I have released over twenty-five romance novels, including a contemporary western series titled "Romance on the Ranch." The initial story, "Dream Kisses," started out as a single novella, but turned into an ongoing saga when secondary characters cried out for their own stories. The series was completed with book 10 and its one of my proudest accomplishments. As for historical romance, I ventured into that genre with a four book series titled ...more

Moved to Florida and Finished Two Stories

It’s been a long time since I wrote a blog, but let’s give it a try. So much has happened since my last entry that it’s difficult to know where to begin. I think I’ll begin at the end and work my way backwards. At the end of 2023, hubby and I moved from Arizona to Florida. We loved Arizona, and lived there for over ten years, but now we love Flo Read more of this blog post »

I had decided I was not going to finish this one and I got up to make my lunch. When I sat backs down to wait for my soup to heat I read a few more pages. An" Read more of this review »

Verna Clay liked Madeline Carroll Surratt's review of Abby: Mail Order Bride (Unconventional, #1): "Comforting Story Just what I needed!! A little love story with a simple sweet message. It wasn’t long enough to really develop the characters, but the author gave you enough inspiration to love them. "

Verna’s Quotes

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
― William Faulkner

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”
― Agatha Christie
