I wanted to write as soon as I learned to read. I dabbled with stories and poems for years, but didn't start writing seriously until many years later. My favorite books have always been mysteries and romances, so the mix in romantic suspense was a natural. I love writing romantic suspense because it throws the hero and heroine together under extraordinary circumstances and pits them against a clever villain. My books have been both a Romantic Times Magazine Reviewer’s Choice Nominee and a finalist for the Daphne du Maurier Award. Reviewers have called my books fast-paced, thrilling, action-packed, sizzling, and highly emotional. I have also published two children's picture storybooks, Sleigh Magic and Stowaways: a Maine Pirate Tale. I am a West Virginia native but I have lived for many years on the coast of Maine.

Good series and the mysteries were excellent, but 2 out of the 3 Hero's were pricks. I can't spend hours reading page after page about a man being purposefully rude and hurtful to a women only to have him apologize in the LAST page, her accept, and they live happily ever after. Loved the mysteries and suspense of these stories, but the guys weren't likeable to me.
Well written, but a little wordy in some places. Still enjoyed it immensely. Would like to read another series like this. Thoroughly l8ked getting lost in these adventures.
