Wit, humor, and a rakish hero determined to risk everything to win the heart of the woman he loves.
As promised, here are a few pictures from my trip to Papingo, Greece! The first picture is of the hillside village of Mikro Papingo taken from my friend’s house (she lives near the top of the hill). All of the houses in Papingo are made out of stone including the roofs.
The second picture is [...]
For the past two weeks, my husband and I have been traveling through Greece. While we saw the major sights in Athens, most of our time was spent in the small village of Mikro Papingo. This mountain village has 8 permanent residents, one of whom is a dear friend and the artistic director of the [...]
Well, not exactly. While I am far from home, visiting the lovely state of Oregon, I have not come close to fishing. We spent our first day on a self-guided eating and drinking tour of Portland.
First stop: brunch at Mothers Bistro and Bar! This lovely little bistro wins my vote for best brunch after [...]
This past weekend, my nervous energy about finding an agent and a publisher for my work took a back seat to two love stories.

I could easily grant myself a reprieve from my writing schedule given [...]
Horses are one of the many reasons I love the Regency period. If I could, I would abandon modern transportation in favor of true horsepower.
This past Fall my husband and I did exactly that. We traveled over one hundred miles on horse back through the Pyrenees Mountains in France. For me, this was possibly the closest I will [...]
Let me begin by saying that yes, it is possible to bring both books and shoes when traveling. However, I’ve found that it is best not to pack them in equal numbers.
