The green thumb of Janis Lane brings us her gardening tips. PLANTING FOR FALL Some plants will perform admirably in the summer but must be stored for winter. Dahlias are a great example. Although fairly expensive, they are certainly worth investing for their gorgeous blossoms, but the fat tubers must be dug and brought inside (cellar) for the winter. There are several ways to care for them, but important is to keep them relatively dry in storage. Perhaps wrapped in newspaper and tucked safety inside a paper bag and stored on an upper shelf away from the damp floor. After digging, the large tuber may be separated for an abundance of new plants in the next year. Each piece should contain at least three ‘eyes.” Remove as much soil as possible before storing.                 Plant out in the spring when all danger of frost has left. Dahlias are a large plant and, although bred for the cut flower market with strong stems, should be st...

Nearly every book I write involves food in some way or fashion. Some in slight ways some because a meal effected me so greatly I have to give it a staring role. This happened with Roosevelt beans when I was rafting on the Snake River. And they ended up along with the chef in Infiltrating her Pack.  I would like to say the same to Pumpkin Waffles but I have to admit to just loving pumpkin. So although there are Waffles in my story The Billionaire Trap they aren't Pumpkin... #sorrynotsorry dom’s Morning After Pumpkin Waffles INGREDIENTS: ·          2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour ·          ¼   cup brown sugar ·          1   tsp baking powder ·          2 tsp pumpkin spice ·          1/2 teaspoon baking soda ·        ...

A SERIES IN THE MAKING by Marci Boudreaux Never before have I felt the need to make a series bible. Maybe because I’ve only written one series before and had no idea what the hell I was doing! On to series two…the title is still a work in progress, but I have some ideas that I’m just waiting for my editor to tell me are crap so I can start over. (She’d say it very nicely, though.) This new series is about a detective agency run and operated by some pretty kick ass dames who don’t take crap from nobody—especially the men in their lives. This is also completely out of the norm for me, so we'll see what (if anything) happens to it. Meet the ladies of the yet to be named agency that will be doing awesome to be determined kick ass things! Also known as Em's imaginary friends for the next year or so. Problem is, unlike my last series, I’m dropping all the characters into book one. Most will be in the background so I don’t boggle anyone’s brain with a huge cast. ...

In Disenchanted , sixteen-year-old Sophie’s quirky Aunt Janie runs a shop called Scents and Scentsabilities. The shop is situated in downtown historic Wethersfield, Connecticut and resembles a picturesque Pottery Barn for enchanted bath and body products.

 Some of you know my day job deals with plants in all sorts of ways from wedding flowers to church bouquets to perennials and annuals. I call it playing in the greenhouses. Mostly I have not given any of my characters, either historical or contemporary, permission to dialog about gardening. With the release of Whispers of Danger and Love , I am exposing my love of plants through the personality of Cheryl Esterbrook, a landscape designer. She has other things to think besides the hunky detective who lives next door. Cheryl is stuck with a mobster who hired her to design a complete landscape in two weeks and a creepy former boyfriend who will not stop annoying her. This new book is a romance, an adventure, a mystery, and a glimpse into the world of plants. Did I love writing it? You bet I did! Hope you enjoy reading. My favorite plant? Crocosmia.

I'm excited to introduce you to Friends Without Benefits Book 2 in the Stonehill Romance series by Marci Boudreaux . This heartwarming sweet romance is one you won't want to miss.

She's in over her head, but she is determined to survive.  Even if everyone else saw it coming, Paul O'Connell was blindsided by his wife's affair and attempt to bleed him dry. He reaches out to Dianna--the woman who caught their spouses cheating--in hopes that her testimony at his divorce hearing will prevent him from paying alimony.  Dianna and Paul become fast friends and maybe a bit too dependent on each other, but who are they hurting? No one. At least not until Dianna's life takes yet another unexpected twist and she and Paul have to reevaluate everything...including what they mean to each...

Dominic Dundragon, the man she’s been half in love with her whole life. A man who’s been dead for 700 years.  They both have enemies aplenty. Will she have a chance to win his love, or will this adventure end in disaster?    Maggie yelped as, without warning, the burly warrior named Declan whipped her up into his arms and tossed her over his shoulder. To her horror, she lost the hold on her locket.  “Wait,” she cried. She wriggled to get free, but his grip was too hard. When she pummeled his back with her fists as he strode from the circle of stones, he chuckled. The beast. But to be fair, he was so large, it would have felt like a kitten batting him. “Put me down.”  “I willna,” he said. “The Mackintosh will decide how you die.”  All right...

Someone asked which books of mine are BBW.  For those of you unfamiliar with that term it stands for Big Beautiful Woman . I personally prefer Reubenesque myself :) So here they are including those coming soon. I also wanted to address the question of why not have all my Sherman books be BBW.  The answer is simple just as we are all different the Sherman brothers aren't all going to fall for the same type of woman. Lucas fell for a petite little Killoran and Trent will be falling in love with someone that shares his love of Rock Climbing. That being said the Sherman Cousins are all BBW as the Sherman women are a curvaceous lot :) So here they are including those coming soon. The Sherman Series.
