We had some rain last night, and it washed all the smoke away. Today, I’m thankful for fresh, clean air and pretty skies. #authorsofinstagram #autumn #thursday
Reviewers, if you’d like to read my October release, give me a shout! 🤓📚 This is a sweet, Hallmarky-type romance, featuring a heroine with a grilled cheese food truck, and a hero who’s fostering his first rescue dog- a big, goofy bloodhound who will bring them both together. ❤️ #authorsofinstagram #readersofinstagram #booklovers #bookreviewersofinstagram #christmas #christmasromance #romanceblogger #readztule
Lady, you know I'd LOVE to read it!!!

Excellent series!
Pooka shells!
So cute! ❤️
This last week has been a tough one. I’m so looking forward to fall! 😬🎃 #authorsofinstagram #autumn #pumpkinspice #readersofinstagram
This was taken at our house Tuesday afternoon. By Wednesday morning, 80% of students in Phoenix, and 50% of students in Talent had lost their homes. Our little Oregon valley is gutted, heartbroken, suffering. These are families we know, whose kids have grown up alongside ours. They are our friends and neighbors. Many of them had to leave with only the clothes on their backs and are now sifting through the ashes, trying to locate anything from their homes, including precious pets. Hundreds of families here (1000 homes lost in Phoenix, 600 in Talent) have set up GoFundMe’s to try and raise enough money to meet their basic needs while they figure out how to start over. I’m going to post a list of families in the comments who are struggling to reach half their goal. If you could find it in your heart to give even a few dollars, or share with your friends, it would be so very appreciated. These are good people who will pay it forward when they can. #almedafire #oregonwildfires
It’s day seven of the #afallkissatmidnight challenge! A hero or heroine with an interesting job. I had to pick one of my own books here- Betting on the Bull Rider. It’s not because the hero rides bulls, which is interesting, definitely. But it’s because Alice, the heroine, is a funeral home director. This is a field of work that I’ve always found pretty fascinating. Morticians do important work. I wanted Alice to be able to introduce my readers to her world, and I wanted her to be layered and funny, sexy and sensual, and everything people might not think of right away when they think of a funeral home director. ❤️ #bookstagram #booklovers #readersofinstagram #readztule #authorsofinstagram #mortician #romancereader
Day six of #afallkissatmidnight challenge! Shelfie Sunday 🙂 My favorite bookshelf. Notice my adorable offspring right above my head, and our wedding picture next to them (20 years and counting!). Right behind me is my parents’ wedding picture (they’ve got us beat- 65 years this summer!). And then books. Lots and lots of books. 😍📚 #boostagram #authorsofinstagram #readztule #family #shelfie #booklovers #bookworm #shelfiesunday
Day five of the #afallkissatmidnight challenge! A book with a twist. This one was easy for me- nobody does twists better than Liane Moriarty! Nine Perfect Strangers is one of my favorites by her. Just a wonderful story. Who writes your favorite twists? 📚#boostagram #BookLovers #readersofinstagram #bookstagramchallenge #literature
My very first #footstackfriday! This is my Wolfe Creek series that was inspired by the real Wolf Creek Inn in Southern Oregon. 🐺🌙🖤 @wolfcreekinn #bookstagram #bookstagramchallenge #paranormal #authorsofinstagram #stillettos #red #booklover #shifters #spooky #werewolves
What a fab idea! I already own all three of those! #mustreadwolves
Awesome footstack and OMG! Love those shoes! I'm scared to try it because honestly, I don't have any shoes that are this cool. How would a footstack look with Birks or Skechers? 😉
Gotta love red shoes and books! ❤️ 📚
Just ordered all three!
Great series!
Reminds me of yours!!
It’s day three of the #afallkissatmidnight monthly challenge! Today’s prompt is a feel good book. And Where The Heart Is by Billie Letts happens to be one of my FAVORITE feel good books evah! Quirky, fun, heartwarming, and sometimes heartbreaking, it checks all my boxes. In fact, I love this book so much, my friends got me an autographed copy for a wedding present. 😊 #bookstagram #literature #booklover #bookstagramchallenge #readersofinstagram
It’s day two of #afallkissatmidnight challenge! Today’s prompt is a book to fall in love with. I read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith about 25 years ago, and it’s been on my favorites list ever since. In fact, we almost named our daughter Francie after the main character. What’s a book that you absolutely love? ❤️ #bookstagram #classic #literature #readersofinstagram #booklover
My favorites list has a different Betty Smith novel which I've been reading since my teen years: Joy in the Morning.
