Week #3 Guest Blogs and Reviews

The third weeks of virtual touring to promote In The Arms of Mr. Darcy did not begin until Wednesday but then it was jam packed! The reviews trickled in and I was fortunate to have five different web-places host me so I could talk about my newest novel. So fun!...

Hanford High ’59 Bookclub

About one month ago I was contacted by a lovely lady named Carol who lives in my hometown. She had seen the article about me in the Hanford Sentinel last August and decided to read Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy: Two Shall Become One simply because she was intrigued by...

Interview with Sia McKye at Over Coffee, and 2 reviews

The blog tour marches on with my first interview for this novel given by Sia McKye at her Thoughts Over Coffee blog. Sia kindly hosted me on her blog last March when Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy was released. At that time I wrote an essay about learning to balance...

“The Host” by Stephenie Meyer

I was rather late to the Twilight phenomenon – Book/Movie Review and Series Review – but my love and awe for the series and the writer are intense nonetheless. A month ago I picked up her novel, The Host, not realizing that it had actually been released in May of...

It’s official – I am a Twilighter!

Apparently that is the name for fans of Stephenie Meyer’s 4-book vampire series. I don’t think I am in need of a 12-step program as yet. I mean, I have not joined the fan community or started writing fan-fiction! That, as we all know, is what really makes one an...

“Twilight” – The book and movie

I am probably in the vast minority, but until some three months ago I had never heard of Stephanie Meyer or the vampire phenomenon that she has created. I plead being immersed in my own creation as absolution for my ignorance! It began, for me, when my Entertainment Weekly arrived...
