Happy Friday! It’s been a crazy few weeks for me- so busy. As many of you know, I am a full time high school English teacher, and getting back into the swing of things has been exhausting. I think I’m finally getting back into my groove, so now I can focus on talking about book …

Okay, grab your tissues…Here is your next preview from Heartbroken. Please let me know what you think! This is an edited chapter- Bill’s parts have been removed. You will have to wait to read about that… 🙁  (It will be worth it, I promise) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Tommy and Jack walked into the room and looked at …

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the character of Brittany. So many people ask me where I got the idea for the series or the characters in particular, and although much of what I write has evolved a lot from conception to what you see now, some things haven’t changed. In 1996, I had …

One of my most favorite parts of writing this series are the flashbacks and the flash forwards. This particular scene comes in book 13 and I loved writing it. I hope you enjoy reading it! ************************************************************************************************** (15 years ago) “I don’t want this to take too long, okay? I have a big exam and I …

When I created Tommy, I did it somewhat selfishly. Of all the men in the series, he is the closest to my heart. Don’t get me wrong, all of the men are super important to me, but Tommy is different. He’s the person who says what I needed to hear. He is the man who …

Jade. It’s interesting when I look at Jade and how long she has actually been a part of this series. She was actually introduced in book 1 when Jack found Stephanie on the ledge. The nurse he called for help was Jade. She was seen sporadically through the next few books and she was featured …
