Hi MK!
I totally missed this question! I recently released SCENT IF DANGER part of THE MACBAIN series. (They can be read as stand-alones). Now I'm working on another MACBAIN book - tentatively titled WHEN I DANCE. In both books, you'll see familiar characters or settings from the BIG SKY DREAMERS series.

This is a great question! I am reading all the RITA finalists--and loving the books! There are 58 books! But some I had already read because they are my friends! On B&N you can input 2017 RITA Finalist as a search and it pulls up all the books. On Amazon, you would need to know the authors - so here's the list https://www.rwa.org/page/2017-finalists. ENJOY!

Hi Melinda M!
Thanks for the question. I get my ideas from everything! I've gotten them from the news and travelling.
My Fitzgerald House series idea came from when I had traveled with my 3 sisters to Savannah. I fell in love with the historic district and then the What ifs started -- What if 4 sisters owned a crumbling mansion in the historic district? What if the mansion had been turned into a B and B? What if the oldest sister wanted to open a restaurant, but they didn't have the money because the B and B took all their free cash.
Then I just had to find the exact heros for the sisters. (There are currently only 3 sisters in the series.) But I am currently drafting the 6th book in this series and I've had so much fun with the Savannah B and B!

Oh my. There are so many wonderful couples. I think Whitney and Westmoreland in Whitney, My Love. They have such a struggle to get to Happily Ever After. But I love all the heroes and heroines in Jude Deveraux Velvet series too.

I'm working on the Proposal for Book 2 in the Fitzgerald family series. I'm having fun figuring out ways to torment Bess and Daniel as they take a risk and fall in love.
