Blog postDo you ever read a book and immerse yourself in that location and the story–sort of a “Calgon, take me away” moment? I just finished reading a book set in Hawaii, and those gorgeous islands sure called to me.
We haven’t been there for almost three years, but I can close my eyes and feel the lovely sand beneath my toes, and imagine that warm water. And the pools! Ahhh, for an afternoon floating around in the sunshine…

Blog postAnnouncing a new release is a little like sending out a new birth announcement: a little pride and more than a bit of relief. Because I treat deadlines as a personal dare (let that deadline get real up close and scary before I actually write!) I’m usually physically and mentally wrecked by the time I get it done. But on the bright side, unlike childbirth I don’t have an extra ten pounds to lose and night feedings to look forward to. Point for me

Blog postRoxanne Rustand, here…
It sure seems like the holidays are upon us now–with bitter wind chills, and a beautiful blanket of new snow. Time is flying too quickly, with lots of shopping and wrapping and baking to do…not to mention the Christmas cards to write. If you celebrate the holiday season, are you better organized than I am this year?

Blog postIt’s always been an eventful month, at least for me. Lots of up and a few downs in the years since I was born on the 8th day of the 9th month. November 2013 was no exception. It ended happily, but it was an uphill trudge getting there, and I’ll make the long story short in just a few minutes. First, about this beautiful holiday package…

Blog postRoxanne Rustand here, wishing you all safe travels, and that you will be able to arrive at your destination in good time. Listening to the weather reports has me praying for all of you out East who are facing such difficult weather.
Here in the Midwest, the sun is shining and the weather is cold, but we just have a dusting of snow. I’ve been cleaning like mad, getting the guest rooms ready, shopping, and planning our menu.

Blog postI am my mother. I know because two weeks ago when I flew to San Diego, I boarded the plane with a pocket knife in my purse. Why you ask? Not the point. The point is, I was x-rayed, as was my purse. No one raised an eyebrow about the knife. In fact, no one mentioned it, which kind of makes me think no one noticed it since they did take offense to my belt buckle. Really?
But let me tell you about my mother’s experience. It was two years ago. We were flying to Florida to visit my sister.9 years ago Read more -
Blog postIt’s fun to return to my old stomping grounds and talk to you a little about my new release, THE WAY HOME. Thanks, Kylie, for inviting me.
But first – allow me to play catch up a bit. It’s been a busy year, as usual. We took our kids and grandkids to Disneyland, California Adventure, Hollywood Studios and the beach this past summer. Wow what a trip. Gramma and Grandpa had figured it would be an endurance test for us and more or less planned to watch the k9 years ago Read more -
Blog postHi all,
Sorry I’m posting late today. I have been on a twenty-four hour search for my wedding ring. I managed to hang on it to for 37 years, and now its MIA. One of the prongs bent, and I’d been waiting to send it with my dh down to the jeweler in Fairfield, the next time he headed that way. But alas–we went on a trip and rather than leave it in an obvious place like the jewelry cabinet or a top dresser drawer, I hid it. So well, in fact, that I still cannot fi9 years ago Read more

Ex-cop Kellen McBride has decided to make Cate's bar his nightly haunt. He likes Cate's sassy Irish spirit and wild red hair. He also has an ulterior motive for getting close to her. Cate has sworn off all things romantic, but when she comes home to a ransacked apartment, a roommate who has flown the coop, and a sleeping bullmastiff named Beast, Cate has no choice but to ask Kellen for help.
Can Kate resist the charming Kellen McBride while keeping herself out of danger? Or will Kellen turn up the heat on Cate and everything in her life?
We know you'll have a blast with HOT STUFF!
