Celebrating Indiana Romance Authors: Jeana Mann
Today I’m featuring award-winning Indiana Romance Author Jeana Mann. Doesn’t that fabulous smile just make you want to invite her out for a night of wine, food, and fun? Jeana was born and raised in Indiana where she lives today with her two crazy rat terriers Mildred and Mabel. She graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Speech and Hearing, something totally unrelated to writing. When she’s not busy dreaming up steamy romance novels, she loves to travel anywhere and everywhere. Over the years she climbed the ruins of Chichen Iza in Mexico, snorkeled along the shores of Hawaii, sailed around Jamaica, ate gelato on the steps of the…

Celebrating Indiana Romance Authors: Kyra Jacobs
Celebrating Indiana Romance Authors continues with Kyra Jacobs. Kyra is an extroverted introvert who writes of love, humor, and mystery in the Midwest and beyond. Her romance novels range from sweet contemporaries to urban suspense, and paranormal/fantasy to YA. No matter the setting, Kyra employs both humor and chaos to help her characters find inspiration and/or redemption on their way to happily ever after. When the Hoosier native isn’t pounding out scenes for her next book, she’s likely outside, elbow-deep in snapdragons or spending quality time with her sports-loving family. Kyra also loves to read, tries to golf, and is an avid college football fan.Be sure to stop by her IndianaWonderer…

Celebrating Indiana Romance Authors: Jillian Jacobs
One of the best parts of joining Romance Writers of America was meeting so many genuinely nice people. One of my very favorites is Jillian Jacobs. Jill is not only a great writer, but she has given tirelessly to our Indiana chapter of RWA. I had the pleasure of working with her on our mini-conference a couple of years ago and I was so impressed with her energy and how easily she just got everything right. I’m excited to introduce her to you now. In the spring of 2013, Jill changed her solitary path and became a romance Writer. She’s been reading for years, so she figured writing a romance…

Celebrating Indiana Romance Authors: Lisa Caviness
Wow, this whole Celebrating Indiana Romance Authors has already been such a charge for me! Today, I’m excited to welcome Lisa Caviness, a charming writer, whom I got to know a little better when we both spent a few days on retreat with some other writers at Turkey Run State Park a couple of years ago. As a lifelong reader of an eclectic pool of books from mystery/thrillers, science fiction, contemporary romance, and the classics, Lisa has never been without a book on her nightstand. Like many writers, she started crafting stories as a child. She and her sister shared a room as kids and many nights before they fell…

BookBub for the Win!
My Bookbub ad posted exactly a week ago and the results were amazing! I had a very successful campaign and whole new crop of readers discovered the Women of Willow Bay, which makes me very happy. All in all, I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Here’s the great news, the sale price on ONCE MORE FROM THE TOP is still in effect and will be until the end of September, so if you haven’t met the Women of Willow Bay, well, now’s the time. Head on over to Amazon or any other ebook outlet and grab the first book in the series. Hopefully, you’ll be captured by Carrie and…

BookBub!
Today, ONCE MORE FROM THE TOP is a 99-cent deal on BookBub. If you’re an author trying to promote your books, you already know what a big deal this is and why I’m so jacked up about it. If you’re not, suffice to say, this is HUGE! BookBub reaches a lot of folks–like millions, so my name and my Women of Willow Bay series is in front of a whole bunch of new readers. They only accept about 15-20 percent of the ads submitted to them, so to get this one so close to releasing SAVING SARAH is a gift from promotion heaven. Pop by BookBub and check out my…

Life Is . . . Settling Down . . .
. . . a little bit. Summer is nearly half over. Can you believe it? I really thought that after Dee’s memorial service, life would settle back into normal, but you know, I think that I’ve lost “normal.” Or maybe I never had it in the first place. I’m not sure anymore. Is there normal? If anyone figures that one out, let me know. In the meantime, here’s a scene from Saving Sarah–Book 4 in the Women of Willow Bay series. It’s currently with my editor and hopefully, very soon, we’ll have a cover to show you and a release date. This scene takes place about a week and half…
