I said I’d help out this summer and I hate to leave them in a lurch right at the beginning because we’re going away for a week. I promise it’s just a couple of hours until their dad gets home every day. Celebrate your ten years and get your freak on with your husband. Mom’s keeping Isabella, the boys are easy. I promise they’ll be alive when you get home. I know how to feed them, clean them and protect them from peril. They go to camp every day, you’ll be home next Sunday afternoon. And yes, I remember I’m picking up your neighbor’s kids every day and keeping them for a couple hours, too. Stopping to grab a straw, I go on, “I’ll be there Monday to pick the boys up from camp at two o’clock. “Nothing,” I say as I make my way through my favorite crowded burger joint. He has the nerve to add, “Come back soon.” “Oh, sorry,” he says sheepishly, his face turning red. “Hey,” I bark with the phone still to my ear, “eyes up here.”

“Would you stop worrying, Soph,” I reiterate to my sister, again, as I roll my eyes at the teenage boy who won’t take his off my boobs while handing me my diet limeade.

They make me happy and I hope you love them as much as I do. I’ve been planning Paige and Cam since I started writing Overflow.

Eventually, I hope to have a website up and going with a special corner for recipes. Should you want a recipe mentioned in this book-other than the cheesecake-please give me a shout at. This is my disclaimer: I only claim a few as my own creations. They’ve come from friends, cookbooks, television shows, magazines and cookie exchanges. Like all tried and true recipes, I’ve collected them over time. I’ve made them all, minus the Baileys Irish Cream Cheesecake (it was one of our wedding cakes and I added it for sentimental reasons). There are many recipes mentioned in this book. And if you’ve read my books, you can tell I really love babies.Īfter reading Athica Lane, you’ll learn I also enjoy cooking. I’m from the Midwest, I love Colorado and I have a deep affection for Texas. I hope I’ve done a little bit of that while providing an escape for those who want a Happily Ever After. My goal was to create “real people” characters in less than real situations. When I started writing, I made the decision to write about what I love in life.
