Wedding Ring “Quilt Along With” Giveaway
I love the approach of a book launch, even when the book was well and truly launched almost nine years ago. Now Wedding Ring, the first book of the Shenandoah Album series, is about to be re-launched on March 26th, in a new format and with a brand new cover. Recently I blogged about the way…
Read MoreMaking Muckles Out of Mickles or Why Mira is reissuing the Shenandoah Album Novels
What are Muckles and Mickles you say and what in the world do they have to do with Emilie’s novels? What, have you no Scots blood–as do many people in the Shenandoah Valley? “Many a mickle makes a muckle,” means that if you carefully accumulate many little things, you’ll end up with something larger and…
Read MoreEmilie Richards’ Classics
As most of you know, I began my writing career in the romance genre and published dozens of romances before I realized I was writing about many things other than romance that I wanted to explore in more depth. Slowly, without realizing it, I had moved into a broader “genre,” women’s fiction, which encompasses all…
Read MoreCatch-Up or This and That
In my quest to tie up knots and organize my in-transition life, lots of odds and ends today. We found a house! The house has passed inspection.

Read MoreReader Mail with a Little This and That
Seems to me it’s time to answer a few of the questions I’ve received in my email in recent weeks. Everyone gets personal responses, of course–and yes, that’s really me answering them–but some of the answers might interest the rest of you, too. 1–I just read One Mountain Away, and I loved the book, but…

Read MoreThe Conversation Continues: Emilie And Diane
Today the fun is definitely at Diane Chamberlain’s blog as Diane and I continue our conversation about “difficult” characters, choices we make as writers, and other writing topics. Friday the conversation returns to my blog for (most likely) the final salvo. So scoot over to Diane’s blog today for the newest scoop. And don’t forget!…
Read MoreManuscript Miracles
I’m in the final stages of Somewhere Between Luck and Trust, the second in my Goddesses Anonymous series. Can those of you who’ve just read One Mountain Away guess the major character in this one? She was introduced in the first book, and we’ve traveled another winding road to the end of this novel. But…
Read MoreOne Mountain Away: The Book Trailer
I’m so delighted to be able to share the new video my son created so that I could introduce my readers to One Mountain Away. Several months ago we played with ideas and got as far as filming, but the script was much too long. So I reworked it, and Galen produced this to go…
