Yes, I said “WINNERS” in the plural! The turn out for my Interview With Miss Darcy guest cross post for the Austenesque Reviews extravaganza “Traveling Tuesday” far exceeded my expectations. I am fairly certain my humble blog has never seen so many comments on a single post! It was wonderful...
My life is never boring, that is for sure! Lately I have been having an absolute blast helping my daughter plan her upcoming wedding. Indeed romance has been in the air around the Lathan house for a few weeks now. Isn’t that a marvelous photo? My future son-in-law is wonderful,...
Today is blog-day for me at Austen Authors. Those of us who wish to our talking about our writing spaces. In my case I am blessed with a wonderful office so it was fun to write about it. I posted a truncated version over there but here I can delve...
My oh my, did I ever have a wonderful vacation! So much happened in the 2 weeks we were gone that it feels like we were on holiday for a month. I can’t begin to relate all of it. Instead I will share a few highlights and add some more...
Feeling patriotic and proud to be an American is a normal attitude for me, but this 4th of July, our Day of Independence, the emotions are even closer to my heart. This year I have spent two weeks in Boston and New York City – two of our oldest cities...
Our first week in New England was precisely as I imagined it to be: Lazy for the most part, quiet, steeped in history and stunning landscapes. My husband is a photographer so he was in heaven the entire vacation, but especially while in the rural countryside and rugged seashores. Everywhere...

This has been a very busy month for me for lots of reasons, but the highlight by far was watching my youngest walk across the stage and receive his diploma. My son, Kyle, turned 18 back in November yet this was the moment it truly hit me that he is...
I was on the fence for a few weeks there, but finally it was decided that I will be traveling to New York in June for the Romance Writers of America National Conference. Yippee! I have wanted to attend from the get-go but, man, is it ever expensive to fly...
Time to report on my fabulous weekend in southern CA – Pasadena to be exact – with a group of friends from the Fresno Area Regency England Fellowship that I formed with my pal Carrie Flores. There were 5 of us all together: Carrie and me, my daughter Emily, and...

These past months have been rather hectic for a number of reasons so I am quite behind in sharing some of the events I have been a part of. Here comes a photo collage and an update! Ready? Unrelated to anything really is the acquisition of my Buick Lacrosse seen...
I am continually amazed by my great fortune. Publishing my novels and telling this story is a blessing of unbelievable proportions that I never take for granted. That alone would be enough. Yet to my delight the blessings have not stopped there. As time has passed the number of friends...
Isn’t it fabulous? I love it! Long story short: For an assortment of technical reasons, I needed to say adieu to the webhost where my old website was created and housed. I knew it was coming so have spent the past couple months researching and then finally going through the...
