“Emotional stories at the heart of the West”

My   novels revolve around two of my very different passions.

First, the PBR (Pro Bull Riding.)  It is currently the fastest growing sport in America. I’m drawn to the graceful athleticism and drama – it’s like a dangerous ballet.  Besides, what woman can resist a cowboy?  Not me – I married a ‘bleed maroon’ Texas Aggie  twenty seven years ago.

I am represented by the amazing Nalini Akolekar of Spencerhill Associates.  My Sweet on a Cowboy series is published by Grand Central. The Sweet Spot in May, 2013, Nothing Sweeter in January, 2014, and Sweet on You, in May, 2014.

My ‘biker chick’ book found a home at Harlequin’s Superromance . Her Road Home, released August, 2013. I’ve signed a three book deal for stories set in the same small town of Widow’s Grove.

Quirks?  I can be a bit obsessive.  I ride 100 miles on my bicycle a week.  I sit down to write at three am – every day.

Other hobbies/obsessions:  Camping, fly fishing, sewing, knitting, along with my first love, reading.

All these, coupled with a pant-load of colorful life experiences blend to my voice: funny, irreverent, and not afraid to dig into tough subject matter.
