Hello, friends and generous readers!
Welcome to my Goodreads page! I write romances, mysteries, suspense, and women’s fiction. Grab one of my books and see what you think. Are you a fan of humorous, first-person mysteries? Readers have lots of fun with Ricky Steele (Prepped to Kill, Gadfly, Jigsaw, Lost in Spindle City, and Poof!). How about small-town cozy mysteries? Join Roger and Bess (A Friend of Silence, In the Name of Silence, and The Silence of Memory) in the village of Old Harbor where murders occur almost as much as in Cabot Cove. (Roger and Bess Mysteries).
Did someone say romance? Aside from stand-alone romances like Widow’s Island and Hestor’s Way, I write two popular romance series -- Morgan’s Run (twelve books and counting) and Morgan’s Fire (seven titles with more on the way!). Morgan’s Run books are set in the beautiful U.S. southwest and are peopled with gorgeous cowboys and strong, contemporary women. The spin-off series, Morgan’s Fire moved some of the gang east to the New England coastal village of Horseshoe Crab Cove where the romance sizzles and amazing couples find their way to happily ever after.
I also have a YA title, Song of the Spirit, an award-winning historical romance that explores the kidnapping, torture, and enculturation of indigenous children in so-called “Indian schools.” That book features one of my favorite characters, Wind Flower, a strong resilient teenager who protects her younger sister and holds onto her values and culture, despite the daily cruelties of life at Rose Academy.
I am now retired from teaching, but my scholarly work continues. I am currently writing about my recent research-- the impact of mindfulness on readers and writers. I live on a beautiful river and when not writing, I love to spend time with family and friends, practice yoga, swim, walk, canoe, and teach mindfulness to people of all ages. Life is full!

It was a bad week for new releases at the library when I saw this series. I do enjoy a series, since I read a lot and quickly, and series choose my next 7 or 8 books for me, while providing me with increasingly better developed characters. But this series has issues. For one thing, absolutely no couple has sex in a bed, ever. Evidently you aren't really in love unless you have sex outdoors in a semi-public place IN F-ing ARIZONA. This includes the most sophisticated couple, an architect and a doctor in a brand-new off-white dress. She just sprawls on the grass, no problem. So much for the dress. Does the M. stand for Michael? Rose did get a little more lovemaking than Prescott's standard insertion/near instant orgasm, but that was only because she had been raped a few days earlier. Right. A few days. A man must have written this. Her recovery consisted of a rape kit, her brother calling the police, her not talking to them, deciding not to press charges, one visit to a therapist, skipping work for 2 weeks, and then being the one to instigate with her almost-boyfriend less than a week later. Then they don't talk about what they want for the rest of the book, making all sorts of stupid assumptions about themselves and each other. This is a common romance trope, I know, but it is dragged out with excruciating slowness, or at least it felt that way. Or maybe now that I'm four books in, some of the smaller issues are just getting to me, like spelling errors and facts that don't make sense, like a harrassment case that would not get filed since the alleged harrasser is in a lower position than the supposed harrassed person.

I love the Morgan’s family. They remind me of my own-not the money, but the fireworks. Everything is fine one minute and the next, all heck breaks out.
