Welcome!

My Western romance, Marrying Minda, first-place winner in the 2008 Merritt "Magic Moment " Contest at the San Antonio Romance Authors,  will be released June 5, 2009 by The Wild Rose Press for its Cactus Rose western line! Isn't the book cover beautiful? You can read the opening chapter of Minda on my Biography page.  I'm so excited. Please check back for a celebratory contest with a book for a prize.

I'm also thrilled that my short story, His Christmas Angel, will be a featured online holiday  read at Cactus Rose.   It features Minda's sister. (release date TBA but it'll be soon!)

Midnight Bride is still doing well.  Here are a few of the
reviews that have made me so happy.   Joyfully Reviewed compares MB to the writings of Diana Palmer.   Four Spurs from Love Western Romances claims "a book to curl up with,"  and Romance Junkies, who awarded a   4.5 Blue Ribbon Review  assures it's "...a book you won't be able to put down."

A Four-Cup  Outstanding Great Read  at Coffee Time Romance claims "a great plot with a well-developed cast that keeps the pages turning..."  and The Romance Studio awarded    Four Hearts

Broke and alone, Carrie Smith vows to hold on to the Lazy J-Z, her ramshackle West Texas ranch.  Once she locates her late granddaddy's will, she'll find a way out of the predicament his gambling debts have thrust on her.

But instead of a will, cowboy Jed Jones comes to Sweetcream, bearing legal documents forcing their marriage by midnight tonight. Carrie must either take as her husband the handsome stranger with a full pocketbook...or lose her ranch.

Despite wedding a beautiful bride, all Jed wants is the land rightfully due him. 

And the chance to find out if Carrie's father killed his own.
