I’ve been reading romance novels since I was a teenager. I especially love regency romance , but I’d never pass up a hot Navy Seal, an overbearing Scotsman or shape shifting feline. 

I’d always found reading them to be a pleasant escape–transporting me to another place and time filled with beautiful people, always resulting in a happy ending, That is, until I read the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn. True, the Bridgertons were all attractive, but the characters in the books were flawed. Wonderfully, beautifully flawed. And I thought–I’d like to read more books like that.

In fact, I’d like to write a book like that. So I did. Not that it was easy. Quite the contrary. But starting was easy.

I came up with three story lines featuring wondrously flawed characters and started to write. It was a fun hobby and I finished the first one in a year. The resultant manuscript was mediocre at best. Sigh. Then I started the second one…and got bored.

But third time’s the charm, right?  I studied my craft. Had stops and starts, fitting it in between working, raising a family and occasional housework. Finally, five years later, Dare to Love was complete.

It took me two more years, pitching the manuscript, revising, editing, and pitching again to finally get a contract through Lyrical Press (now an imprint for Kensington Publishing). Dare to Love was finally published.

I was sure I’d gotten the writing bug out of my system and could return to my regular life. Until I was stopped for speeding in New York by a surprisingly nice, good-looking state trooper. Suddenly a cute meet story idea flowed out of my fingers and into my keyboard. A year later, Catching a Pixie was complete.

Artemis Publishing launched Pixie in the fall of 2020.   

I’m now making final edits on the second book in the Pixie series, Counting on Him. I can’t wait for you to read it!