My favorite from the past few years is A Gentleman in Moscow.
The Good Earth, Pearl S. Buck
These are going on my TBR list!
Love that book!
Where The Crawdads Sing
Captain Corelli's Mandolin
Happy September 1st! Today is the first day of the #afallkissatmidnight monthly challenge! Day one is to introduce myself...
❤️ I live in Oregon, but went to college in tornado alley. Go, Southeastern!
❤️I have a blind, one-eyed doberman who thinks he’s a person. ❤️I’m a proud author of over 15 romances. ❤️I can still recite my lines from Romeo and Juliet from my 7th grade play. ❤️Stephen King is my idol, and also my pretend boyfriend. Since he doesn’t know I’m alive, I feel comfortable professing my love. ❤️I hate ice cream but my husband married me anyway. ❤️I love cheesy 80’s movies and TV. The cheesier, the better. #bookstagram #readztule #fall #romancebooks #authorsofinstagram #bookstagramchallenge
Wow, another gorgeous picture!
Beautiful!!!
Getting read for an early morning (kind of) walk with this yahoo! Orion and I have walked every day except a handful, since we adopted him three years ago. Walking has helped me plot books, stay in shape, clear my head, discover podcasts, and not kill my children. I love it so much! What exercise is good for your soul?
#authorsofinstagram #dobermansofinstagram #walkingthedog #podcasts #oregon #walks
Water aerobics❣ I can't walk for exercise due to arthritis in both knees but I enjoy the water. Water aerobics 4 mornings a week and walk laps in the pool twice a week for an hour.
I walk everyday with Gracie now that we live at the lake -- it is an awesome way to meditate and enjoy life. 🙂
Tennis and mountain biking and hiking!
A good run
We got paddle boards this summer, and we’re seriously in love! A great workout for my noodle arms. I’m even starting to see some muscle! I think. 🤔 #authorsofinstagram #paddleboarding #mondaymotivation #lakelife #writermom
I’m seriously jealous. That’s on my wishlist. One day...
Hanging with the oldest. 💗 #writersofinstagram #daughter #momlife #sundayfunday #family
Pretty...why do they have to grow up so quickly????
Aw. Our beautiful girls!
Mountain biked today, and I didn’t fall off a cliff! I love you, Oregon! #authorsofinstagram #mountainbiking #mountainlife #oregon
On one of our walks last year. I love summer, but this makes me excited for fall! #authorsofinstagram #dobermanlife #dobermansofinstagram #fridayvibes #happyfriday
So beautiful!
hate fall...to many leaves to clean up
In my current WIP, my heroine can’t cook, but will discover an old cookbook that will bring her and the hero together. Here’s my sweet mama with her favorite cookbook, which was the inspiration for this story. 😌💕 #authorsofinstagram #amwriting #romancebooks #readztule
I think your mama's version may be just a tad older than mine--mine is from 1973, I think. The year we got married. This is my go-to cookbook!
Handed down to my kids... 1957!!! 😱
my mom passed this cookbook down to me also!
I love this!! This is the cookbook of my memories of my grandma ❤️
What a great story line.
My momma had that one (and I inherited it!)
Oh I hope your heroine’s name is Vera ❤️
I have 3 Better Homes Cookbooks like that. The three cover 3 generations grandmother mom and mine that was a wedding gift. They are all a little different but all 3 have hand written notes. I treasure all 3.
Love it!!
I have that same book!!
The daughters at the coast last year. I’m ready to go back! #authorsofinstagram #oregoncoast #wednesdayvibes
We want to go too! ❤️
This photo is amazing! 😍
Coming in October! I’m excited about this one 🙂 #authorsofinstagram #readztule #tuesdayvibes #romancebooks
Ready for preorder?
Ooooh, can't wait to read it!!
Beautiful pic!
What a great picture. ❤️
Aw. Love this one!
Is this recent? Man, your hair has really grown out!! Sup cute!
