I am a romance writer. I'm more comfortable in another time, another place, another century. Oh well here I am.I have published short stories in anthologies by Highland Press. I am working on two novels, Rocky's SEAL and The Ranger's Desire.

I should mention here that Love Under the Mistletoe from Highland Press has been released. My story CALLING HAILEY'S BLUFF is included. Can a lunar rover named Bugs in Operation Marvin bring pregnant computer programmer Hailey James together with the unsuspecting father, Lt. Col. Todd Coopersmith before Christmas? That's a bet I would take.
I am very pleased to announce that I sold not one, but two stories to Highland Press. The first one is Hitting Paydirt to be included in the anthology, Love on A Harley.
MaryVictoria Abbott decides the oil well she is drilling is more important than her brother's wedding rehearsal. That is until the best man, Maj. Craig Ferguson, USMC arrives on his Harley and insists the maid of honor will attend the rehearsal and spirits her away.
Years of attraction between MaryVic and Craig erupt like a gusher but can they overcome the forces that separate them or will they find love on a Harley?

The second story is a novella, The Chances Are Bride to be included in Brides of the West with Michele Ann Young, and Kimberley Ivey.
Annabelle Yeager arrives in Shiloh Springs, Texas to find her fiancé dead and she is now the owner of the Chances Are Saloon and Social Club.
Sheriff Josh Morrow fulfills his duty and protects Annabelle Yeager when she arrives in town. When someone tries to kill Annabelle, he vows to keep her safe but at what cost to himself? Will Josh and Annabelle find their way to true love or more heartache?

My next short story will be "Keeping Hannah Safe" in the Recipe for Love Anthology from Highland Press. It is the story of Firefighter Brian Lancaster and Nurse Hannah Gibson.
All Brian wants to do is sleep but when returns home from his shift as a firefighter to find the condo next to his on fire, he puts out one fire only to start another with his new neighbor Hannah Gibson.
The only way to Brian may ever get to sleep is to stop Hannah from cooking and that may require him to make the ultimate sacrifice and marry her. From where he stands that is not such a bad idea but first each has a problem past to overcome.
This is my vision of Brian:
