Hey Bonnie Girl!
 It’s been a hectic day, but I wanted to drop in to say hello! Are you ready for the holidays? I’m just now getting ready for Christmas 1997. There are not enough hours in the day to do everything I’d like. I’m not Martha Stewart, and if I got a glue gun out the cat would be stuck to something for months, and I’d wonder why my shoes never moved…

Hi Bonnie,
OMG, where would I start with the Laird series? It was a unique inspiration for a twist on a time travel plot that launched five wonderful books. Laird of the Game is the first book and it’s available at Amazon.com or Borders Bookstores.
I also have some fabulous new artwork on my website from English Graphic Artist Bez, so I hope you get a chance to drop by to the heroines in the Laird series.
My desire for today, is just to keep the house standing while I prepare jello for the Thanksgiving dinner! I am delighted that Amber, from Amber’s Kitchen is cooking dinner for tomorrow so I can come out to play. (I don’t know how she got the cooking gene – it’s a miracle!)
I’m great at folding napkins, and polishing silverware! People like you amaze me. I would rather write a computer training manual than arrange flowers, or try to find the right paint color for the dining room. It took me months to decide on a cashmere color with pearl trim. (For those who are wondering about this combination, think beige and white.) LOL
I did, however, find a wonderful wine to go along with dinner.
What’s cooking at your house?

The covers for the books were designed by Patty Foltz, cover artist for Vintage Romance Publishing. We talked a lot about the book, and tried several other options. The basic elements of the book are on the cover – the castle, the handsome Laird, the American Tourist who stumbles into the midst of their game. I’m sure Patty still cringes when my name is mentioned, as I can be rather demanding when it comes to the cover. We designed a theme that will be carried through the series.
I also have a wonderful Editor, Dawn Carrington, who took a great book and made it even better! We cut the length down, and focused the story. Working with the Vintage staff has been a truly wonderful experience. I had all the right elements in place for a spectacular launch. My Publicist has been working overtime in getting my book out to the stores.
The next book in the series would probably already be on the shelf, if it hadn’t been for a heartbreaking experience…
