Let me tell you a story.


PREORDER NOW: STEP INTO THE SUNLIGHT:
Ava and Paul were born on the opposite sides of Ocean City’s Boardwalk. But both know the burden of family legacies. How can they get out of their families’ shadows, and step into the sunlight? Preorder from Champagne. Releasing in e-book only Feb. 12.

FEARLESS SUMMER:
Set among the beaches and wild ponies that have made Chincoteague famous, FEARLESS SUMMER brings Charlotte home to help her sisters run a new shop in town. She hasn’t been home since her break-up with Henry eight years before. The possibility of meeting him almost makes her say no. Sisterly love convinces her she can handle a return to Chincoteague. It is available in paperback and ebook.

THE LAST GIFT:
Set sail on a Mediterranean cruise with Donna, a workaholic afraid of boats, and Scottie, a ship’s officer who loves the sea more than anything—except maybe Donna, if she’ll have him.  Being a romantic doesn’t make you hopeless. THE LAST GIFT is available in paperback as well as an e-book from Champagne Books, as well as at Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble.

INN BY THE LAKE:
Bad aim brought together the lawyer and the innkeepers’ son. Everything else drove them apart. Can the inn’s past promise them a future? Order the e-book or paperback today.

HISTORICAL NOVELS:
DIVIDED LOYALTIES relates the story of a young Irish immigrant determined to defend her country when Civil War tears her community, and her family apart. I wrote my Christmas novella, LOVE LETTERS & GINGERBREAD, with Jane Austen fans in mind. It is set in Jane’s era, but in Annapolis, Md. More information is here.

Support a local bookstore!

Book lovers, how are you spending Feb. 29? It’s a day so special it only comes once every four years!
Why not come to Backwater Books’ Bibliopub on Ellicott City’s Main Street for a drink and a chat with six local authors! I’ll be there with my sweet romances and historical novels. The book store’s pub is on the second floor. The event will be held 7-9 p.m.

All of my books are available on the shelves of The Greyhound in Berlin, Md., or the online shelves of Bookshop.org. The good folks at Park Books in Severna Park have Divided Loyalties and Fearless Summer on their shelves. When you are in Chincoteague, stop by Sundial Books for a copy of Chincoteague-set Fearless Summer. You can order a copy online from Sundial, too. Supporting local books stores is a wonderful idea.

My assistant Daisy is good at keeping me company.

About me

I love to write stories about characters who don’t quite have the faith in themselves that they need. Faced with a challenge, they set out, never quite believing, on a journey of discovery. They may find love. They may find the answer to a problem. But always, they find happiness, confidence, family. I give these stories to you as an escape in troubled times. Enjoy the journey. MORE
