Most of my covers have been designed by me, and frankly, I’m not a great designer. Dark Persuasion and The Phantom of Valletta were done by a designer, as were earlier versions of The Legacy Series. Recently, I made a business decision to redo all of the covers for these series, and I believe it Read More

The Venturous Hearts Series
After finishing The Seaside Affair, I realized that the multiple characters and their open-ended stories would not serve well. After creating them, their existence demands resolution too. Meet the characters who take venturous risks to find love. The books border on the historical romance genre but include many other elements such as historical fiction and Read More

Pre-Order Now on Amazon I have been working very hard on getting the book ready to send to Victory Editing in mid-June. There have been a few changes here and there, and I’ve attempted to tighten the story in some areas, fix a few plot holes, and expand other chapters. This reminds me of why Read More
The Seaside Affair – First Draft Done
Writing a book is a long, arduous process. This particular story has not been an easy one for me. I started with a premise back in the fall and stumbled along the way to the end. Multiple times I had to put the book aside and ponder where to take the story. Usually, it comes Read More
My Thoughts Are With You
I wanted to take this moment to reach out to my readers during this difficult time that affects everyone worldwide. For the past ten days, I’ve been home, only peeking my head outdoors to take out the garbage. My groceries are delivered to my door, but unfortunately, not everything I order is in stock. Currently, Read More

The Seaside Affair is no different. Please visit it at The Seaside Affair on WordPress. I had thought about taking a break from Read More
Lady Jane and Lady Charlotte – Updates
Lady Jane was released on September 16, and since that date has been well received.

I’m extremely pleased with the strong reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, as well Read More

Leighton Series on Hold
Hi, everyone! The Leighton Family Saga has been put on hold for a while. I’ve had a difficult time marketing the first book and a pittance of sales, but let’s face it — most readers don’t like to read about poverty or bricklayers. Any historical fiction/romance with a duke is much more appealing. Nevertheless, I Read More
Lady Jane (Regency Era – Ladies of Disgrace) In Progress
Lady Jane is my fourth “Lady of Disgrace” set in the Regency era. This is my first attempt to write Regency, so I’ve had to pull out my book, “Jane Austen for Dummies” written by Joan Klingel Ray, the President of the Jane Austen Society of North America, for research purposes. Each time I write Read More
