Blog postDue to opportunities and circumstances, I started a day job working with an animal rescue almost one year ago. That meant having to change both my writing and reading habits. No longer having the time I once did, I found myself seeking out shorter reads for evenings and days off.
It gave me an idea. Surely, I'm not the only busy person out there who still loves to read satisfying romances with a happy ending. I shifted gears and Summer Men was born. A series of five steamy and sweet s -
Blog postSouthern Comfort, the third book in the Barrett Security series was recently released on Amazon. That accomplished, I thought my readers might appreciate an update on my works in progress and projects I hope to tackle during the rest of the year. It's a lot to tackle, with the day job taking up most of my time, but I'm going to give it my best shot!
The character worksheet and basic outline for Southern Knight, the fourth book in the Barrett Security series is complete. The story feat -
Blog postAbout three years ago, my husband and I adopted two kitten siblings from a local rescue. Since then we've been rewarded with countless purrs, cuddles, smiles, and laughs. They snuggle with us on cold winter days and nights. They occasionally keep me company when I write, putting a smile on my face as I bang away on the keyboard.
During this frightful pandemic with all its anxiety-inducing unpredictability, sadness, and grief, I'm more grateful than ever for their unconditional love an -

Blog postI was sitting at my writing desk, wrapping up a scene. I caught movement out of the corner of my eye and glanced up. A majestic and beautiful male buck traipsed through my back yard as pretty as you please.
I watched him for almost twenty minutes. He took his time, looking for morsels of edible grass. He confidently strutted in front of my wall of windows and made his way to the edge of the lagoon.
The sight was breathtaking. It also reminded me to slow down and take the time -
Blog postIt's National Bird Day! My husband and I are avid birders, and we've seen many species. It's hard for me to pick a favorite. I love the elegant Tundra Swan, the colorful Painted Bunting, and the comical-looking Horned Puffin.
Eagles, however, soar above all others, both Bald and Golden. They look so majestic, floating on the breeze as free as they please. Sometimes when I see an eagle soaring above, I close my eyes and try to imagine what it would feel like to fly above the clouds and -
Blog postThere is something about the start of a new year that makes me almost giddy with joy. Armed with the knowledge that there are 365 blank pages I get to fill with the unique story of my life is inspirational. So here I am, filled with hope, ready to begin the journey that is 2021. I hope this year is kind to everyone, much like the pleasant, warm, and fuzzy ride on a Ferris wheel versus the screaming, gut-churning, unsettling plunge of an the up and down rollercoaster ride that was 2020. So m

Blog postOctober is my favorite time of the year. The sweltering heat of a southern summer finally lessens. Those pesky mosquitoes, gnats, and other insects stop biting. While the days may be shorter, the sun’s rays bathe everything in a golden glow that makes me happy. Greens give way to the earthy yet vibrant shades of orange, brown, red, and yellow.

Blog postThis time of the year in the south there’s usually plenty of rain showers and storms. As I’m stuck inside, sitting in my office watching raindrops collect on the windows, I reflect on what it means. I remind myself of all the beautiful flowers that are sure to sprout and bloom, spreading color and good cheer wherever they grow. Water is vital to all living things and needed in order for the plants to survive and grow. So I sigh at another day o

Blog postSpring is a time of new beginnings. Trees are starting to get their leaves and flowers are blooming. I thought it would also be a great time to create a new book series full of interesting characters and a lot of romance.
My husband and I recently spent more time on Hilton Head Island. It’s my favorite place on the East Coast. I look forward to sharing the island’s charm, atmosphere, and romance in a new contemporary romance series, Island Medical!

Blog postMy husband and I have a lot to be thankful for this year. We spent a peaceful day together counting our blessings and eating a traditional meal of turkey, stuffing, gravy, green beans, cranberry sauce, and pecan pie. Luckily we were motivated enough to ride our bicycles on the greenway for fourteen miles to burn off some of those calories.
Now I have a refrigerator full of leftovers and I never even got to the pumpkin. I thought that this year I would try to be creative in the ki -
Blog postLower Falls of the Yellowstone
Albert Einstein once said “Look deep, deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” What great advice! There is nothing more soothing to me than riding my bike on the greenway while I take in the sights and sounds of nature around me. And there is nothing more exciting than birding and seeing a species for the first time or observing an uncommon behavior in a species I’ve seen hundreds of times.
