Thanks for stopping by!
I write Regency romance and, in my spare time wrangle a golden-eyed terrier and a five six pound chihuahua. (She gained a pound!) They guarantee I step away from my desk for dinner and walks.
NEWS…
On the personal front, I’m in my new home and still wading through boxes to find things I know I have, like double A batteries and a stapler.
Meanwhile a tragedy of sorts has struck. The beloved golden-eyed terrier I’ve mentioned in my bio for years has joined my husband in the life hereafter. This sweet girl suffered a stroke in the middle of the night and there was nothing the vet could do to fix things. She was thirteen years and ten months old, and I’m grateful for the twelve years or so she lived as a member of our family. Here she is at Easter this year:

The first draft of my story for the upcoming October Bluestocking Belles collection is finished. The title is The Duke, the Diamond, and the Ghastly Ghoul. More news soon!
A New Series Begins
Forevers in Fenwick
Do you remember this collection of stories from the Bluestocking Belles a few years ago?
The setting was the fictional town of Fenwick on Sea in Suffolk. The heart of the town was an old Tudor-era inn; when the town was isolated by a fierce spring storm, romance happened!
The Bluestocking Belles are bringing romance in Fenwick on Sea back to life with a multi-author novella series called Forevers in Fenwick.
Ah, Fenwick On Sea! A humble village, somewhat forgotten by time. But not for long if the innkeeper has his way! Rumor of a fae blessing upon his inn is exactly what he needs to draw crowds back to the neglected village. Of course, it’s only talk. Or is it?

My Most Recent Release
Merry Belles, a Bluestocking Belles Collection with Friends
Just in time for the holidays, seven charming stories of romance from award-winning and best-selling authors:
- A murder brings a lady and her lost love together, just close enough to heal old wounds.
- A young lady must foil a friend’s betrayal to have her Yuletide wish for love come true.
- A widowed lord’s new housekeeper tames his rowdy boys and pierces his lonely heart.
- A lady determined to find her wayward young son finds herself stranded with the persistent earl trying to woo her out of widowhood.
- Will restoring a family manor together help two people acknowledge a secret attraction and claim a future together?
- A soldier’s wife is determined to find her missing husband, even if she must walk the length and breadth of England with her children in a wheelbarrow.
- Home from the wars, a soldier is shocked to learn that his fiancée plans to wed someone else. Can he reach her in time to prevent the nuptials?
My contribution to the collection is Lady Loughton’s Last Wager. If you’ve read A Wallflower’s Midsummer Night’s Caper, you’ll remember Lady Loughton as the elegant but somewhat harried mother of that story’s heroine. As you can imagine, this is an “older” romance: the widowed Lady Loughton gets a second chance at love with the determined earl who’s been pursing her.
