I’ll admit it. There’s nothing sexier than a man who loves children. So today, I’ve prepared a small gallery of sexy men being even sexier. Sit back, sip your coffee, and enjoy . . . A firefighter (a special salute to those fighting the blazes in Colorado!): Sport icon David Beckham: Model Gabriel Aubrey: And [...]


I know what Ben Affleck likes for breakfast. (I like it, too.) I know when Amanda Bynes first started showing signs of falling off the rails. (Money and stardom does not a happy camper make.) I know why Johnny Depp selected every movie he’s ever been in. (An interesting man, that one.) I know Gwenyth [...]

Hugh Jackman is from Australia. So is Russell Crowe. And so are a dozen other sexy actors, musicians, and artists. But the FROS-worthy Aussie who caught my eye this week is Guy Pearce, the villain for the new Ironman 3. Frankly, I’m beginning to think there’s something very special in the water in Australia. Just [...]


We are right on the cusp of something exciting – yes, it’s nearly the summer movie season. We’re already being pummeled with trailers for the Tom Cruise movie Oblivion, and if I were someone who watched the MTV Movie Awards, I might have seen an Iron Man 3 trailer, too.

You might think because I write A Cheese Shop Mystery that I’m going to share my delicious research with you. Yes, I went from shop to shop, tasting extraordinarily sexy cheeses with sensual names like TuscanTartufo, Roaring Forties Blue, Triple Cream Brie, and Fromage d’Affinois.  But I’m not going to share that experience because I [...]


I don’t know about you guys, but if a man has a square jaw and steely blues, I’ll look. But if he’s also a reader, then I’ll chase him around the world and hunt him down like a Wildebeast – Er, I mean, I’ll look twice. Yes. Look twice. That’s what I meant to say. [...]


Yup, it’s Academy Award time again (YAY!) and so today for FROS, we’re going to take a look at the Best Actor Category and pick our own winner. First up to the podium is the ever talented Bradley Cooper: This is not a picture from the nominated movie, Silver Linings Playbook, but is instead my [...]


A few years ago I admitted to myself that I write heroes that in all likelihood I might not marry if I met them in real life. Part of that has to do with the selectivity of fiction— in my books I can change them by the end of the book in ways that real life probably [...]


Karen Hawkins and Julia London are doing a joint blog today. Why? We don’t know, but hey, they offered, and we figured what the heck. Besides, they both have releases the final week of this month, which always makes authors ‘play nice.’ At least for a day or two. Whatever you do, keep an eye [...]

For Refreshment Only Sundays (FROS) is getting in the holiday spirit and I could use some help. All of these helpers need direction! For example, Mt. Oly favorite, Hugh Jackman, has finished hanging the lights on the porch and now it looks as if he’s ready for a snowball fight. Anyone care to join in? [...]


Every year, while cooking our Thanksgiving feast, my family and I play the Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner Game. Here’s how it goes: Mom (whipping up some gravy): You know who would enjoy this turkey? George Washington. I read that he loves pigeon dishes and this turkey would taste almost the same as pigeon. Brother [...]

  It’s Traveling Day!! Well, not for me, but that’s because the annual Romance Writers of America Conference is being held about 7 miles from my house. But a great many romance writers are flying, driving, and boating (I don’t know that for certain, but it sounds romantic) in order to reach Anaheim, California. Officially [...]


There’s so many things we could do at the beach! We could surf with Matthew McConaughey! Sun with Jude Law! Play in the sand with an adorable dog . . . and George Clooney! Or watch Hugh Jackman . . . it doesn’t really matter what he’s doing, does it? Just watching him would be [...]


If you’ve been following my Facebook Page, then you know that I went to an estate sale Friday morning and found this: It’s an antique steamer trunk. But it wasn’t any old steamer trunk; it was LOCKED and NO ONE KNEW WHAT WAS IN IT. In fact, the company holding the sale had broken the [...]


On Facebook yesterday I asked whether readers preferred long or short hair on men. As I thought about it, I realized that every single hero I’ve written has longish hair. Not Legolas long, but brushing the collar long. Mostly slightly unkempt, in need of a barber. I don’t know why I do this, except that [...]
