I love writing holiday stories-romance, lights, great food, fun with friends and family.
Holiday Disaster: Days before Christmas, a librarian experiences plumbing issues and visits from Mr. Maintenance Man who isn't nearly as jolly as Santa Claus.
The Littlest Angel: Two people. One ornament for the tree. Can a twosome find common ground and discover the true meaning of Christmas?
Holiday Handbag Extravaganza: Christmas Countdown is on! A hunk-a-licious customer pesters a boutique owner to locate a vintage handbag for his mother. Too bad the wedge between them is his sister, the meanest girl in town.

QUICK
Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?
Kinda. Sorta. I write romantic comedy mysteries and romantic comedy short stories.
How do you come up with ideas?
Ideas abound! I wrote my first mystery based on a word game that used "window." My son said something which made my head go bing!! I've looked at a picture and created a story.
What is the single most important part of writing for you?
Writing the story. Some take longer than others; however, I always finish the work.
When did you write your first book?
I wrote my romantic comedy mystery, Temporarily Employed, first. Then I critiqued short stories for a friend, got the rhythm, and wrote shorts of my own.
FUN
Leather or lace? Neither. I'm a cotton t-shirt kinda gal.
Black or red? LOL. I wear both.
Satin sheets or smooth cotton? Cotton flannel. Oh so soft.
Ocean or mountains? Nothing is better than a long walk along the shore. Yet, I often retreat to the mountains.
City life or country life? City.
Party life or evening at home? Evening at home.
Dogs or cats? I've had both. I miss kitties. Right now, I have two adora-poos.
