So, if you’ve been following me on Facebook this past week, you’ve probably seen the announcement that I am a finalist in two categories for two different books in the New Jersey Romance Writers Golden leaf Awards for 2024! Yup ..read more

from 2019… THE WORK NEVER ENDS…AND I’M HAPPY IT DOESN’T I am currently editing the final galley copy of the above book for Wild Rose Press. It’s the first in a three book series called A PRIDE OF BROTHERS. For those of you who read my WILL COOK FOR LOVE SERIES, this is the story of Abigail Laine and Rick Bannerman. These two are both alphas and boy do they annoy each other. And by annoy I mean – YOWZA! As soon as I have a release date and a cover, you’ll see it. Promise! Until then, only 6 more sleeps until IT’S A TRUST THING releases exclusively in Kindle and KU. Have you reordered your co ..read more

So excited that A PRIDE OF BROTHERS: DYLAN is featured today on NNLight’s Holiday Gift Guide – Thriller/Suspense category. Just click on the link and scroll down to find my book ( it’s the third one!) If you haven’t read this face-paced, bodyguard trope, romantic suspense yet, now’s the right time to do so!! Cyber-security specialist Dylan Keane is working undercover to suss out a corporate thief. When he zeroes in on Harper Vale, he thinks he’s found his mole. Harper has a reputation as a coding savant and an introvert. Dylan’s interest is flattering, but after she’s implicated in the theft ..read more

Excited and humbled are two warring emotions in me right now! A PRIDE OF BROTHERS: DYLAN was just voted Book of the Month over on Long and Short Reviews. This is such an honor, believe me. Authors know this. Reading the review had me having a Sally Field moment: she ( the reviewer) liked it! She really liked it! But being named BOM is an honor that is unsurpassed! Thank you so much to everyone who voted – and I know I bothered the crap out of you to do so ..read more

Sometimes, characters just waltz into your head and dig in deep, demanding you to tell their story. Dylan Keane was such a character. In the second POB boo, Aiden, Dylan entered and stole scene after scene with his wit, charm, and let’s be honest here – hotness! This little tease is from Harper Vale’s perspective and gives you an indication of just how hot he really is…. Dylan sat on a bench with his back to her, bent forward, and holding a hand weight that he studiously lifted, then dropped. On the floor in front of him, a few other weights were scattered. Her vision zeroed in on his back wh ..read more

With 2 new releases this month ( Influence and A Pride of Brothers; Dylan) I had a choice today, lol. Since Dylan just released on Monday, I’m choosing him. “She’s a sweetie,” his soon-to-be-sister-in-law whispered in his ear. “But fragile. Take care with her.” Dylan nodded again. As soon as the door closed behind them, he turned back around to Harper. Her color was still off, and she looked like she hadn’t slept for a week. A defeated stance embraced her body in the stooped shoulders and chest-hugging head. He wanted to gather her up in his arms and love away all the horror she’d endured fo ..read more

I’m so excited to announce my Wild Rose Press book, A PRIDE OF BROTHERS: AIDEN is a finalist in the New England Reader’s Choice awards in the ROMANTIC SUSPENSE category!! This little story has already garnered a few other awards, so this is a cherry-on-top finalist event for me!!! Winners will be announced in April, so I’ll let you know how AIDEN does. Lexi Buckley wants answers about her younger sister’s death. The police have labeled it a suicide, but Lexi doesn’t believe it. Stymied in her investigation, she doesn’t know where to turn next. After a chance encounter with a private investig ..read more

As a reader, I know that some books leave you with a book hangover or the notion you wish you could go re-read it again for the very first time. This book did both those to me – and I wrote it!! I think Harper and Dylan are my favorite love match so far. And I know you’re not supposed to pick favorites among your kids, but… This little gem releases on Monday, 9.18, and I just put so much of my heart and soul into writing it. I was penning it at the time I was going through a huge upheaval in my life this past year and just being able to escape into the lives of Harper and Dylan helped me barr ..read more

Today’s little tease is from ( you guessed it) Monday’s release of A PRIDE OF BROTHERS: DYLAN. Harper Vale is my kind of woman and heroine: smart, snarky, doesn’t suffer fools, introverted, and has a dream. Here’s a little insight into what happens after she’s fired… In the elevator, the guard demanded her badge and security code card, which she handed over without a word into his meaty outstretched hand. Harper was too furious to feel embarrassed when the questioning stares and raised eyebrow glances of co-workers shot at her as she was escorted through the lobby and out the front doors.
