During the release week of my newest book, Game of Spies, a most amazing thing happened. A Twitter thread about my writing went viral. The source of this tweet was my daughter, Katie. My mom (@PamMingle) started writing romance novels a few years ago (a thread!) pic.twitter.com/LhxWgfE2Yz — Katie Mingle (@katiemingle) June 24, 2019 Over […]
The state of the world. And the state of your world. In other words, the big picture and the the narrower one pertaining particularly to you and those you love.

We spent two weeks in San Diego and ten days in Carlsbad, a charming beach town north of the city. During our […]
You might ask, “Why the bluebells?” This is a photo I took on a walking trip in England several years ago. I guess it’s indicative of how much I’m longing for spring to arrive in Denver! I’m pleased to announce a new book coming August 28, 2017. It’s called A Lady’s Deception and is the […]
