Life Lesson #5 from savvy Emily Lockwood
BEFORE AND EVER SINCE, my second full length novel with Berkley, is almost here! I get lots of questions asking me what it's about. Basically, the main character, Emily Lockwood has alot on her plate. She is successful in her own right, with a solid real estate career, but has a headstrong daughter, a mother who marches to her own drummer, and an ex-husband who needs sex therapy. Enter into this picture a house with an agenda, and the return of her first love, rocking a tool belt and a paintbrush and dark eyes full of secrets, and Emily just flat out has things to get through and get ...

We interrupt the regularly scheduled program…
Taking a break from Emily's Life Lessons and Hot Tool Guys today.... :) I know, I know, but it's Saturday and I think a little time away from sexy men and snarky moments will be good for us. Right? Besides, then we can truly appreciate them again when Monday rolls around. Today, I thought I'd pay homage to Friday nights. What? Friday nights? What on earth does that mean?? Well, I live in Texas, and this time of year is about football. High school football. As in the real life Friday Night Lights. Some people might think that was just a movie. Or a TV series. But let me assure ... Read More

The 3rd Thing You’ll Learn from reading BEFORE AND EVER SINCE…
No tour stop today, so let's get straight to the business of what Emily has to tell us. :) The 3rd Lesson in BEFORE AND EVER SINCE... Emily Life Lesson #3… Never say you’re never going to do something, like going out for girls night in a powder blue Winnebago. It guarantees you will. I wasn’t going to ride in Big Blue. Aunt Bernie, Holly, Cassidy, myself and my mother were dressed to go out, looking good, feeling good, and I wasn’t about to ruin that by piling in a giant trailer. Aunt Bernie was the one who’d brought it up, pointing out that we all had smallish cars and five ... Read More

On November 6th, from 10am to 5pm CST, join me on Facebook to celebrate the release of my second full length novel, BEFORE AND EVER SINCE. This is the story of Emily.

At the party, I’ll be handing out party favors every hour, such as free books from authors ... Read More
Hold on, it’s gonna be a crazy week!! :)
This next week is going to be a whirlwind... :) I remember this from the past Spring, when THE REASON IS YOU was about to launch. The week before is a blur of blog posts and tours and giveaways and never-ending anxiety. LOL. Well, that's about to start again. When JUST ONE DAY released recently, (my e-novella) I didn't have time for anxiety.... It was so fast and spur of the moment, I didn't get a chance to obsess over its entry into the world. Hmmm, that may be the way to go. :) Now... BEFORE AND EVER SINCE is about to step out there. Just 11 days away. *nail chewing and pacing ... Read More
Countdown: Two Weeks!
That's right. Just two weeks from today, on Nov 6th, BEFORE AND EVER SINCE will be officially out in the world. It will be floating around cyberspace in Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, The Book Depository, and any other online book sites, and nestled in all its paper glory on the shelves next to THE REASON IS YOU. And if I'm really lucky, it will be placed on the New Releases table as well. If you've preordered it, it will come singing (I believe it, so it's so) to your house that day, or download right into your Nook or Kindle, waiting for you to open it. :) And there are ... Read More
JUST ONE DAY on Kindle!!
It's everywhere, now! My e-novella, JUST ONE DAY, is finally available anywhere you download ebooks. It hit #4 on the Barnes & Noble Nook Books list, let's see if we can give it some Amazon love as well. :) Please spread the word about this powerful little story that packs a punch for just $2.99. Twenty four hours to say yes....but to whom? She has nothing but time . . . Twenty-four hours. That’s how long Andie Fremont has to say yes—or no. At forty-four with a daughter in college, she’s no young kitten with starry-eyed ideas of what love is. Still, when the man who is everything ... Read More
