I have a new trilogy beginning August 25, Lone Star Lovers, and the first book, TEXAS HEARTTHROB, features Liam Sullivan, who appeared in TEXAS STRONG. I'll be getting back to Sweetgrass with a Christmas novella, COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS, which I'm writing right now, but first I hope you'll enjoy the stories of Liam and his two brothers, their stories coming in Sept. and Oct.

Knowing that you've brought pleasure (even when it comes in the form of some sniffles or tears) is such a blessing. And when readers write to tell me that my stories helped them through a rough time...I swear there's no better feeling on the planet. I am profoundly grateful, honored and humbled to be allowed to share my stories with others.(less)
