What I Did For Christmas Vacation

January 7, 2016 By Karen Witemeyer

My favorite Christmas vacations are the ones where I don't have to travel . . . much. Days spent in pajamas. Playing board games with the family. Piecing together a puzzle. Watching movies and TV shows that have piled up on the TiVo because we don't have time to watch them during our normal routine. Cross-stitching. Reading Christmas novellas. Love it! This Christmas certainly qualifies. My … [Read more...]

A Christmas Recipe

December 17, 2015 By Karen Witemeyer

Christmas is a time of family, fun, and food. And by food, I mean all those wonderful baked goodies that are miraculously calorie-free during this one very special time of the year. (That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!) Growing up, one of the special treats I looked forward to every year was my grandmother's shortbread.

Regina and I roomed together this summer at the RT Reader Convention in Dallas, and we had a blast. She even got me to do a little two-steppin' at one of the western romance sessions. Only for you, Regina! No Other Place on … [Read more...]

A Trio of Cover Reveals

November 5, 2015 By Karen Witemeyer

For me, one of the most exciting (and nerve-wracking!) parts of the publication process is seeing a new cover for the first time. We've all been told not to judge a book by it's cover, but that's exactly what we do every day. I know I do. The cover is what makes a story's first impression on a reader. Not the words we've painstakingly crafted over months of labor, but a single shot of art that we … [Read more...]
