I'm excited that I have received several 5-star reviews from a variety of reviewers, and Dream or Destiny has been praised and recommended by readers. This book started out to be simply a romantic suspense. I didn't have an inkling that domestic violence would be a part of the story. However, the characters, especially David, told me their stories, and domestic violence became extremely important to the plot as well as the characters.I'm especially pleased that The Bluestocking Guide, who show more has been a domestic violence victims' advocate, highly praised my portrayal of the characters who experienced domestic violence. She also listed Dream or Destiny as one of the best Christian books she read in 2008. show less

Stroke of Luck is a contemporary romance featuring a handicapped character. When I went through my own stroke several years ago, I was blessed to have Jack, my loving, nurturing husband, to care for me. I wondered what would happen to someone who wasn’t fortunate enough to have a husband like mine. Those thoughts led me to write the story of Debbie and Jake.

The people involved in this tragedy showed remarkable love, faith, and courage. Writing their story was inspiring to me.Carola has made a remarkable recovery and the remaining books have been donated to a literacy organization.

I wrote this story early in my writing career in response to a call for submissions from a romance publisher for contemporary romance novels that began with a letter or other form of correspondence. I had just sold my interior landscape company and enjoying sharing some humorous incidents that we had encountered in 20 years in the business.I submitted part of the manuscript as homework in an online writing class, and the instructor predicted this book would be picked up by a publisher right show more away. However, when it was rejected by the publisher I targeted it for, I never tried again. Fern’s Fancies is genre romance, a la Harlequin or Silhouette Romance (the “sweet romance” lines). It’s a light, fun, and sometimes humorous read. show less
