Beach Season

It's that time, and I am soooo ready! I actually co-wrote a book titled exactly that last year and it was so much fun! My toes in the sand, BBQs on the back deck, cozying up by the fire at night, that's what beach season is for me, what does it mean for you?

I usually "officially" open my beach house again for the year around the Memorial Day weekend, but it's been so nice here these past few weeks, the house is now officially O.P.E.N!! Summertime is always a fun time for making memories, family and friends for long, lazy weekends, sand volleyball, I'm strictly a spectator! Sand castle building, seashell hunting, and don't forget the ice cream!

So, for me, it's beach season. Hooray!

YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW

 

Well, you might. YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW is still hanging on the lists and I couldn't be happier! Thanks to everyone who's gone out to grab a copy, it's because of you!! So thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart! I hope you're having as much fun with the book as I did writing it!

AND...... I'm gearing up for a fun-filled summer! I've got three, yep, THREE new books coming out this summer. The first, in June, is with my sister, and fellow author, Nancy Bush, and it's the next in our colony series, SOMETHING WICKED. Followed by TELL ME in July. And finally, in August, Pescoli and Alvarez are back in READY TO DIE. I've got some fun promotions in the works for these summer reads so find me on facebook or visit my website to learn more!

Hooray for Summer!

Ready to fall-in

Ok, Labor Day has come and gone for this year and you know what that means, autumn is on its way! Fall is absolutely my favorite time of year. The leaves turning, the air cooling, pumpkin-flavored anything, evenings by the fire. Oooooh, I get that cozy feeling just thinking about it.

I also love autumn because it's the best time for me to write. Like I said, a nice fire, something warm to drink, I can really get lost in the lives I'm writing about! Right now I'm just getting settled back into Grizzly Falls and hanging out with my girls, Alvarez and Pescoli. READY TO DIE will be the next in the "TO DIE" series, and I'm really excited about it!

Uh-Oh, here comes Jackie reminding me to get back to work!

If you can't stand the heat......

Ok, I'm convinced I could never live someplace like the southwest. Not that I was contemplating a move anytime soon! We've experienced some all-time high temperatures here in the northwest the last couple of weeks, and I'm so happy our "normal" weather has returned!

I suppose growing up and living my entire life in the northwest has conditioned my body to be less capable of handling those hot, hot temperatures. One plus though, I got TONS done on my next "TO DIE" book, I couldn't wait to visit Grizzly Falls and the snowfall!

I hope where ever you are, you're keeping cool and enjoying the tail end of summer!

YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW

TODAY'S THE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You DO Want to Know

Here’s a heads up!  YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW is available August 7^th!!! (Is it a sign that August 7^th was my mother’s birthday, and her mother’s as well?)  Check out an excerpt!

Jersey Boys Walk!

Wow.  I had a great time in New York City for Thrillerfest.  But, I didn’t work the whole time I was back East.  Aside from trying out some new restaurants, we went to a Broadway play, Jersey Boys and tripped down memory lane!  We did some other sight-seeing, dined in some new spots and tried to avoid the heat, to no avail!  It was a lot of fun as you can see from some of these shots!
