I’m in Branson, Missouri this weekend with my writing partner, Lori Copeland, to develop the plot of our sixth co-authored novel, Rainy Day Dreams, book 2 in the Seattle Brides series. I wish you could see how much fun we have when we’re plotting a book. At times we laugh so hard we can’t talk, and have to take a break to compose ourselves before we can get anything else done.

After we came up with what we think is a terrific story, we went out to celebrate. Nothing says, “Job well done!” like a gigantic banana split, don’t you think? But we might have been a little optimistic in this one.
