"I could not, at any age,
be content to take my
place by the fireside and
simply look on. Life was
meant to be lived.
Curiosity must be kept
alive. One must never,
for whatever reason,
turn her back on life."
~ Eleanor Roosevelt ~

Inspirational and Romantic Suspense are the two genres
I most enjoy reading and writing, because it's mostly
what I read as a young girl.
High upon a Tennessee hill in our back yard, stood a
gnarly old Oak. The cool of evening or heat of the day
found me leaned against its trunk. The perfect place to
daydream. Dreams--transformed by a simple turn of the
page.
Those type books followed me through today because
they all had happy endings and who doesn't prefer an
uplifting read? Soon characters wandered into my own
head. That writing passion lingered.

people refuse to forgive for different reasons, until they
realize their happiness depends on forgiveness.
small town on the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee, two
people refuse to forgive for different reasons, until they
realize their happiness depends on forgiveness.
Truth and understanding are powerful.
Nursing wounds over a broken engagement,
twenty-seven-year-old Cali Weston, submerges
herself into making Weston Art Gallery, the best in
Atlanta. She has no inclinations of becoming
romantically involved again.
Summoned to Crossroads, Tennessee to settle her
father's affairs, she meets Trace Robbins. A
widower at twenty-six.
After the death of his wife, Jena, Trace faces
raising his son, Dylan, alone. He blames himself for
both the accident and Jena's death. Now her
memory haunts him. Neither love or marriage is an
option.
Sparks fly when Cali realizes Trace's interests are
centered not on her, but on two-hundred acres of
prime farm land, she'd acquired from her father.
Cali finds her concern leans toward the heart.
Cali struggles with meeting obligations of the art
studio and holding onto last ties of her father's
memory.
Neither deny a strong attraction to the other. But,
Trace can't let go of Jena's memory, and Cali won't
play second fiddle to a ghost.

Megan Phillips faces the second most difficult time in
her life. A dying father she hasn't seen in seven years,
and Adam, a brother she hadn't known existed.
Complications arise when Bret Evans, her father's
lawyer, advises her of the codicil in her father's will.
She will raise Adam or give up all rights to her
inheritance.
Adam's future depends on Megan. But Megan has no
intention of accepting the inheritance from her father's
estate, nor the responsibility of his child. She wouldn't
allow him to dictate her life from the grave.
Megan knows nothing of raising children and doesn't
need her life turned upside down by Adam nor Bret.
But, when Bret forces a meeting of the two siblings,
she has a change of heart.
Bret Evans leads an uncomplicated bachelors life,
though Megan and Adam may be the threat that takes
him on a journey to family.
Can he resist the first woman ever, who's aroused a
change of heart in him?
