Save the Beebe ranch for future readers
One month isn’t a long time to save a literary landmark.
Join me at the Write Women book festival
I am participating in the Write Women Book Fest Saturday, Oct. 8, with the Maryland Romance Writers. In fact, I’m the coordinator for this group of successful, professional writers and those who are well on their way to novel success.

Worth ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️? Or just ⭐️?
Did you read FEARLESS SUMMER? Did you get out your hankie? Dab away a little something from the corner of your eye? Sigh with contentment when you closed it? Did you—metaphorically, since this is an e-book—throw it across the room and call it a piece of crap? Or, oh no I hope not, worse? Did…

FEARLESS SUMMER: My new book is out now!
When NASA’s Wallops Island with it wide open field dotted with impressive satellite dishes appeared on my left, I felt a twinge deep in my belly. It grew stronger as I started across the causeway to Chincoteague Island. That’s how Chapter Three of FEARLESS SUMMER brings Charlotte home to Chincoteague. Seeing the facility that launches…
Another day in Chincoteague.
As I celebrate the arrival tomorrow of my new book FEARLESS SUMMER: RETURN TO CHINCOTEAGUE, I’m sharing a few photos that have served as my inspiration as I wrote this super sweet romance. It’s a small town on a barrier island though the population swells significantly during beach season. Couples and families like to pose…
Welcome to Chincoteague
As I celebrate the arrival this Wednesday of my new book FEARLESS SUMMER: RETURN TO CHINCOTEAGUE, I thought I’d share a few photos that have served as my inspiration as I wrote this super sweet romance. It’s a small town on a barrier island though the population swells significantly during beach season. Sometimes there are…
Coming attractions…
I’ve created a book trailer for my new book, FEARLESS SUMMER: Return to Chincoteague, which releases in e-book format August 10 from Champagne Books. It’s just a quick 90 second look at my second-chance romance. To view it, you have to go to YouTube. I hope you like it. I really hope you like it…
