I can't get the mountains out of my mind, even though I've moved away. My female characters seeks independence and an unusual life. I'm building stories to continue the Telluride Trilogy and introduce more women who are deciding their own futures independent of the men they love.

I find that stories provide a diversion to life's troubles. Fiction and nonfiction alike provide insights to help us put our own lives in context. And when our troubles are overwhelming, they provide an escape that provides great comfort.

There was a kid on my son's baseball team named Johnny Shaw, which was a name I just couldn't put out of my mind. JS had a real swagger to him, even though he was barely 17. He was just the kind of guy who made a bookish girl like me lose sleep at night when I was his age. What better character for a romance novel that a quietly confident, complex athlete?
