This new story isn’t a pretty one….
My publisher, Champagne Book Group, has gone out of business. Step into the Sunlight, Fearless Summer, The Last Gift and Inn by the Lake have been delisted on all the usual book platforms. My two historical novels, Divided Loyalties and Love Letters & Gingerbread, are still available online.
That means, for the moment, that the only way to get my romance novels is through me—or at one of the bookstores that carry my work. I have a small supply of every book. I’ll bring them to the upcoming book festival Nov. 15. If you want a book for yourself or as a gift, contact me through the form at the bottom of this webpage and I’ll see that you get a copy, e-book or paperback.
I am working on finding a new publisher — My next book in the Chincoteague Seasons, LUCKY SPRING, had a contract but well, things happened. And I’ll be working on getting my books back online through my own publishing company, Foxhall Books. (That’s how I self-published Divided Loyalties after my first contract ended.)
STEP INTO THE SUNLIGHT:
Ava and Paul were born on the opposite sides of Ocean City, Maryland’s Boardwalk. But both know the burden of family legacies. How can they get out of their families’ shadows, and step into the sunlight? Published by Champagne Book Group, it is available from Amazon and BN.com. It is also available from Greyhound, an indie bookstore in Berlin, near Ocean City, and from bookshop.org, which supports independent booksellers, like Greyhound near Ocean City, Sundial in Chincoteague, Caprichos in Ocean Pines and Park Books in Severna Park.
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.
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?
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. Here’s a buy link for the paperback with the great new cover.
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!
All of my books are available on the shelves of The Greyhound in Berlin, Md. The good folks at Park Books in Severna Park carry Divided Loyalties and Fearless Summer. When you are in Chincoteague, stop by Sundial Books for a copy of Chincoteague-set Fearless Summer. Caprichos Books in Ocean Pines (west of Ocean City) and Backwater Books in Ellicott City have my books, too. You can order a copy online from Sundial, too. Supporting local books stores is a wonderful idea.
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
