Thanks for stopping by.  If you’re new to my website, I’m the author of over thirty romantic fiction novels, and a series of short stories I call  Flirts. I love to tell a story that sometimes makes you laugh, sometimes makes you cry, often has a surprise or two, but always ends happily ever after.

I live in the Dallas area with my husband, a rescued German Shepherd who believes himself to be the neighborhood goodwill ambassador (the German Shepherd, not my hubby),  a fifty-pound American Pit Bull who is convinced he's a lapdog.  Occasionally I get to puppysit my Golden Retriever  grandpuppy.  All dutifully sit at my feet as I write my next story.

So come on in, explore my pages, and see what's in store for you!

Plotting a New Series With Friends!

First off I want to update on my daughter’s home projects. Seems the next generation got hit with a nasty cold that ran through the family so they’re only now starting to work on it. I think the first project is going to be changing a window to a patio door so they don’t have to go to the laundry room to go into the backyard. Will keep you posted as soon as there’s something to report!
 
Now what I did this week.  After I dusted the house – I swear dust breeds like bunnies – I hosted a plotting day in my living room! I have been blessed with the support of a lot of wonderful authors, but there are a handful I can count on to keep me writing on a daily basis, these four ladies who are comfortable walking into my home without waiting for me to come to the door are just a few of those wonderful author friends.
 
I’ve known Kathy Ivan for as long as I’ve been writing and let me tell you, that woman has the patience of a saint. She’s always there to talk through when I’m stuck and to scold me when I’m not staying on task. Same thing with Barb Han. There is many a moment when the next scene only came after doing knee bends and balancing on one foot and free flowing ideas. Some good, some not so much, but all lots of fun! Cindy Dees is my go to lady for out of the box. You know those crazy old men who were stealing cows to save them? Yep, Cindy! Then we have Kellie Coates Gilbert. The woman has behind the scenes skills that can keep us on the phone for hours. Can you name who is who?
 
Put all five of us together in a room for hours – and new series are woven together ready to go.  So here’s what we’ve come up with for me so far.  Some things may change but most likely our new family will be living in Honeysuckle Texas.  Thanks to Cindy the town will be famous for an annual festival – not honeysuckle either LOL (you might have to wait and read the first book to find out what it is).  The family head will be a strong widow who I have yet to name. She may have a few sisters, we’ll see what she tells me. My favorite part of this whole idea though is going to be the dogs. We’ll be bringing military K9s home and hope to have a lot of fun along the way!
 
So that’s it. You know as much as I do. Oh, the series name. Texas on my Mind. What do y’all think of that?  I’m pretty excited. I don’t know very much when I start writing and it’s always fun for to learn about a town and the characters as I go.
 
I wouldn’t mind more help. Do you have favorite things you love to read in a romance series? 


Have a great week!
CK
