Newest installment in the Chincoteague Seasons coming October 2026!!

Lucky Spring, the story of Anne Beauchamp and the country singer she loves, will be released by Flock Publishing this fall. Look for it in October in e-book and paperback and—this is exciting—audiobook!

If you read Fearless Summer, you’ve met Anne, the snarky little sister of Charlotte, the main character of my second chance romance, Fearless Summer. My new book tells the story of how Charlotte and her hot cowboy husband Joe found one another. Of course, there’s a happy ending but you’ll want to read it to experience all the joy, heartbreak, and final happiness.

Since my previous publisher, Champagne Book Group, went out of business, my other romance novels Step into the Sunlight, Fearless Summer, The Last Gift and Inn by the Lake are not currently available on all the usual online book platforms. They are still available from me and from a number of local bookstores, including The Greyhound in Berlin, Caprichos which will soon reopen in Snow Hill, Sundial in Chincoteague, and Backwater Water Books in Ellicott City.

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. While supplies last, as they say.

My two historical novels, Divided Loyalties and Love Letters & Gingerbread, are still available online and in the same bookstores.

Look for second editions of my romances to appear online in the coming months. First, I have to work on revisions for the release of Lucky Spring.
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.

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
