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!​

Sunset Capital of Florida

​Just came back from several days at an author conference on St. Pete’s beach.   Because it’s business and so hectic, I kept forgetting to take photos! LOL.  But a few folks did manage to snap a picture here or there
 
The nice thing about visiting the Florida Gulf Coast is that unlike the beaches of Galveston Texas, there’s lots of white soft sand. A challenge to walk through but so pretty! 
​Thank heaven for other associates taking pictures!  Here we have one over lunch with some author friends, Kellie Coates Gilbert, Deb Clopton, Jan Moran, and Kay Correll are all lovely women, and I’ve read each of these authors, all great storytellers!  Of course the best part about conferences is meeting new people, it just takes me a while to remember names! LOL. But I have to thank Jan Moran for the solo photos – I’m thinking it’s worthy of replacing the old photos of brunette me – what do you think?  Maybe I'll wait to Spring when I lose a few pounds LOL. 
​Of course – we have to include the last night dinner –a beach blanket (okay tables) bash worthy of a movie.  The food – as you can see – was delicious. I didn’t get a desert photo but I’m sure y’all will forgive me.  Of course, my former assistant and still good friend Maria can always be counted on to take at least one photo of the two of us!  
​And then there was the best sunset show. This part of the Florida Gulf Coast (west side) is known for its amazing sunsets. 
​To end it all – my last afternoon working with authors – lunch was ordered and I got the biggest kick out of my fortune cookie – I guess there are perks to being a little nutty!

​Time to catch up on everything I’ve learned – oh – and I’m very proud of myself for writing every day despite all the business meetings!  Just One Shot is on schedule!  I’m off to work – have a great week!

I always hope to walk away from a conference with at least one or two things I can use - we'll see how this works out.

It's amazing to hear about your time at the author conference on St. Pete's beach! Your photos and stories capture the fun and friendship there. Your dedication to writing, even during busy days, is impressive. Can't wait for "Just One Shot"! Keep up the great work! 📚🌅
