Spirit Creek Series is on the way!

Howdy folks!

It seems ages since I released a new book!

Of course, that’s because I’ve been working on the new Spirit Creek Series, a historical western romance set of six books (so far).  As some of you might know, whether reading them or writing them, I love a western!

Over the past two years, I’ve e-published several contemporary romance novels, but CoverFinalSM-NoTimeI’ve returned to my first love with this new series.  Book One, NO MORE, will be released in late March. Followed shortly by NO TIME in April and NO CHANCE is May. Three more books in the series will be forthcoming.

This first book is classified as sweet romance, so no need to get to blushing while you’re reading it. There are a few slightly spicy scenes in subsequent books, but nothing too scandalous.

Meantime, click above on the Spirit Creek Series tab for an introduction to a few citizens of Spirit Creek, Montana.

Randy Barker, the current mayor, posted a letter there to welcome you to town. Some other folks will drop by with a few words of their own once in awhile.

Happy Reading!

Happy New Year Fun List

»Posted on Jan 3, 2014 in Brenda's Banter & Balm | Comments Off on Happy New Year Fun List

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

 

The holiday season has drawn to a close. People are returning to work and the kids are returning to school. It’s time to get back into a routine. In 2012 and 2013, I concentrated all my writing efforts toward contemporary romance, but in 2014 I’ll be working on my historical western romance project, The Spirit Creek Series.

 

I love writing romance novels. Here’s a fun list inspired by another nightly top ten list we are all familiar with.

 

TOP TEN SIGNS YOU MIGHT BE A ROMANCE AUTHOR. . .

 

10. It is 3 a.m. and you’re seated in your office, clicking the keys on your laptop because you just have to finish this scene before bed.

 

9. Browsing the aisles in Chapters, Barnes and Noble, or Staples is your idea of a fun shopping trip.

 

8. While you’re sitting in Tim Horton’s having your favorite beverage, several good-looking police officers walk in and your first thought is RESEARCH.

 

7. You have been busy and haven’t written a word in two days, and you’re going into withdrawal.

 

6. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, you’re busy at your laptop, writing, still wearing your pajamas.

 

5. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, you’re still writing, still wearing the pajamas, having decided it’s too late to bother getting dressed now anyway.

 

4. You’ve burned several pots of dinner because you decided to ‘just check my email’ while it finished cooking.

 

3. You’ve been so busy writing that you’ve been ignoring your family to the point that even the dog is giving you the evil eye.

 

2. You agree to leave your laptop at home during a family outing, and then start to hyperventilate.

 

1. Whenever someone asks you what you do, without a moment’s hesitation you say I’m an author.

Everything in balance

»Posted on Dec 5, 2013 in Brenda's Banter & Balm | Comments Off on Everything in balance

 

As an author, I write. A lot. Almost every day. It’s what I do. I love it. But we are encouraged constantly to balance all aspects of our lives. And it’s true. So, tonight I’ll be taking time to sit back, relax, and enjoy a TV program I’ve been looking forward to for weeks now, ever since I first heard the advertisement.  A live show. On TV. The Sound of Music!

I’ve watched a program on the making of this production. Huge! And I’ve happened upon some of the stars doing interviews on talk shows and whatnot. Carrie Underwood OMG.

I cannot tell you how much I’ve been looking forward to this three hour live production tonight (Thurs. Dec. 5). Check your TV listings! I’ve also set my PVR. This one will be a keeper. Now, I just have to make the popcorn!
