By |2023-02-06T23:41:55+00:00March 2, 2016|book|Comments Off on City of Love, contemporary romance novel, out now!

I'm so excited to share that City of Love, part of Melissa Foster's Remington's Kindle World, is out now for your Kindle (Amazon only!).  The book is a part of a big release, sixteen stories all tied together. Kindle Worlds are such a fun escape for me as a writer because I have a chance to create  characters who get to have fun and romance in the city of New York, a completely different setting than my beach-based stories. It's also great to work in conjunction with all of these talented authors to grow a great world. I hope you'll give City of Love, and all these wonderful stories a read!                      More about City of Love: Her heart is empty in the new life she’s living. Charlotte Taylor knows she’s gorgeous. She’s been told that [...]

By |2023-02-06T23:47:31+00:00September 5, 2014|Posts|Comments Off on Focused on September? I’m thinking about Christmas!

It's funny! I've never written a Christmas story before so when Tule Publishing asked me if Indigo Island could be festive for the holidays, I said of course! You of course have read book 1 -  Weekend with the Tycoon and book 2 - Lines in the Sand and are anxiously awaiting book 3! Right? (Thank you if you said yes!) In addition to MY Christmas story, The Trouble with Christmas, Southern Born Books will release three other Carolina-set novellas! I'm so excited to be a part of all the holiday festivities and I hope you will be, too! Here's the spectacular cover! So enjoy the rush of back-to-school, the fun of fall and stay tuned for more about Christmas! The Trouble with Christmas releases November 10th! Indigo Island is wonderfully romantic during the holiday season, at least if you're Cole and Lily! Here's a [...]

Anticipation.

By |2023-02-06T23:49:25+00:00April 8, 2014|attitude|Comments Off on Anticipation.

It's that time of year. Anticipation is in the air. Some of us watch and marvel at the first buds of spring, anticipating the glorious flowers to appear. Others, like my high school son, anxiously await spring break to arrive this Friday. It's of course, the time for Easter and Passover. And for many authors, it's the time when new books are released. Including mine. I was trying to explain the feeling I have inside, the anxiety surrounding a new release and it's hard to explain to someone who isn't in the creative field. But for those of us who are, you get it. It's unveiling the work of art for the first time, playing your new song in front of a live crowd for the first time, that butterfly inducing, fingernail biting feeling.  And sure, reviews are already appearing, so I'm already getting accustomed [...]
