Noel

I’ve tracked down my wayward sister to Cataluma, California, and my goal is to drag her back to Canada before she gets in trouble with the American authorities. The problem? She’s gone and fallen in love with some dude and refuses to come home. I need to stick around to talk some sense into her, but there’s only one damned inn in this podunk town and they insist they’re full. I can’t get the handsome innkeeper to make an exception, not even for the few days I’ll need to get Kendra safely headed back across the border.

I love my job as the owner of the quaint Cataluma Inn. I also pride myself in being a peacemaker. When I find squawking siblings arguing about a good friend of mine at our traditional barbecue, I have to step in. Next thing I know, I’m offering to share my one-bedroom apartment with a very attractive Canadian. Oh, and he’s gay too…

What did you like best about writing this series?

I’ve done several shared world books before.  Writing is such a solitary pursuit that any time I can inject a bit of comradery, I leap at the chance.  I belong to a marketing group where we share tips, tricks, ideas, and are generally super supportive of each other.  I don’t even remember who made the suggestion, but about a year ago we started talking about doing a project together.  Twelve months later, we managed to publish all six books.

What other books (not in this series, have you written?)

Wow, I’ll keep it quick.  For the shared world Single Dads of Gaynor Beach series, I wrote Hugh as well as Anthony.  My third book in the series, Xavier, is coming out in September.  In my own series, Love in Mission City, I’ve written, Ginger Snapping All the Way, Stanley’s Christmas Redemption, Page Against the Machine, and several others including the free short story Marcus’s Cadence.
