RITA award finalists were announced this morning, and guess what? I GOT THE CALL. Leslie Kelley informed me that STRANDED WITH HER EX was nominated in the Contemporary Series Suspense/Adventure category. I’m so excited!! RWA Anaheim, here I come! I haven’t gotten any work done at all today. Can’t sit still. In other news, I’m [...]

I’m taking a day off to relax and watch the game. I was hoping for a San Francisco win last week, but oh well. My Chargers didn’t even make it to the playoffs. Go Patriots!

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

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, [...]
