 Welcome
to my new cyber hangout! I'm fairly hopeless with new fangled stuff, gadgets and
the like—if my husband's not home, I have to call one of my grown kids to
talk me through programming the VCR! And I'm certain the smart remote on the TV's
possessed ... but that's another story.
So, when it came to understanding the world of the Internet, I was scared right
down to my toes. Friends and family have had to drag me, kicking and screaming,
into this new world of technology. Now that I'm here, though, I'm finding that
it's kind of fun!
What a great way to get to know so many wonderful people. Some of my most touching
and memorable moments have been hearing from readers.
In case you're wondering about me, I'm originally from Louisiana. I've lived
in Florida, Kentucky, the California bay area, and finally settled in Southern
California where I met and married a really romantic guy a little over twenty
years ago. We blended our families, his three kids and my two, and have been living
happily (if a little insanely) ever after.
Raising five kids and working in my husband's construction firm kept me busy,
but for as long as I can remember I'd felt a yearning that I just couldn't put
my finger on. Until I read a romance.
Some people have always known they were destined to be a writer. Not so with
me. I was in my thirties when I got my hands on that first romance novel. I was
hooked—I burned dinners (or forgot to start them!) and snarled at anyone
who dared interrupt while I was reading one of these gripping stories! That's
when I realized I wanted to be a writer. A romance writer. I love the power
and the emotions and the positive statements that romance novels make.
Then one day, my husband cut an article out of the paper about a romance writer's
conference and said, "you should go to this. You could do this." I figured if
he had that much faith in me, I surely ought to give it a shot. And by that time,
the dream of being a writer had really taken hold. So I set about writing the
stories I loved to read, stories that touch the heart, tug at the reader's emotions,
and always, without fail, have a happy ending.
Of course in the beginning I didn't know what the heck I was doing. It took
me ten years in between raising kids, working and gathering rejections before
I sold my first novel to Harlequin American Romance in 1995.
And since that first exciting day that I got the call, I've been having a ball.
What a great job. I firmly believe in women being in love with their work—that
we should all do what we love, and love what we do.
For me, that's writing romances. It is my fondest hope that the books I write
will touch your heart and bring you the kind of joy other authors have brought
to me over the years.
When not writing or meddling in the kids and grandkids lives, my ideal
getaway is a good book, hot sunshine, and a chair at the river's edge
at our second home along the Parker Strip in Arizona.
I hope you enjoy my web site. Stay a while, sign my guest
book, send me an e-mail. I
love to hear from readers and always write back. If you don't hear from
me right away, that just means I'm at the river—but I do eventually
come home.
