As some of you may know, I love my crockpot and my bread machine. They have saved me a lot of money and a lot of time. Time better spent writing. 😉 For crockpot recipes I highly recommend Stephanie O’Dea. I love her Make it Fast, Cook it Slow recipe books. You can also find a lot of […]
Tea Time
In my current work in progress, two of the characters are native Regelans who have been abandoned on a different planet with a lot less technological advancements than Regelence. Needless to say, they miss their tea. One of the first things they do is ask Bannon, whose ship crashed on the planet, if he has […]
Exercise and Writing
With all the talk of New Years resolutions, I got to thinking about exercising since that is such a common resolution people have. It is not mine, however; I already workout regularly. I’ve always exercised off and on, but since August of last year I’ve exercised consistently. In the past, I always had good intentions […]
Christmas Traditions
I’ve been thinking a lot about culture and tradition lately because of the my work in progress. Specifically, I’ve been pondering how those things are changed and how they grow. Changes can come as a consequence of invasion, or expansion, out of necessity (such as women working when men went off to war), or from […]
White Chocolate, Cranberry & Oatmeal Cookies
My parents, niece, and I visited a lovely little pecan store about an hour and a half away from us a couple of weekends ago. If you are ever in Santo, Texas look up The Gilbert Pecan Co. My niece and I went a little nuts, pun intended, and bought way more than we should […]
The With or Without Series has a New Home

I’m proud to be partnering with Dreamspinner Press for the rerelease of the series and the addition of Without Secrets. Yes, Without Secrets is Sterling’s & Rhys’s story. Finally! I will also be expanding the novella With Love into a […]
Sugar Cookies and Computer Code by Kris Jacen
As you all know by now I love Christmas and I adore Christmas stories. This year I had the privilege of critiquing a Christmas story by my good friend Kris Jacen. So without further ado, I’ll let Kris tell you a little bit about herself and her story. Take it away, Kris! The holidays can […]
Pre-Order Diplomatic Relations Now!
I’m so happy to announce the upcoming release of the newest installment of the Sci-Regency series and share the cover with all of you. Diplomatic Relations is my first brand new book in several years (but not my last now that I’m back on track). The cover artist, Anna Tiferet Sikorska, did a fantastic job […]
Oh Christmas Trees
Yep, trees as in two. I didn’t actually put lights up earlier than I planned, I put them up the Monday before Thanksgiving, but I added another tree to the mix. We are now a two tree household, and I’m trying to figure out a way to justify adding more. You see, I needed another […]

Things I love about Christmas
One of the things I love Christmas is…DECORATIONS! Yup, I’m one of those people. My kids have a running joke that by the time I’m 50 I’ll go straight from Halloween decorations to Christmas decorations. I admit they might be right, I seem to put Christmas decorations up earlier and earlier every year and leave […]
The Best Place for News on JL’s Books
As some of you may know by now, or at least have guessed, I dislike social media. I have nothing against those who love it. It just isn’t for me. While I do attempt to use it for my lovely readers who like it, I find it eats up too much of my time and […]
