About Me


Lyrics

Sparks fly when a beautiful young woman teams up with a charming British agent in his quest to recover a fortune in stolen Nazi jewels.


A Mermaid in Paradise"A spectacular story, Josie A. Okuly has a winner with A Mermaid in Paradise."

Angelina Guerra decides to end the cold war with her estranged sister by attempting a reconciliation in the Bahamas, the site of her disastrous excuse for a honeymoon two years before. However, things don't go according to plan as Angelina finds herself mixed up with a handsome British agent as he attempts to recover a fortune in stolen Nazi jewels. So much for her vacation!


On the plus side, agent Devlin Shay is charming and well-mannered. However, he loses points because: a) he's gorgeous and b) he's British. In other words, he's cut from the same mold as Angelina's worthless ex-husband. Will she hold this against him? Of course, she will!

Coming soon from The Wild Rose Press
Syriana McCourt, the new governess for a powerful family, soon discovers that someone is willing to commit murder in order to protect the secrets of Tremayne Castle.
Can Syriana put her trust in any of the Tremayne brothers or is one of them responsible for the death of the previous governess? Is the Tremayne Sea Monster simply a Cornish legend or does the creature ply the waters along the coast searching for victims to devour? Who is the handsome, mysterious man who has washed up on the beach? Syriana finds herself drawn to the attractive castaway, not knowing whether he's really a pirate in sheep's clothing.


"A read, and a multiple re-read! Some books just make me happy I've chosen to be a reviewer; Pacific Breeze Hotel is most definitely one of those pleasant reminders!"
Euro-Reviews
"It was a joy to read such fresh, pure suspense and mystery along with a good old fashioned boy-meets-girl love story."

"Okuly manages to hit all the notes of a classic Mary Stewart-type tale." Romance Reader at Heart "Though the characters are your romantic standards...governess, Lord of the Manor...there is enough left unsaid that I wouldn't mind reading more about these people. This is a surprise (shock). Me? Reading more romance? Ms. Okuly you've just accomplished a major victory."
Futures Mystery Anthology Magazine

"I like the book my mommy wrote."
