Two To Tango~ Unexpected Romance in California Wine Country

Happy first day of March!  I can't remember if I told you what I'm up to these days... I can barely remember what season it is! As usual, I've been writing hot, summer love scenes with wind and rain battering my windows, but the sun is shining today in wine country!

I have two new contemporary romances with my editor now. NAPA CRUSH, book two in my Single Girls Wine Club series is coming out in June.  Thank you so much for hanging in there and waiting for the sequel to JUST A KISS. I think you'll be thrilled with this story...it's HAWT!

And... there's more big news! Coming up on April 5th, I'm releasing TWO TO TANGO, the first book in a brand new series in Marina Adair's St. Helena Vineyard Kindle World.
I loved Marina's St. Helena Vineyard series and read every one of her books, the moment they came out.  I can't tell you how happy I am to be a part of her writing community and had a blast writing the story. If you happen to be on Facebook this Friday, I'm hosting a party in the St. Helena Kindle World group! I hope to see you there!
 
If you'd like to meet Jake Martelli, the gorgeous hero of my story and get a first look at TWO TO TANGO, I'd love to have you! Sign up for an ARC here:

ARC stands for Advanced Reader Copy and in most cases means the book has only gone through a rough editing pass.  It isn't the final version of the book but is very close. 

Until next time- Happy reading!

A Walk in the Vineyards~ Love Story Inspiration

A Walk in the Vineyards~ Love Story Inspiration

I can't believe it's already fall. I have a batch of photos from summer I still haven't shared with you.  So, before the rains come, I'll call this blog a re-cap and share some of the photos that inspired me over the summer. :-)

Because I spend so much time sitting at the computer writing, I do my best to get off my buns and walk everyday. It's not a surprise that the more I walk, the more inspired I become. 

Although I don't have a professional camera, I thought you'd enjoy a collage of some of the photos I've taken on my walks in Sonoma and Napa Valley. I have thousands of photos like these stored on my phone. Might as well share them...:-)

Most of the photos were taken in downtown Sonoma, near the Sonoma Plaza.  My book series, The Single Girls Wine Club, takes place here and all of the photos help give life to the scenes I'm often "writing" in my head as I walk. 

* Top left: Sunflowers at St. Francis Winery and Vineyards in Kenwood.

*Top middle: Poppies and wildflowers on E. Spain Street in Sonoma.

*Top right: Roses near the Napa Waterfront.

*Middle left and right: More wine country wildflowers growing along the bike path running through Sonoma.

*Middle-midde: That's me waving behind my roses. They're a very basic climbing rose I planted several years ago. I don't remember the variety, but they took off three years after I planted them.  
 
 *Bottom right is a grapevine we have growing in our back yard.  I love how expressive they are! 

*Bottom middle is actually a wall in a boutique on Hayes Street in San Francisco.  I think they call them "air" plants. They're growing in the wall! Couldn't resist the heart shape design.

*Bottom left (my favorite) is wild grapevine that obviously fell in love with a rose. 

I have exciting news to share with you soon. I'm releasing my first holiday novella. I'm crazy about Christmas and have had this story in mind for a long time.  I hope you like it.
 

The second book in The Single Girls Wine Club Series will be out early 2017. The title is Napa Crush, (Danica's story).  Just a Kiss, the first book in the series is available here.

One Moment Changes Everything: He Walked In.

Isn't it amazing how sometimes, just one moment with the right person, can change your life's direction?

Sarah Dupont, the heroine of Just a Kiss, the first book in The Single Girls Wine Club series, has just moved from San Francisco to Sonoma Valley. She's starting to get her life back on track after breaking up with her fiance and has opened a new business on the Sonoma Plaza called the Vine Cafe.

Somehow, Sarah has let her best friend talk her into training actor Jamie Santino how to bake. Here, Jamie Santino, (one of the infamous Santino brothers of Napa Valley winery fame), walks into Sarah's cafe.

This excerpt is from the first chapter of Just a Kiss.

Sarah is hiding behind the espresso machine here: -)
