Talk of Persuasion is all the rage these days. 🙂 Whereas P&P calls to mind grand estates and balls and long walks in the prettyish wildernesses of private gardens, when I think of Persuasion, I think mostly of rugged seascapes and of Bath. A few years ago, I wrote a duet of second-chance loves stories …
“I am not at all in a humor for writing; I must write on until I am.” ~Jane Austen So here we are again, readers. Another day, another chapter. Once again, here is 2nd chapter of my work in progress, The Greatest Risk. I’ve thought about your comments and they’ve really helped me identify some …

Whether it was watching clips on the news, or as our own Joana Starnes, camping out to see the Windsors parade by, this American hopes all your royal dreams came true! With the onset of …
Next to the actual book debut, I think the cover reveal is the most exciting! I’m very involved in the design of my book covers, so for me, it’s another enjoyable aspect of the creative process. Even though this is my 12th book, it never gets old. Anyway, I hope you like what we came …
