Thanks for stopping by.  If you’re new to my website, I’m the author of over fifty romantic fiction novels, and a series of short stories I call  Flirts. I love to tell a story that sometimes makes you laugh, sometimes makes you cry, often has a surprise or two, but always ends happily ever after.

I live in North Texas with my husband, a rescued German Shepherd who believes himself to be the neighborhood goodwill ambassador (the German Shepherd, not my hubby),  a fifty-pound American Pit Bull who is convinced he's a lapdog.  Occasionally I get to puppysit my Golden Retriever  grandpuppy.  All dutifully sit at my feet as I write my next story.

So come on in, explore my pages, and see what's in store for you!​

Fun in Brooklyn

I lived in NY for over twenty years before moving to Texas.  At the ripe old age of sixteen, I worked one spring break in Brooklyn with my mother.  All I saw of Brooklyn was the view from the Whitestone Bridge to the workplace.  So this week I made my first real trip into Brooklyn!
 
We – my maid of honor and I – started at the Ripped Bodice bookstore. A bookstore that only sells romance novels. What a cool place. The original bookstore opened in the Los Angeles area. The Brooklyn location opened recently. The thing that impressed me most, the number of neighborhood people wandering in and shopping. We weren’t there long, but the place was hopping the whole time. They don’t sell my books, but I did give a few business cards to a few shoppers LOL. 
​Next we took a short detour to what I call the Blue Bloods house.  One of my favorite television shows is Blue Bloods. I think it’s why the Farradays always have Sunday dinner LOL.  Anyhow, I couldn’t resist hunting down the family home when I was so close. It was kind of cool !

​From there we went a few blocks away to St. Ephram’s church. On 9/11 someone posted a photo of a statue with the twin towers. When I realized it was in Brooklyn, I wanted to go.  From what we could decipher, the little garden area is a memorial for the parishioners who lost their lives that day.  The part that always cuts me deeply is seeing that most of them were under 30 years old.  I found the garden area very peaceful and a wonderful memorial. 
Do you watch Blue Bloods? Have a favorite character? Episode? 

This week I'm in Florida for a conference and working on book six of the Barons -  hope everyone has preordered the next Baron - Just One Take releasing next week!
