It’s #BookQW and our hero is ‘deep’ in love with a girl who isn’t sure she can commit. At last, a quote from my upcoming release, Keepers of the Sea Cliffs. Details on that below, but first, more from Chapter 2: Feeling as if a school of fish swam through his gut, Salm asked, “How […]
It’s #BookQW and Coral has her ‘finger’ on poking her siblings! Family can be everything, but sometimes you’ve had enough of them! More from Chapter 25: Did you make these, too?” Ty gestured to the macramé she’d tied into her hair at her temple when she’d left it loose tonight. Hoy, now he was taking […]
It’s #BookQW and nighttime is when our heroine ‘lights’ up! More from Chapter 1: More Trouble Than Boys Are Worth Tern Bay enclave, in the Windborne Scotland District Coral hovered, slowly flapping her feathered wings under the crisp September night sky. The last set of competitors had landed at the edge of the dueling arena […]
It’s #BookQW and our Seas siblings have a ‘long’ history of competition. More from Chapter 4: Ma straightened, tucking stray hair into her French braid. “We’ve made our decision for your safety, and I’m thankful your sister has agreed to let you stay with her on top of her generous offer of the bakery job. […]
It’s #BookQW and a ‘mistake’ can be fun! More from Chapter 17: Hoist the mainsail! Batten down the hatches! Kiss the gunner’s daughter!

It’s #BookQW and Cor ‘might’ be nervous himself. I’ve chosen this particular ‘might’ quote because it illustrates a positive point noted in this week’s review of Guardian of the Pines on Raise Them Righteous: “In particular, Cor’s race and sexuality are admirably front-and-center. Rather than making these incidental facets of his character, they are integral […]
It’s #BookQW and my teen wizards share matching ‘faces’! More from Chapter 11: With a flick of his hand, Salm levitated the towel and magically threw it at her. “Tomorrow, you better wear your wetsuit.

At the beginning of August, a friend invited us to an old-time coastal camp his family was renting near Phippsburg, Maine.

It’s #BookQW and ‘please’ my heroine would like less drama in her life! More from Chapter 11: While she fastened the cart with a sailor’s knot, Spike approached. “It’s a fine machine.” “Thanks. Name’s Ty. And yours?” “Marlin,” he answered, now all bravado. She straightened, and Ty’s gaze briefly met hers, a smile twitching his […]
It’s #BookQW – and the ‘wait’ is over for my H&H to make a move. More from Chapter 11: Ty scrambled up to sit opposite her. “Geez,” he muttered. “I never would have thought you could do it, as skin—petite as you are.” He grabbed the mainsheet and tiller and steered them toward the dock. […]
