A road trip! My husband and I like to pile in the SUV, set
the GPS (or not) and go where our curiosity takes us, having destinations in
mind but at the same time the freedom to stop and explore if we see something
that interests us.

I play four instruments and perform in two bands, a dulcimer

mixture of fun numbers

When you read for

Romance novels-what else?

What kinds of things
do you read when you’re researching a new book?

Wow-that depends on the book. For ‘Daughter of Valor’ and
its two accompanying Lunchbox romances, I Googled everything from prostheses to
IED and RPG explosions to grenades to paraplegic sex. I also do hands-on
research. For my next book, ‘Never and Always’, I learned to make soap.
