Welcome to my website!

I write fun, feel-good fiction. If reading my novels makes you smile, then I'm happy!

Thank you to all the readers who bought my indie-published e-book, The Castaway Bride, and made it a best-seller on Amazon. It was also a finalist in the ARRA Awards 2011 for Favorite Contemporary Romance. I am beyond thrilled that it has been such a success! It's a sexy, unashamedly escapist romance about one of my favorite romance hooks, a runaway bride. The Castaway Bride is available exclusively on Amazon.

My new indie-published release, Something About Joe, is a re-release of my first published novel, (then entitled Mitchell's Nanny.) Something About Joe is a heartwarming, sexy romance about a stressed out single mom who falls in love with her toddler's new nanny-a hot hunk on a Harley who roars into her heart. Something About Joe is available only as an e-book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords and other e-book retailers.

 

My romantic comedies, Love Is A Four-Legged Word and Home Is Where the Bark Is  (both published by Berkley Sensation, an imprint of Penguin New York) are available in both print and Kindle editions.

Love Is A Four-Legged Word is set in San Francisco, and is a humorous romance about Brutus, a little mutt who inherits a big fortune, and the people he brings together - quirky chef Maddy Cartwright and ambitious lawyer Tom O'Brien.

Home Is Where the Bark Is tells a tale of romance, mystery and dogs. This is Serena's story, Maddy's best friend in Love Is A Four-Legged Word (the books are linked but you don't need to read one to enjoy the other - though of course I'd love it if you did!) It's set in Serena's upscale doggy day-care center in San Francisco and sexy PI Nick Whalen is determined to dig up the secrets he's convinced she is hiding.

Animals have always been a special part of my life and keep sneaking into everything I write. Click on Pet Gallery to meet some of the four-legged friends in my life. You can also meet special pets belonging to other authors and readers. If you'd like to see your pet in my pet gallery, please email me your photos!

I love cooking, too. Maddy devises some marvelous recipes in Love Is A Four-Legged Word and here she shares them with you. Just click on Recipes to try them out.  There are also healthy snacks for dogs, starting with Brutus's Favorite Cupcakes.

I hope you enjoy my website. It's always a thrill to hear from readers so please email me or chat with me on Facebook.
