Thanks for stopping by.  If you’re new to my website, I’m the author of over thirty 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 the Dallas area 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!

Time flies when you're having fun!

​I can’t believe how quickly time is flying by.  Only a few more days before I head south to my daughter’s on grandbaby watch!  Yesterday I went to the high school graduation party for my dog sitter. She’s the middle of three girls and lives around the corner. I just know that I’m going to blink and my granddaughter who isn’t even here yet will be all grown up – for some things in life, time passes much too quickly.
 
Things with mom are going so so. We are thankful for a family practitioner who orders every therapy that medicare will cover and even though life is getting more expensive every day we supplement a few things that medicare won’t pay for. So far it appears that her digression is progressing more slowly than the average Alzheimer’s trajectory that she’s been on till now. We credit all the therapy. Nothing miraculous, but she’s still pretty healthy. The challenge of course is that she is still smart as a whip, too sneaky for her own good, and reminds me of a mischievous toddler more and more. Most recently we had to put a plastic lock box on the thermostat after a ginormous energy bill because she keeps turning the heat on in the middle of summer (Keep in mind that summer strikes Texas early lol). Well as I said she’s still smart so when no one is watching she’s taken a screw driver and pair of scissor to pry at it. Needless to say when she finally succeeded, she turned the heat back to 85.  We’ve put the plastic back, put a big note do not touch on it, then I wrote a note for her that my husband makes her read every morning when she gets her pills, so far it seems to be helping!
 
As for my writing, I’m still working on book two for the billionaire series – which has a name. Ready? Drum roll: LOL: The Barons of Texas.  Book one will be Chase Baron’s story. Book two his brother Kyle and three his sister Beth. I’m pretty excited to finish book two and get to three because it will be my first time writing a scientist heroine who creates perfumes!  The goal is to have book two finished before the baby comes and then do my best to start working on the next book. I should have some release dates soon – if all goes well – the first books will begin releasing in October but that’s not confirmed yet.
 
As I mentioned earlier, summer strikes Texas earlier than up north. This year 90 degree weather struck early in May. Yesterday we were cooking. I suspect had a I cracked an egg on the sidewalk it would have fried – lol.  Today a cold front moved in – well, that’s if you consider 77 cold – but it’s been a nice break. The next couple of days will bring some much needed rain for the yards. By the time the heat returns I will be heading south.
 
What’s the weather in your neck of the woods? Do you live in early summer or late spring country?

Mother Nature, in Kansas City, is unable to make up her mind. Today, 3pm it’s 68. Yesterday it was also cool. Last Thursday it was close to 90 and the boys played in the pool. Crazy weather!!!

Over the weekend we have temps in the mid-50's herd in the Twin Cities of MN. Up north had freeze warnings. It's better this week as temps are in the 60's. Mother Nature usually has a field day with temps & weather all over the place. It's like she's dealing with menopause.

Weather in Colorado Springs, Colorado has been typical for Mother Nature enjoying Spring in this gorgeous place. A week ago Friday was a beautiful day in the 80s. Perfect Graduation weather! Our guests from Oklahoma were as surprised as we were to get 14 inches of heavy, wet Spring snow. Trees down everywhere. There was so much snow that when a decent sized tree slowly fell on their rental car, it didn’t even damage it. Our son-in-law and his twin 18 year old twin sons had to come with a chain saw to make a path from the front door to the street! We aren’t anywhere near finished cleaning up yet! Even the city says it will take them 6 months to clear up all the trees that are their responsibility!

Oh my! I would have a heart attack if we got that kind of snow in May! Thank heaven no person or property was damaged! Hope you thaw out soon!
