Newest installment in the Chincoteague Seasons coming October 2026!! Fearless Summer to be re-released!
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! You don’t have to wait to order it, though. Pre-sales available on Amazon, BN.com, and Bookshop.org.
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.
Flock Publishing has also accepted Fearless Summer for re-release. I’m so glad this wonderful publisher will have both of my Chincoteague books. It will be released in time for summer 2027 reading as Book Two of the Chincoteague Seasons series.
Since my previous publisher, Champagne Book Group, went out of business, I’m busy getting my other romance novels ready for rerelease under my own Foxhall Books imprint.
Available now pm the usual online book platforms: Step into the Sunlight and Inn by the Lake. All of my books are on the shelves of several bookstores, including two Ocean City area bookstores, The Greyhound in Berlin and Caprichos in its new location in Snow Hill, Sundial in Chincoteague, and Backwater Books in Ellicott City.
My two historical novels, Divided Loyalties and Love Letters & Gingerbread, are still available online and in the same bookstores.
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, now in new digs in Snow Hill, 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
