About Me

When I was a kid, I heard the Beatles singing "Paperback Writer" and thought, "Yes, that's it, exactly!" I write romantic thrillers about very real people having very bad days.My upcoming release is BENEATH BONE LAKE, June 2009, Love Spell Romantic Suspense. From the back cover copy:Ruby Monroe knows she’s way out of her depth the minute she lays eyes on Sam McCoy. She’s been warned to steer clear of this neighbor, the sexy bad boy with a criminal past. But with her four-year-old daughter missing, her home incinerated and her own life threatened by a tattooed gunman, where else can she turn? Drowning in the flood of emotion unleashed by their mind-blowing encounters, Ruby is horrified to learn an unidentified body has been dredged up, the local sheriff is somehow involved, and Sam hasn’t told her all he knows. Has she put her trust in the wrong man and jeopardized her very survival by uncovering the secrets…BENEATH BONE LAKE FREE Myspace Layouts