❤️
You’re so pretty!
Kaylie, your hair is getting long! We should get together for a coffee or something. Maybe outside of your favorite bookstore? 😉
Walked at dawn with this one-eyed Willy. Now I’m going to spend the day finishing up my book. And by finishing my book, I mean procrastinating. #authorsofinstagram #dobermansofinstagram #dobermanlife #mondaymorning #romancebooks #readztule
Made me giggle. 😘
No lollygaggigng...finish that book! LOL
We can definitely do that together today. The procrastinating I mean.
I was out there, too - surprised I didn’t bump into you!
Hes a cutie
I didn’t write today, and now I’m having all the guilt. I meant to. Does that count?? 🤔
Early morning walk through the cemetery. So pretty, so peaceful. One of my favorite places to think. #authorsofinstagram #photooftheday #SaturdayMorning
I have had so many lovely "car" lunches there -- dates with my mom when she was still alive. 🙂
I love to walk in the Jville cemetery
I know where the groundskeeper spilled the fertilizer.
Today’s writing view. I was outside until it got too hot, and a bug fell down my bra.
A bug is better than a spider....generally speaking.
I was trimming roses yesterday...and got stung on my boob by a tiny wasp. Ouch! Still stings. 😉
The bug would have done it for me.
Eeeeew, that had to feel weird
And puppy snuggles!!
My publisher helped me come up a new title for my current WIP (the second in my Cole Brothers Series which launches in Oct). Montana Rancher’s Kiss! 💋 I’m so excited for this series. Can’t wait!
I’m about to watch Out of Africa, one of my all-time favorites. ❤️ Happy Friday, everyone!
I used to love visiting Karen Blixen's house in Denmark. Have you ever seen Babette's Feast? It's one of my favorite stories she wrote.
Love that movie
Ah yeah
What’s everybody reading? 📚
Facebook won’t let me love all these comments, which is driving me to distraction!
Where the Crawdads Sing
The Friendship List
The Yellow House
The lost vintage
I just read your question...
I picked up a historical romance before heading to the coast last week. It’s meh so far...
Kind of Kin by Rilla Askew
Last night, the rest of my book came to me. I can see the end. Have about six or seven scenes to go. I love this part! #colebrothers #montanasummerkisses ❤️
Woo-hoo. You're practically home free.
Must be a wonderful feeling!
Yay!!
😊❤️
Happy weekend! What’s everyone up to today?? I have a couple of good books on my agenda, and a date with the hammock. 😍
Babysitting today, I'll be wore out tomorrow
Cleaning pool and hanging out in it
Housework and grass cutting
Hung out with family yesterday at one of Oregon’s most beautiful lakes! I’d love to say I wrote while I was there, but I took the day off to refill the well. Back at it today!
Which lake?
Happy 4th to all my American friends! I got all my writing in this week, which means I’ll be sitting by my sister’s pool today with my family (socially distanced, of course). Have a great holiday, and stay safe! 💗
When the rain moves out we will do the same! Happy 4th! ❤️
I got a sneak peek at the cover for Montana Christmas Magic today! It’s soooo pretty! 😍
It’s magical and beautiful!
My sister sent me this. All writers know how it feels. 🙃
Am I bad person if I laughed? HA Ha ha... awe 🙁
I started a new book the other day! Wish me luck! 🤓📚 P.S. I’m in my writing uniform here- leggings with a hole in the butt, and a t-shirt that says, I have no shelf control. Which just about sums it up.
I almost didn't recognize you with long hair, Rapunzel. You are gorgeous. xo xo.
Looks like you're off to a great start! <3
And look at your cute hair!

Working on edits this morning. There is a gassy doberman underneath this blanket.
Sounds like a new character waiting for the reveal
My husband blames the dog too. Lol
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.
The Witch's Key by Sarra Cannon sarracannon.com/2020/05/the-witchs-key-release-day/
I got book mail today! I love book mail! 😍
Yay! How exciting. Congratulations.🍾
Always a great day!
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.
Pretty good, been reading quite a bit and short walks
Me too - I'm plotting - but very lethargically. I need to start writing!
Happy Mother’s Day to anyone who’s ever nurtured another being. You make the world a better place! 💗
You too Kaylie!
