About Me

My photo
Southeast, Florida, United States
I've had a love affair with books since I was a little girl. Once I discovered that stories could take me to amazing worlds where heroes and heroines could tackle insurmountable odds and yet live happily ever after, I was hooked. My overactive imagination always questions "what if?" and I often daydream about scenarios for the next story. Living in South Florida is a dream I fulfilled. For many years now, the balmy breezes, palm trees and surf crashing upon the shoreline have satisfied my soul. They often show up as settings for my stories. I used to say that I'd try anything once, but that was before some suggested skydiving, mountain climbing and swimming with sharks. Nowadays, I prefer the comfort of my chair in front of my computer where the most dangerous thing I face is writer's block. I let my characters tackle the impossible challenges and all I have to do is make sure they have a happy ending. I welcome readers to explore the fantastic world of my imagination where anything is possible and most likely will happen. Look for my books and e-books at Ellora's Cave, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and many other fine e-tailers

August 2011




Hi, everyone!

I’ve got exciting news – “Decadent Delights” has been accepted and will soon be released as an e-book. If you love chocolate and sex, you’re bound to love this story of a woman who sells erotic confections and the identical twin brothers vying for her attention, for two very different reasons. Did I mention that the guys are models and drop-dead gorgeous? If you would like to read a teaser from the first chapter of the book, check my website under Decadent Delights. And because I LOVE to thank my readers for their patronage, I’m giving away some decadent delights of my own. Stop by the contest page and fill out a form to be entered to win either Godiva or Fannie May chocolates. The contest will run from the date of release (to be announced) up to one month afterward.

More fun stuff for my readers – from September 1st through October 31st, Night Owl Reviews is hosting their Full Moon Web Scavenger Hunt. Readers will visit websites and find the unique hidden graphic within one click of the home page. You must find at least 25 hidden graphics and complete an entry form to be entered in the drawing. Five winners will be chosen after the close of the contest. GREAT PRIZES! You’ll find their graphic on one of the pages on this website. Good luck and have fun hunting down all the graphics.

I’ve also submitted a story for the “Just One Bite Short Story” contest hosted by All Romance.com and OmniLit.com e-books. It’s called “Angel of My Dreams” and it’s about the possibility of a second chance even after death. If my story is selected as one of the 32 chosen “Semi-Finalists”, it will be included in their reader choice voting that starts October 1, 2011 on their websites. Readers will vote for their favorite short stories during 5 rounds of voting with the field being narrowed at the end of each round. I hope you’ll stop by and vote during all five rounds. Winners will have their books included in an anthology which will be given away free to readers.

I can now turn my attention to working on “Pleasure Bound” for the 1-800-DOM-help series from Ellora’s Cave. These books are great BDSM reads, so if you love those kind of stories, check them out.

Once again, thank you so much for your patronage. I really appreciate the kind words and encouragement from those who have taken the time to let me know how much they love my stories. Happy Reading!
