Yet, the minute she meets Roland Mallory, she knows she’ll be anything she has to be, even if it means being herself. Roland Mallory hates being the nice guy. Nice guys finish last—always. When Natalie Diamond falls at his feet and looks up at him with those whiskey brown eyes, he knows she’s trouble. He isn’t looking for trouble. He’s looking for a partner.

They say opposites attract. But when it comes to love, can someone so wrong be so right?

How many second chances are there?

Have you ever wondered how a person assimilates to society after years in prison? I did and that's how The Second Chance Series began. It's a mix between Orange is the Black and The Son's of Katie Elder. Who knew you could crossbreed a John Wayne movie with a modern day serial, but it works. The Second Chance series is about five female ex-convicts and the men who earn their love.

Be yourself

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. Ralph Waldo Emerson Be yourself. It's the only person you know well enough to be.

What's your story?

Have you ever looked at someone and wondered what their story was? It's one of my favorite games as a writer. I love to look at people and guess things about them. Are they a pilot, maybe a rockstar? What interests me the most is that none of us are one thing. Take me for example. I'm a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a writer, a dental assistant, a home decorator, a crazy person at times, a bore at others. I like martinis and I like beer. I eat cake and quinoa. I hate exercise but do it anyway. I'm an amalgamation of many things all of which make me...me. No character or person should be one dimensional. Enjoy True North it's full of character!

Are you hungry

I love the show Chopped. It kind of reminds me of writing. You get a few ingredients. You mix a heroine, a hero, a bitter dilemma, a pinch of sweetness, maybe a sour character, add a black moment and a happily ever after. Take all the ingredients, mix them together and hope in the end that you have created a delicious read. Enjoy this appetizer.

When all hope is lost.

Have you ever felt complete and utter despair? How long did you have to wait for someone to come to your rescue? Maybe you rescued yourself. True North is a story about learning to trust yourself and the people who surround you. It's about letting go of the past and running toward the future. Let your heart be your compass. Kel

She’s the one, and he’ll do anything to keep her. Hell bent on unraveling the mysteries of Emma’s life, he sets out to solve the secrets that are buried with her mother.

Fate is fickle, and not always forgiving. When it comes to brownie points, can you ever collect enough to erase the past?

Mine!

I wrote this scene so that the reader would understand the connection these two people have. It shows Anthony's desire to completely possess Emma and Emma's surrender. I love it when two individuals are so close that they're almost fused into one. It's beautiful when two independent people can come together and share themselves completely but remain true to themselves and their individual desires. Brownie Points is book 2 in the Decadent Series. It can be read as a stand alone but follows Just Dessert if you want to meet the entire cast. Whipped is next in the series.

Desperate for help, he hired Chloe Craig to bring the once-loved Christmas joy to his home. But when his personal life fell apart, he needed more than a decorator. He needed a miracle, and for a short time, Chloe was her name. Sometimes desire is simply too irresistible to give into, and attraction too hard to ignore.

The Dean's List

Higher Education?

I wrote the Dean's List after reading a Huffington Post article citing an alarming percentage of college co-eds were entering the sex trade to pay for their education. Having a daughter in college I asked if that were true and she said yes it happens. This story is how my imagination processed that information.

How far would you go?

The Dean's List was inspired by an article I read in the Huffington Post about college co-eds and escorting. Although hard numbers are difficult to ascertain, polls have indicated that somewhere between nine and twenty-five percent of college students, both men and women, turn to some form of sex trade to finance their education. This book is about one such girl and her journey to find out just how far she'll go.

Pure hearted Katarina Cross has a simple life plan; finish school and find a job. Everything is on track until Damon Noble walks onto the scene. He’s the sweetest confection she has ever laid eyes on. Standing in for a friend who runs an escort service, Kat agrees to accompany one man for one night. How hard could it be? All I have to do is smile and look pretty. After his last girlfriend left a bad taste in his mouth for commitment, Damon nixes the idea of a relationship. He simply orders and pays for what he needs. Why ask for the full menu when you can just order dessert? A chance meeting, a book club and a penchant for dessert will change everything. "Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first." -Ernestine Ulmer-

The Wait.

Don't you hate waiting. It seems like we spend half of our lives waiting. Kat has something very important to address with Damon. It's a matter of life and death. Not literally, but the life and death of her self-esteem. She knows that no matter how long it takes she has to wait. Will the wait be a waste of time or the best investment in her life?

What a surprise!

Has anyone ever shocked you? Have they done something so out of character that you had to question your own sanity? I love the line in this passage where Emma says she is intrigued. Nothing shocks her, but she knows both of these people and something doesn't add up. What do you think Kat needs to reconsider?

What if...

I was thinking about how uncomfortable it would be to spend the evening with a man who is used to paying for whatever he wants––a man who rents women on a regular basis. My female characters always have a good sense of humor. Sometimes when you're nervous like Kat is in this scene, you turn to humor to fill the space.
