Hi Karen, thanks for asking! It's a series I did for Harlequin's Superomance line, years ago! Some I've republished, some not.

Kelly, thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed them. We writers do this in a vacuum, writing what touches us. Then we send it out in the world, and without hearing from readers, we don't know if what touched us, touches anyone else.
Letting an author know what you think, means more than you know.
Thank you!

The book I just turned in, the next in my Widow's Grove small town series, is a 'fish out of water story' (I so love those). I wondered what would happen if a woman who doesn't drink alcohol loses everything . . . except a winery she's inherited.

Never quit.
My mantra is from Randy Pausch's The Last Lecture:
"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.”

A good writing day. When the words flow and I'm proud of the result. Creating characters and stories that move me - and hopefully move my readers.

If I'm stuck, it's usually because I've made a mistake, and am heading in the wrong direction.
For some reason, getting on my bicycle and riding unkinks the plot, and the answer just pops into my brain!
