified to read it after dark. 🤔 #horrorproblems
Which one?
I hear ya!
Just read a review (I try not to read reviews, but who am I kidding) where a lovely reader said she was feeling a bit down, and my story helped her feel happy again. Really, this is all I could ever want in a review. 💕
The ONE downside. 😏📚
Maybe reading something really exciting would make you jump up and down! Kinda like when I’m doing laundry and I find money in my husbands pockets...😂
We’d all be thin!!! But then you already look great!
Also, scrolling FB. Just saying 👍
I wish there was a yoga with books workout. I could totally show up for that.
Edits on the agenda today. 🤓 Hope you guys have a great Friday Eve!
Me, too! Hang in there! <3
Just starting my work week tonight
I'm working on line edits too.
This is me. Getting ready to start a new book and looking slightly terrified because I’m always afraid I will have forgotten how to do it. #sendchocolate
I think you look supremely capable.
You got this! You will knock this one out of the park! 😉
I do know that feeling, Kaylie! You have so got this as you always do! Write it, baby! 😉
Um...that's my face, too!
Let me help you. “Once upon a time....”
Happy New Year, everyone! 🎊🎊 I start a new book tomorrow, which will be the first of a three book series. This one is called The Cole Brothers- about a retired rock star who moves to a small town to open up a music store, and to try and rebuild his relationship with his three sons. Very excited about this one! 😊 Xo
I like, l like. We have to do lunch some January day. I feel like I’m talking to myself trying to tell you stuff.
Happy New Year! Sounds interesting
Sounds exciting!!
Love the premise!
Nice!
I love mature characters with history and experience to bring to a fresh story.
🤷🏻♀️
Rocky ate raw eggs. Raw cookie dough should be part of every training plan.
Have eaten it for years and never got sick. It’s delicious
Love raw cookie dough
Happy holidays, friends! I hope wherever you are, you feel the warmth of the season, and are able to enjoy it with those you love. ❤️
Same to you.
Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas
Happy Friday! I cannot believe Christmas is next week! For the first time in *years* I got my wrapping done early (usually I do it on Christmas Eve, because procrastination). I now plan on filling up that free time with copious amounts of Christmas movies. 😬🎄✨
I started wrapping yesterday. It’s a slow process for me! Plus, Dash is not above helping “unwrap” what I put under the tree. 😆
I was in the mood for While You Were Sleeping last night. Ended up watching Quantum Leap instead. Ah well.
