Fearless Love, my seventh Konigsburg book, is now available in print from the usual outlets. All of my Konigsburg books include animals. I’m not sure how this happened, it just did. Starting with a diabolic cat and a sweet-natured Chihuahua in Venus In Blue Jeans, I had a greyhound in Wedding Bell Blues, a mostly […]
So I’m currently involved in a multi-week blog hop for Medium Rare, Book 2 in the Ramos Family/Medium Trilogy. The first week (and several weeks thereafter) I’m with Orangeberry, a British book publicity group. The second week I’m with Goddess Fish. So I’m including a schedule here with a large, honking caveat: Orangeberry is posting […]

I just got back from the 2013 Romance Writers of America conference in Atlanta. It’s still too soon for me to make any kind of coherent statement, but I can describe a few memories while they’re fresh. 1. Atlanta may be lovely—I don’t really know. I spent most of my time in the Marriott trying […]
