Welcome!

Welcome to my writing world and thank you for taking the time to visit. 

The possibility of second chances inspires me as I observe the world and imagine what could be.  And that’s what fills my stories; one true love, one honest hope, one more chance. 

I invite you to join me as I introduce you to some remarkable characters as they fight their fears and climb insurmountable obstacles for that second chance.

An impossible demand...

Max Jernigan is ready to close the most important business deal of his life—all he has to do is agree to one request from Grayson Crowell: impregnate the mogul's daughter.

No way can Max do this. He's a decent guy. But he would love a child. He just doesn't want a wife.

An impossible man...

C.C. Crowell gave up on dreams of a family after Mr. Worse-Than-Wrong broke her heart. Hiding behind spreadsheets, boring suits and an icy attitude, she's more than a little suspicious when arrogant, handsome Max is suddenly chasing her. But she can't deny their chemistry. Until she learns about the deal and plans to pay Max back in kind....

A wise and humorous tale of living large after 40, this story is intended for every woman who has ever done what she was “supposed” to do instead of what she “wanted” to do.

For Cyn, Derry, and Shea, life's about to take an unexpected turn as they venture on a month long escape from their suburban existences to embark on 'The Great Do-Over' at the hands of the New Age Granny Clampett guru, Tula Rae.

My Book rated 4.5 blue ribbons at Junkies. 

"Desperate Housewives meets Thelma and Louise Plus One in NOT YOUR EVERYDAY HOUSEWIFE. The question is, will the characters end in a pouf of quirky chaos like the ladies of Wisteria Lane or end up driving off an emotional cliff like the famous movie heroines?"
-- Kris Jones, Reviewer - Romance Junkies

“Not Your Everyday Housewife is not your ordinary romance.”
-- Suzie Housley, Midwest Book Review

 

Coming March 4, 2011 from The Wild Rose Press:

A Taste of Seduction

A young woman of noble blood, raised as a peasant girl . . .

An orphaned stable boy, now grown and the surrogate son of a powerful earl – the same earl who just so happens to be the young woman’s father . . .

Meriel and Anthony have nothing in common--she runs barefoot and talks to animals, he won’t loosen his cravat unless the bedroom door is firmly closed.  Meriel believes in love, hope, and happily ever after.  Anthony believes in keeping a safe distance from anything resembling an emotion.  They have nothing in common but an undeniable, burning desire for one another they can’t ignore or understand, and an ailing "father" who will do anything to see them together. Unfortunately, there are others, cunning and manipulative, working behind the scenes.  Others who will stop at nothing, willing even to kill, to keep them apart.
