Emilie’s Books
And the New Title is. . .
Due to company and a husband who’s needed lots of TLC while he recovers from doing something insidious to his back, my Tuesday blog will be short and sweet this week. I finally have a title! The fourth book in the Goddesses Anonymous series is. . . The Color of Light. And just in case…
Read MoreTitles: What’s Your Favorite?
I have a guest with me this week, my dear friend Karen Stone Young, whom I met back in the 1980s when we were both writing for Silhouette Romance. Karen and I have remained close ever since, and now she’s with me at Chautauqua Institution for our week on the American West. There are two…

When faced with the wake of a high-powered speedboat, steer your kayak into the waves. You’ll have a washboard rippling ride, but you probably won’t capsize. My husband and I are…

Omigosh! Pardon me while I hyperventilate. There will be a short intermission. . . Okay, a little better now. You see, I’m blogging about one of my Silhouette Romances, The Trouble With Joe, which has just been re-released, and I thought I would mention when it was first published, so I just checked. Twenty years ago. Somebody please…
Read MoreHappy Mardi Gras Day
Happy, happy Mardi Gras whether you’re among those who celebrate, wish you celebrated, or despise parades, beads and king cake any time of year. If you’re watching a parade right now, just know I wish I were right there beside you shouting “Throw me something, Mister!” The Unmasking, which is my one real carnival book, goes…
