There aren’t enough words to articulate the experience of Saturday night.
So I’ll stick with just one:
Gratitude.

The wonderfully talented Laura Castori has created the most beautiful trailer video for The Unfinished Line—and I can’t stop watching it.
This project turned out more incredible than I ever could have imagined.
Thank you Laura, Abby, and Erika for such a creative collaboration. ❤️❤️❤️

I thought I’d share a first sneak peek at my upcoming release, The Colonel’s Daughter—the prequel to The Senator’s Wife.
Fun, poignant, and as uplifting as it can be heartbreaking, in this book you will meet Cate Brooks—a young, brilliant student at Oxford—before she became Catharine Cleveland.

Two books I read recently that really pulled me in. Neither of these are light, feel good romances—but both were wonderfully thought provoking, with problematic relationships and challenging characters, written in exceptional prose.
So if that’s your thing… highly recommended.

Is there something better than walking 200’ out your hotel room door to write in Hyde Park?
Maybe. But I can’t think of what that would be right now.

My, how time flies when you’re living in the world of Catharine Cleveland. 😉
What a journey! I’m so proud of this little book and the places it has taken me.

To say I am devastated over our local Southern California fires is an understatement. I no longer have words to express my grief for my friends, family, and our communities that are going through this tragedy.
