Hi everyone! I’m just checking in after a short trip to Joshua Tree National Park. It was great to get away for a few days with my family. We had a few mishaps, including a flyaway sleeping bag on the freeway. Somehow the kids’ clothes got left behind and we had to buy new stuff [...]

That’s it for the photo tour. I hope you enjoyed it. I had a great time choosing pics and reminiscing. Here’s a last set just for fun. This is my husband, running toward a wild crocodile at Coba Lake. Only a man would do this, right? And here I am at a beach near Cancun. [...]

In Tempted by His Target, Isabel is dragged into an underground tomb at the deserted Izapa ruins in the dead of night. Yikes! When I was looking through my travel albums, I found these pictures, taken at a site called Tinganio. I don’t know why I’m on all fours. I think the tomb had a [...]

Tempted by His Target releases in print today! The ebook comes out on Oct. 1st, so I’ll wait until then to shout it from the rooftops. As I’ve said, the story is set in Mexico. It begins in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, a section of the Pacific Coast known for big waves. My heroine, Isabel, is [...]
