For me, being a romance author is more than a career.  It's a passion.  I don't write because I like to.  I write because I have to.  Writing is as crucial to my survival as eating and breathing.  I have to write something every day or I come away unfulfilled.  My characters are a part of my family and their stories a part of my life.  Feel free to browse my site and make these stories of passion, pride and perseverance an integral part of your life, too.

I am proud to be a sponsor of our local community theatre's production of Meredith Willson's "The Music Man."  The show runs May 22-25, right here in Superior! Just click on the logo for more information on this great show!

		Release Date:  May 1, 2008 Caryn Deaver survived a nightmare... and now he's back. Caryn's ex-husband bound her and their children hand and foot, locked them in the bathroom, and set the house on fire.  They managed to escape with their lives, and Dan Hamilton was sentenced to eighteen years in prison for the crime.  He's out now, though, and the rules in his sadistic game allow Caryn only eleven moves before she dies. Zach Riker, Cheyenne's Fire Chief, was the first paramedic on the scene eighteen years ago.  He saved Caryn's life.  Now she is his life, and he'll stop at nothing to protect the woman he loves.
