There is nothing magical about Upstate New York in March. Or is there????????

Pre-orders are LIVE! My FACE will be, too!

From now until March 10, 2026 you can pre-order Magic and Mischief from one of three amazing independent bookstores and get some custom designed, hand-beaded (yes, I put my offspring to work) swag. Plus, I am again donating to Feeding America* from all my pre-order proceeds. Also, I’m putting a list of where you can see my round face over the next three months on my Events Page.

The New Romantics – A romance-only bookstore in Orlando, Florida. The New Romantics is an amazing woman-owned store that has become an important asset in the romance community. I’m so happy to be partnering with Jane and her fantastic staff and I hope you support their fantastic endeavor!

The Novel Neighbor – My friends at The Novel Neighbor have been amazingly supportive of my historical romances and the last time I visited with them, it was virtual. This time, I’m going to be there LIVE and talking with the one-and-only smart, charming, maniacal liar, Lynn Painter, who will try to convince you that Oklahoma is real.

Burn Bright Books – My favorite brick-and-mortar romance bookstore, right here in Rochester, NY. Burn Bright Books is a delightful, community-oriented bookshop that is so incredibly supportive of local authors. I’m doing my launch event there on March 10, 2026, you should come and see me if you’re in the area – there will be DONUTS!

*WHY FEEDING AMERICA AGAIN?

Let’s face it. People are not being kind to one another right now. There are many organizations I could donate to that would reflect my concern over the demise of our democracy and the regressive ways in which women, BIPOC, and Queer folks are being treated. When it gets down to what I consider a need, however, food and shelter come first, especially for children. While the fight for fair and sustainable housing and wages is being waged on a macro level, there are children who are hungry right now. Let’s feed them, first. Once we have fed them, and ourselves, we can go on to do the harder work. Feeding America is a confederation of food banks across America. Your donation will not only support your local food bank, it will go towards a non-partisan, non-profit advocacy arm of that food bank that does the important work of reminding us all in the richest country in the world that too many of our babies go to bed hungry and that is not acceptable.
