Welcome

Welcome to my cyber home and the place fueled by my imagination.  I’ll let you in on a secret.  I love to be taken on a ride—in fiction, that is.  Give me a mystery or suspense, weave in romance, end it with a happily ever after, and you have a happy reader.  I read across the board, but romantic suspense is what I write.

In real life my family has been my greatest joy and accomplishment, and for the most part, we’ve completed our journey unscathed. But in fiction, a smooth ride is boring. So, what I bring to my writing is characterization and conflict. I take my real-life paved road, add a few bumps, a road construction crew, and I’m not above throwing in a boulder or even an avalanche.

I hope you’ll look around the site to learn more about my debut novel, and I’ll do my best to fill you in on future work.  Also check out my photos and the article sections.  I’ve written articles on doubt, the muse and hopefully, a humorous account of the lengths we’ll go to acquire an agent.  I’ve written articles on what I learned in The Citizens Academy and about our need to be professional.  I’ve also included a very special article written by Sgt. Bernie Moss who granted me permission to post his powerful article, You’re Not a Cop Till You Taste Them.

Finally, check out the Extra Section.  Here, I’ve posted an unused chapter better known as the CHAPTER THAT GOT AWAY in THE PAST CAME HUNTING.  – Want to know what happened after the prologue in THE PAST CAME HUNTING?   Here’s your chance.

What comes next?  In late 2012 or early 2013, expect my second release from BELL BRIDGE BOOKS.  It’s my 2010 Golden Heart final, and I’m thrilled that my publisher saw fit to publish it.
