I am an outdoors-woman who loves to bask in the sun and go on nature walks, the occasional jaunt up a mountain, and gardening with big rocks. I am relatively new to romance writing. Up until now I have focused on young adult novels and children's picture books. Occasionally I dabble into science fiction but Oasis of My Heart is my first published work.

What I discovered when I started writing Oasis of My Heart is that I loved the character development that this genre allows. Very quickly I became absorbed in my character's lives and I was hooked until I had three more novel plots brewing.

I am eagerly awaiting the release of my latest novel, Secrets of Summer, also available through http://www.cobblestone-press.com. I have also just signed a contract for a an erotic novella with Forbidden Press.

Presently I am working on another romance about an ex city boy turned country and an ex country girl turned city. A third title that I sneak off to write on every once in awhile is a romantic suspense set in Colorado. My other love is fine black ink drawings. I hope to be a published illustrator some day as well.
