The Blog
If this is your first time here, I'm a romance writer and a misplaced city girl currently living in the wild Sierras.
I tend to have a lot of I-Love-Lucy moments that I share here but sometimes we talk about books, TV, and our favorite cookies. Okay, my favorite cookies. In any case, please feel free to comment by clicking on the Comments at the bottom of any entry. If you're too shy, that's okay, just know I love having you.
Look what I did!
First snow! Did we both almost die in the slippery white stuff? Yes. Did we both eat cookies to celebrate not dying? Also yes.

I’m off to finish a chapter. Today I’m writing a scene where my heroine is spying on the hero (she has reasons, they’re three-fold ) and she’s trying to be stealth. She doesn’t know it yet, but he knows she’s there. It wasn’t in my outline, but he insisted on knowing. Some heroes are like that lol. Shenanigans will ensue. Wish me luck.
Also, hope you have a great holiday season! I’m so grateful for each and every one of you!!!
XOXO!
Happy Reading

My Belated Halloween Scare AND signed books!
So the other day, I was alone in the house when a spider creepy-crawled out from beneath a dresser and ran right at me. I nearly died. DIED, I tell you. And I was barefoot too! My heart's STILL racing. So I promptly called the husband and shrieked WHERE ARE YOU? He had the nerve to be ten minutes away. So I told him to step on it and ten minutes later he found me sitting on a counter, staring at the spider, afraid to look away or it might escape. So… long story short, I made the husband a whole bunch of promises I have no intention of keeping, but the important thing here is that he unalived the spider. Please don’t come for me. I know spiders do good work. I just need them to hide and never show themselves. Ever.
After that stress, I went to the lake. (Well, to be honest, I ate my weight in cookies first) Yes, we’ve had first snow…!
Oh and I nearly forgot! Do you like signed books? Would you want a Shalvis signed book? Turn The Page Bookstore (owned by Nora Roberts!) has my Sunrise Cove series in stock, signed by ME! :) Go grab one for yourself, or as a holiday gift!

IT’S HERE, IT’S HERE!!!
Dear Reader,
Guess what? THE SWEETHEART LIST is out now! Writing this book felt … hard (the best ones always are hard!) I know I’m probably not supposed to admit that, but I had a prolonged bout with bronchitis and it was a struggle. Until … I realized that all my heroine wanted was a cupcake. Okay, that was me. I wanted a cupcake. 😊 But once I figured out that Harper was a baker at heart and she dreamed of running her own bakery, everything fell into place.
One of the things that stuck with me in this book … is maybe your life isn’t where you want it to be. Maybe everything’s fallen apart. But that doesn’t mean you can’t fix it. After losing … well, almost everything, Harper purposely sets out to bring joy back into her life, and the moment she decides that, things turn around for her. She and her dog Hambone (I can’t WAIT for you to meet Ham) move 650 miles away, to the last place that brought her joy.
Lake Tahoe.
She opens her bakery. Meets a BFF. Saves a runaway teen. And … falls hard for a sexy (and slightly grumpy) guy named Bodie Campbell. But is she brave enough to let everyone in? You’ll have to read the book to find out. 😊 Once you read, come find me either at www.instagram.com/jillshalvis or www.facebook.com/jillshalvis, or explore right here in my website and let me know what you think in the comments! Oh, and it's an honor to have you read my books, so thank you from the bottom of my heart! Happy reading!! XOXO, Jill
