Hi everyone. Here's my bio but I moved to first person - it's not like I didn't write it! LOL I think romance writing is nearly as good as the real thing.

Holy Smokes!

I can't believe how long it's been since I've dropped a blog post. To be fair, the personal aspects of life, outside of writing, are a constant distraction but I feel like I'm seeing the light after April 15h! I have several books in the works but let's just call it what it is...plodding.
