Is anyone surprised that I’ve chosen romance novels for February’s reading challenge? After all, it’s Valentine’s Month! For me, reading romances is a step outside the box. Most of my novels have an element of romance, some more than others. One of the plot lines in my September release for Lake Union centers around a middle-aged couple falling in love. Admittedly, it was quite a lot of fun to write. Especially the Christmas in New York ending. Hint, hint.

Mark Your Calendars

And speaking of romances, Carolyn Brown, author of the blockbuster bestseller new release, The Magnolia Inn, will be joining me on my Facebook Author Page at noon on Friday, February 22, for a Friends in Novel Places Author Meet and Greet. You don’t want to miss this!
