How would she ever get bloodstains out of her wedding dress...? Well, Livia Kingston would have all of February to think about it while she got a second to take her marriage vows - instead of a bullet for a convicted murderer! Surely it wouldn't be too hard to change places with a man who deserved his fate? Mark Everett had created a new identity, given up everything to pursue a twisted madman and reclaim his son. When his and Livia's lives intersected at the altar, they found they could only turn to each other when the killer targeted them both. But Livia couldn't let he protector be shot through the heart... not when hers had already been pierced by cupid's arrow.
I've been married to my high school sweetheart since those good old rock and roll days when Elvis was The King and The Beatles were galloping over the horizon.
We live on the beautiful Olympic Peninsula; the Olympic mountains range is the eye candy out my office window. My adopted cat, Spooky, is always curled up near me as I create my stories these days.
My career as a writer started in junior high school in the form of poetic rhymes and continued to my senior year, when I contemplated writing a book, dreaming up characters disturbingly reminiscent of my classmates. But other than a few notes, the book never left the planning stage. I had a discouraging experience in a creative writing course I was taking at the time and being a sensitive teenage girl. . . I didn't attempt writing stories again for twenty years.
I restarted my writing career by taking a community college writing 101 course. The teacher was wonderfully encouraging and luckily for me, I met my first critique group in that class. At the time, I was writing Mysteries and the others in my new critique group were all writing Romance. Since I've always been a romantic at heart, I ended up adding romance to my mysteries. Lots of romance.
I call my stories Sexy Whodunits.
Or as one of the characters in my new mystery series would say, "Sex and Murder!"
