I'm a novelist, "new" but not-so-new (see alleged age, left), and excited about writing and publishing.
The romances I write tend to be "sweet" - meaning, for the most part, rated "G." My heroines tend to be a bit sassy - like me?!?
LADIES OF LEGEND: FINDING HOME anthology is available in both electronic and print
from Resplendence Publishing . Check it out!
There's lots of information about the LEGEND series at Ladies of Legend MySpace . Yes, that's right, it's a series! Janet has two novellas coming out this summer, and Maddie's book-length stand-alone will be out in the fall. Also, watch for A LEGENDARY CHRISTMAS, our next anthology, to be available in e-book AND print in time for holiday gift-giving 2008!
The four authors of the Legend series blog at SisterWriters Blog . Sometimes we're serious, sometimes we're not, but we try to keep it interesting.
My first solo full-length novel, THE BLANK BOOK, is also at Resplendence. It's now available in ebook format at Resplendence , Fictionwise, and other ebook retailers. The Blank Book – trade size paperback
is available at Resplendence or Amazon.
Here's the blurb for The Blank Book:
Forty-year-old Alice Williams has always lived in tiny Quidnunc, Indiana. After the sudden death of her husband, she finally decides to take control of her life. She quits her dead-end job, and strikes out in a new career. Everything seems to be going fine…until she discovers she is writing the story of her life.
Alice is having the same dream every night, reliving a kiss she wrote into a silly romance novella. And in the dream she’s kissing her favorite action hero movie star, Robert Diamond. Too bad he’ll never show up on her front doorstep!
Thousands of miles away, Robert is having the same dream as Alice, and wants it to stop. He can’t learn his lines for a new film—he’s too distracted by the amazing kiss they share in their sleep. After he tracks her down, they set about trying to discover why the story Alice wrote in a blank notebook has hijacked both their dreams. And how to make it stop, so they can go back to their regularly schedule lives.
The Blank Book. What would you do if you could write your future?

Have a LEGENDARY CHRISTMAS! That's the title of the print anthology available at Resplendence Publishing and Amazon.
The four novellas are also sold separately as ebooks, at Resplendence Publishing, Fictionwise, and at other ebook retailers.
My characters are Rebecca and David, and their story is called CHRISTMAS COLLISION. The novella can be purchased separately in e-book format at Resplendence Publishing, Fictionwise, etc.
CHRISTMAS COLLISION (Blurb)
Rebecca Mayfield, the divorce lawyer in New York City, doesn't believe in "happily ever after." Why would she? Her beloved husband and law partner died of a heart attack a couple of years ago, and she spends every day of her lucrative work life ending someone’s marriage.
Her friend and former client, Midnight Shelby McClain, invites Rebecca to her new "hometown" of Legend, Tennessee for the holiday. Small town Christmas—probably incredibly hokey. But Legend worked some magic in Midnight’s life. What might be there for Rebecca?
Her rental car slides off the icy road and is stuck in a ditch. She hikes through the dark in the deep snow toward the only light she can see…from a little cabin on the mountain.
David keeps a vigil each Christmas Eve in a little weekend cabin on the mountain outside Legend. He needs this time alone—away from his high stress life in Knoxville. He does not appreciate the interruption of having to take care of yet another lost soul—no matter how cute and spicy the package it’s wrapped in.
The power goes off, but the sparks continue to fly between these two strangers… There’s something magical about this cabin. Maybe this is the Christmas to find love—and a new beginning—in Legend, Tennessee.

A LEGENDARY CHRISTMAS (blurb)
Christmas canceled?
It’s Christmas in Legend, Tennessee. The lights are hung, the town hall is decorated, and families are coming home for the holidays. But when a major winter storms sweeps through the foothills of the Smokies, everything in Legend comes to a screeching halt. A husband lost, a sister seeking forgiveness, a fallen star, and an accidental encounter all play victim to the storm.
Will Christina receive the gift she’s longed for?
Will Rebecca's first trip to Legend be a delightful Christmas surprise for a friend, or her newest relationship disaster?
Will Chelly make it home in enough time to apologize to her sister before the holidays?
Will movie star Dawn Smith decide Legend is where her heart is and where she belongs?
The seeking heart doesn't give up easily when it's searching for home—even in a snowstorm. And there's no place like Legend, particularly at Christmastime.
Canceling Christmas, under any circumstances, is just not an option. Welcome to Legend.
