OK, so not exactly 20 years. Not today, anyway.
Actually, it was 20 years in January since I published my first book.
Just writing that makes me sit back and think, “Wow.” Like all anniversaries, for me, this is a time of reflection. What have I done in 20 years? Well, it [...]

A couple weeks ago I posted a message about a contest. I now have a winner! It’s

Lori, send me an email:

Since I’m also Kylie Logan, author of “Button Holed,” you can also [...]

Who said it would be easy to get a new website up and running?
Well, actually, that’s exactly what a lot of people told me when I announced that my old website (as much fun as it was) was getting stale and needed updating.

Happy New Year!
I can’t think of a better way to kick off a new year than with a new book. That’s why I’m thrilled to announce the publication of “Wild, Wild Death,” book #8 in the Pepper Martin mystery series.

I fully intended to blog about writing today. For the past couple weeks, I’ve been plotting book #3 in the Button Box mystery series, and I had a lot to say about how different the plotting process is from the actual writing of a book, and how I wish I could put the Muse [...]

Call me superstitious (I’m not really, just careful), but I didn’t want to say anything until it was officially official. Now that I have my contract in my hot little hands, I can finally announce the sale of a new mystery series!
It’s called the League of Literary Ladies and is set [...]

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Wishing you a joyful, peaceful day. Join me in boycotting those retailers who are forcing their employees to work on the holiday. Bet you won’t find any executives behind those cash registers tomorrow!
