Welcome to my web site, and thanks for
visiting. I guess since you're here, you enjoy reading romance novels and
women's fiction. I enjoy writing love stories and books for
and about women. My first
book, RIVER SONG, was published in 1998, and since then I've
published twenty-three novels. I can't say which genre is my favorite.
I
love them all because each presents new and interesting
challenges. But one thread that
seems to run through my books is the
small town setting. I have traveled
to much of the United States, and I
can honestly say that I have found
something to admire about every
locale. But I am always drawn back
to America's small
towns. So join me on the front
porch, have a cup of coffee, and
stay a while!

Angel
Now Available on Kindle for

The year is
1871, and life at a remote
lighthouse off the Georgia

Livvy Drummond. Then a
wounded convict escapes from
a passing prison ship and
swims ashore. He threatens
her and collapses at her
feet. When Lieutenant
Gabriel Hampton opens his
eyes, he beholds an angel.
An angel who not only nurses
him back to health, but

his rugged, feral
appearance. Having escaped a
life sentence, the result of
an unjust court martial, he
finds new life, and new
love, in the hands of the
lightkeeper’s beautiful
granddaughter. Although
Livvy is determined to help
Gabe escape his hopeless
future, secrets from her
childhood threaten to
destroy what she and Gabe
have built —secrets that
tragically link her to Gabe
in a way neither would ever
have dreamed. Will they be
able to find their way back
to each other? Or will the
Civil War claim another two
victims?
