I have a real love affair going with India. It’s a colorful and vibrant country and one that’s top of my list to visit again. After visiting Ellora in India it seemed only right for me to target Ellora’s Cave to publish my books. Kismet, in fact.
The caves at Ellora and the neighboring Ajanta caves [...]

I’ve always wanted to go to Peru, so I decided to set my current book there as an excuse to take a trip. But I didn’t want to just visit the typical tourist spots. I wanted to get off the beaten path and really see how the Peruvian people lived. So in [...]

About fifteen years ago I insisted we take a family vacation one spring break. The children were young, probably about six and eight years old. I needed to get away from school and the ocean was calling me. Haunting me, perhaps. Odd thing, though, I’d never been to the east coast. That didn’t slow me [...]

Karma Santiago, from my story “Cat In The Mist,” lives in a picturesque small California town called Redrock, about an hour east of Los Angeles, nestled in a little bowl of a valley below snow-capped mountains. Orange groves line many of the streets, and cobblestone curbs still separate the packed dirt sidewalks from the narrow [...]

I love islands. I never get island fever. The love of tropical breezes,
white sand and blue-green water has taken me to the unique islands of
Ponape, Truk, Guam, Moorea, Fiji and Midway. The memory of those islands
has appeared in a couple of stories.
In Cosmic Cops: Dark Pleasures my heroine was raised on an island. She
actually has [...]

In 1999 my husband and I took a trip that literally would feed my writers imagination for years to come.
We had a chance to travel to Eastern Europe to Prague, Warsaw, Cracow, Bratislava and Vienna.
I could go on forever on this one trip, but I won’t. However I do want to talk about the [...]

These days my travels are confined to trips in my mind. I have heavy deadlines facing me. One Snowy Knight is due February 1st, and Yield to the Knight is due July 1st. These will be a continuation of my Dragons of Challon series I’m doing for Kensington Zebra Historicals. So [...]

The mountains inspire me. There’s nothing like getting away from it all in the twelve-thousand foot peaks of Colorado.
It was the mountains of Colorado that inspired my newest novel series, (not yet available), and it’s the mountains of Colorado that refresh me when I’m feeling low. All I have to do is look [...]

I have to confess that when I conceived my upcoming mini-series for Silhouette Romantic Suspense, I was motivated by blatant self-interest. I decided to set each book in a country where I wanted to travel. I mean, why not? If I’m going to research a place, I might as well make it fun, right? So [...]

My brother-in-law, Matt, owns a restaurant called The Burger Lounge in Lake Tahoe, California, and so of course, I’m writing an entire book around the idea for a scene in which my main characters eat there. The book will be the sequel to “Dark Thirst,” the first in a new paranormal/vampire romance series [...]
