Call off the search parties. I’m still here. Still writing. And yes… still slow as a sloth in heels at cranking out the words.   . But I’m working (and overthinking… my signature move) My next book is banter-filled, romantic, witty and so much fun. It always takes me a while to get in the […]

I love cable TV Christmas movies. They’re corny and ridiculous in the best way. A few years ago, I was on a Hallmark bender… living and breathing it. I was deep. Deep, deep. The snarky commentary between me (a glass of wine in hand), the hubs had us in tears. I mean, those towns were… […]

It’s been a while since I’ve posted an update on my books, my life, blah, blah, blah. If you are a Facebook friend, or member of my Facebook group, you know I’m going to be a grandma to an actual human being (not the furry kind that barks.) Little Miss is due in early June […]

New York real estate developer, Summer Sloane, was just handed a career-changing assignment… persuade three small business owners in the middle of nowhere to sell their properties to make way for a condo complex. Salivating at a juicy promotion, corner office, and impressing her hard-to-please father, she travels to wintry Arid Falls to dazzle the locals and get their signatures on the dotted line.

Little did she know she was stepping into a living, breathing Christmas town crammed with excessively cheerful, fruitcake-loving, over hair-gelled locals who are a few logs short of an open fire—a place even Hallmark would envy.

Her confidence is shaken when she meets charismatic lumberjerk, Nick Snow—the owner of a bait and tackle shop, guardian of a feisty eight-year-old, and her biggest obstacle.

With advice from her chiropractor-addicted best friend, Val… Summer ignores her growing affection for the town brimming with Christmas crackpots—and her undeniable attraction to the handsome, kindhearted Lumberjerk… who sends naughty tingles in all the wrong places.


Can Summer get her signatures and return home with her heart intact, or will the eccentric Christmas town and the man who gets her blood boiling and pulse racing change her mind?

~A little sweet, a little heat, a little offbeat~ Lace-up your snow boots… this is a steamy, laugh-out-loud, forced proximity, single dad, romcom.
