So I woke up this morning to find that UNTIL THERE WAS YOU had hit 7200 on Amazon. That felt pretty freaking awesome, let me tell you (yes, I know this does not directly correlate to numbers but climbing ranking feels great anyway)! Today is a hugely busy day. I’m all over the place so…
UNTIL THERE WAS YOU is out in only 4 days. I cannot believe how SLOW this week is going. It’s like getting ready to come home from Iraq. The first 11 months of your deployment will fly by but that last month is like dog years. I am so touched by all the wonderful support…
We’re well under the wire for UNTIL THERE WAS YOU. Less than 5 days until it’s available! I’m so grateful to everyone who has helped support the Coming Home series by spreading the word and for these wonderful early reviews. Please check these fantastic sites out!

UNTIL THERE WAS YOU comes out in less than a week. I’d be lying to you if I said I wasn’t freaking out. It’s my second book and I’m not going to try to play it cool like it’s no big deal. I think it’s appropriate that it would come out around Halloween, seeing how…
UNTIL THERE WAS YOU is officially 9 days away (how the heck did that happen??) and while I’m trying keep myself distracted to work on edits for the next book, I have to say I’m excited about some of these early reviews. Check out some of the highlights below (more coming soon!) (may contain spoilers).…
The army has a problem and we know it. Soldiers are dying by their own hand more than they are dying at the enemy’s hand. The Red Book, the Gold Book, and every commander from platoon leader up to the chief of staff are searching for answers. But I wonder if the generals truly know…
One of the things that I worried obsessed about before my first book went on sale was what being “published” would change about me. I for one saw a huge difference in my own actions on line after my first book went on sale. I was conscientious about alienating readers. About offending people. About marring…
I’m super excited to have debut author Elyssa Patrick here on the blog today. If you weren’t already aware, she’s the genius behind the names of my Loveswept novels and she’s an incredibly talented author. We’re here today to talk about her debut novel AS YOU WISH which features a rock star hero! As a…
I first met Elisabeth online as one of the so called 3 Musketeers. She was the nice musketeer and when I finally had the opportunity to meet her at RWA, I quickly learned why. Elisabeth is one of the funniest people I know and she had me in stitches the entire time at RWA. I’m…
At the risk of sounding like a bloviated douche bag, I’m going to expound a little on my frustration. Also, am going to clarify that I am just as much of a hypocrite as the next guy/gal. I’m a fan of entertainment. I believe whole heartedly that the human heart must have a release from…
My dad had a heart attack last week. He’s been in the hospital for about a week. He’s going to have quintuple bypass surgery. He doesn’t have insurance. I’m sitting here now listening to the hospital advocate talk to him about Maine Care and how he’s going to pay for the surgery and the follow…
I sent a soldier home from the army today with an Other Than Honorable Discharge. He’d been AWOL for almost 2 years and had been Dropped From Rolls before he’d ever reported to the unit. He came back because he was arrested in Florida and had a federal warrant. He came back, he did his…
In 2009, I deployed away from my children for a year combat tour in Iraq. I wanted nothing more than to come home and have their little arms wrap around my neck. I yearned for it with everything I was. And then I came home. Coming home was so much harder than I ever imagined.…
I’m happy to have Debra Webb on the blog today talking about her Colby agency series and her brand new endeavor Faces of Evil. CREATING A SERIES In July of this year the 50th book in the Colby Agency series I do for Harlequin Intrigue was released. As you can see I love series. And…
So a few months ago, I sent out my newsletter. I’d been trying to manage it myself and had been using things like rafflecopter contests to build it. I’d been using bento to manage it and had somehow managed to pull in a bunch of my contacts from Facebook, my address book and yahoo all…

If you know me, you know that I am a somewhat chaotic person (I can hear all of my former lieutenants laughing as we speak). Back in the day before I’d tried to gadget=ify (I know that’s not a word but work with me here) I used to carry around a notebook and write everything…

Fluffy is one sadistic little bastard. I love the stupid rodent. You wouldn’t think a hamster has personality but Fluffy, well you’ve been reading the blog. You know what hamster has put me through. Last night around 1130, I was putting my computer away and getting ready for bed when something caught my eye. Fluffy…
I put a soldier in jail today. I have no regrets about pressing charges. As an officer and as a company commander, my duty is to ensure good order and discipline in my formation. And while I”m not going to go into details about the case, I will say that I have no issues casting…
Back in Officer Candidate School, there was a big dust up about females taking showers in the field. Mind you, we didn’t have unlimited access to Lieutenant Google so the barracks lawyers were in full effect. The whole thing surrounded whether or not females were required to have a shower every 3 days or not…
I saw a stunning example of soulless humanity last night. I am ashamed to be part of the culture that would do something so mean and hurtful and downright cruel. My husband turned on the train wreck of a show called Honey Boo Boo. It’s another one of those already horrific shows that show parents…
So I’ve been working behind the scenes to get the first book from my year in Iraq ready to go. Now this cover isn’t final BUT I think it’s pretty darn close and I’m thrilled with how it turned out. There’s a story behind it too. The background picture is a photograph I took at…
IN the army we have something called the MEL: the Master Events List for an exercise. So in keeping with the finest traditions of neurotic authors everywhere, here is the UNTIL THERE WAS YOU MEL. Check back often because it changes daily (not saying I”m going to be able to update it daily, just that…
