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!​

Still Eating in France LOL

​This week we took a short drive to a nearby town for dinner out.  It was especially fun for me because we drove through wine country.  I snapped a couple of photos of vineyards as we rode passed.  It reminded me of how I imagine the vineyards in Baron’s book five Just One Taste – where sister Paige runs the vineyard. 
​At the end we arrived at this lovely former home that is now a marvelous restaurant. Walking up the hill, I freely admit, was very impressive.  Inside was even more entrancing. I felt like I’d stepped back in time. Right down to the antique dishes. 
​Of course, there’s no reason to mention how delicious the food was. In France, it’s pretty much a given that nothing tastes awful. Although I’ve heard the natives complain about the food served a time or two, for me, it’s always delicious.  And hard to resist. Every time we go out I gain a pound or two and then I have to be diligent the next day or two to lose those same pesky pounds! Even their colorful cocktails are very different and quite tasty (don’t ask me what’s in it I can’t remember LOL) 
​For anyone who cares – if you want to see a Frenchman have a heart attack, put cheese or fruit or crackers (either or all) on a charcuterie board.  The word itself in French means – very loosely- cold cuts.  As you can see, their version of cold cuts is way different than what I get at a sandwich at Subway LOL.  The cured meats are always tasty and they have a million versions of sausages/salamis (don’t call the salami or that Frenchman will have a second heart attack!  And of course, to go with the charcuterie board you have to have bread (not crackers).  The thing is, I’d never seen how a restaurant might cut the loaves. Well I watched. It was fascinating to see them hand slicing bread on what looked like an office paper cutter on steroids! Do you know what it’s called? Yep – a guillotine! LOL. 
​Now I’m off to work on the next Baron book – as soon as Just One Taste is back from the editor, I will let y’all know so anyone who is interested can pick up an early copy from my website.  Except first it’s time for a lunch of leftovers !!!
 
I’m curious are any of you guys cooks? Are you enjoying all these food posts LOL?
