Hello blog friends! I’m back from the deep, dark writing cave. Yesterday morning I finished my first draft of Aftershock (HQN, 2013). Yay! I’m going to give it a short rest before I do another read-through, polish, line edit etc. It’s due in about two weeks. Although I always feel pressure to submit quality work, [...]

Hiatus interruptus! I forgot to post my Best List. I’ve only got five this year, which causes me deep reading shame. I used to read a book a day. Since I started writing, that number has trickled down to one a week on average, or one a month when I’m super-busy (like now). Every year [...]

My older daughter has a birthday next week and I’m trying to finish a book. I’ll be too busy to blog for most of January, I imagine. Time is flying so fast! Happy Holidays and have a wonderful New Year!!

I’m behind on my shopping and decorating and cards! I need to update my web site and write a lot of words! But before I get all bah humbug and crack under stress, why don’t I give away some books? I have 10 print copes of RISKY CHRISTMAS in my Santa bag, ready to go. [...]

I almost forgot about this in the Holiday shuffle. I have a book signing tonight (Wed. 12/14) at 6:30 at the Oceanside Barnes & Noble. RISKY CHRISTMAS, my latest release, is set in Oceanside. My fellow RWASD/Harlequin authors Teresa Carpenter and Judy Duarte will be joining me. Hope to see you there!

Here’s my cheerleader and Little Red Riding Hood before school this morning. They’re so excited! Have a great one, Jill

Hola amigos! Casa Sorenson has been a whirlwind of activity. Daughter 1′s soccer season is wrapping up. Her poor team didn’t win any games. Better luck next year, girls. Daughter 2 is starting ballet lessons on Tuesday. Hopefully she won’t eat too much candy on Halloween. I have awesome book news!! Hope to share soon. [...]

I’m in such a generous mood! This big box of books in my closet isn’t going to give *itself* away. So sign up to win one of 10 print copies of Tempted by His Target at Goodreads. Or, if you review, you can still find the title at NetGalley. Those who have already requested, read, [...]

And we’re back. We had lovely family vacay! Here’s a recap. Friday got off to a rocky start. I needed to get new tires before we left. By the time my truck was loaded and ready, it was 2 pm. Balls! We hit evil LA traffic and arrived late in Buellton CA. Motel 6, baby. [...]

Mr. S finally got some time off work, yay! We’re headed north to the Santa Barbara area for a mix of beach camping and hotel lounging. It’s going to be so fun OMG. And I have so much packing and preparing to do in the next 24 hours!! I will be offline for this weekend [...]
