New adventure story for 2024!

 I'm working on a new book for next year, and it's not connected to any series I've written before. It's a historical fantasy romance... yes, I know, but it's my favorite thing to write. I'm only a third of the way complete, but I'm aiming for a late spring completion. I wanted to bring my love of Arabian horses to the written page.

Add in a long-dead, very angry pharaoh and I might have some big adventure in store for my two main characters: Olive and Ben.

The story is set in the 1890's - the height of vacation tourism in Egypt before the world wars. My research had me learning about how boats were sank to get rid of the rats before it could sail down the Nile, about raptors and their meaning in ancient Egypt, and other fun stuff.

Stay tuned in the coming weeks for sneak peeks!

Enjoy your holidays and write on!

A Girl's Guide to the Bermuda Triangle - NEW RELEASE!

 Book # 3 in my Girl's Guide to the Bermuda Triangle is now available for purchase in paperback and eBook format on Amazon.com and other sites.

If you like fun, fast, strange and unusual, mixed with romance then you might like my books!

 A Girl's Guide to the Bermuda Triangle

 

Will Quinn be able to survive this strange land?

Quinn’s cruise ship traveled through the fated Bermuda Triangle. The legends come true and

half her ship makes it through a portal to another world. She discovers that the people that

 seem determined to wine and dine them might have other plans for the new arrivals.

 

Can Bastien gain her trust to aid him in his quest for a new way of life?

Bastien is an offspring of an elder, one of the first arrivals who gain power through sacrifices.

But his beliefs are different than his predecessors. When he meets Quinn, he realizes she was bestowed

a phenomenal power upon entrance to his land.

 

Bastien shows Quinn that not everyone is out to kill her. Together, they will join forces to take down

a brutal enemy.

 

My Very First Podcast Appearance is LIVE!

 I was invited to be on Laura Womack's podcast, Bloom Where You're Planted - The Never Too Late Podcast a few weeks ago. This is my first time talking on a podcast and I was very nervous. I've never been a fan of public speaking. And, yes, it's different selling my book to people I don't know. I've always dreaded the part of talking in front of large crowds. Over time, my fear has lessened a little due to previous jobs, including taking Dale Carnegie classes.

After the recording session was complete, Laura explained the editor would then work on making the podcast recording sound professional and add opening music. She also said it would be a few weeks before it would be released into the world. 

But do I have a good voice? I know it sounds different inside my head. I dreaded hearing what I really sound like to the real world.

Last night, I received a message that the podcast had been released. I wasn't brave enough to listen to it right then, so I made a promise with myself to listen in the morning. I even set a calendar alarm to double ensure I really did it.

Fast forward to the next day, my alarm reminded me and it went in search for my podcast. I was so very pleasantly surprised I didn't sound like a complete dork. I even sounded like I knew what I was talking about.

If you have forty-five spare minutes, definitely pop into the website and catch my podcast! I talk about writing books under two different names in multiple genres, where I grew up as a young girl and where my life led after that.

Happy listening and read on!
