Who Doesn't Love a Romance Spin-Off?

Image
What do Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul have to do with my books? Not very much, honestly, except I am always hoping they'll decide to do a sequel that explores the life of Walt Jr. But we all love a good spin-off, don't we?  That's why I'm writing a spin-off series that takes up right where the Small-Town Secrets ends. The new series, Babies and Brides , focuses on some of the younger residents of good old Fairview, the sweet little small town where the first series too place. You already know all the hang-outs in Fairview. If you were magically dropped in, you'd know where to order a pizza (Sorrentino's, of course) and where to get the best ice cream (Remy's). And would you order a drink anywhere but at The Clipper? Heck no. This series launches with Claiming Haley . You may remember her from Crazy Little Thing and Laws of Attraction . She appeared in both. Now we learn her back story, and you've probably already deduced by the series name that t...

Let's Hear it for the Mom Tattoos: Stretch Marks!

Image
If you've ever given birth, there's a decent chance you now have stretch marks. There's also a decent chance you're not thrilled about this. But I'm here to say we need to try to think a new way about our stretch marks. I have so many stretch marks. My babies were large — my son weighed 10 pounds even! Ouch!  For many years, I was too upset about my stretch marks to show them to anyone. I felt embarrassed by them and always wore a one-piece bathing suit. The thought of any man but my husband seeing them was terrifying to me! Part of what made me so embarrassed was the way he spoke about my stretch marks. When he decided he wanted a divorce, he told me my stretch marks looked so bad that if I were dead on the side of the road, a vulture wouldn't touch my stomach. He had a few other choice things to say about my stretch marks, too.  In time, I dated plenty of other men who didn't have a problem with my stretch marks. They knew I was a mom and they k...

No More Last-Page Tears!

Image
Sometimes I cry when a good book ends. If I love the characters, I don't want to say goodbye forever. That's why I bring my characters back again and again in subsequent books. The main character in one book often shows up with a new baby in a later book. Each book features a different couple, and we follow them as they work to find their own Happily Ever After. I am so sure that you will love this series that I decided to write a prequel and give it to you free! All you need to do is click here , and it will send you to the page where you can download the book. It's the story of Carol Ann, the matriarch of Fairview, and it serves as an introduction to the little town where all the Small-Town Secrets are set. I recommend you make yourself a good cup of coffee (you'll know why I say that when you get into the book!), tuck yourself into a cozy spot and get ready for a happily ever after. Let me know what you think!

Good Books Alone, But Better Together

  Read the book that started it all! All the books in the Small-Town Secrets can stand alone, but like peanut butter and jelly, they are better together. When you read the books in order, you'll really get to know Fairview. You'll learn the best place for pizza (Sorrentino's, of course!) and where to go to get a drink (The Clipper, obviously!)   You'll get to know the characters well, because people you meet in an earlier book will pop right up in later books. You'll meet their children, who grow up as the series progresses.  The first book is all about Molly, the library director at the Fairview Public Library, a hard-working single mom who isn't even looking for a relationship until a sexy stranger with a compelling back story walks into her library. He's smitten immediately, probably because he saw a bit more than she intended when she climbed the ladder to put away a book on the top shelf. Oops. The great thing about Fairview? There are no presidential p...
