Adventures in Retirement is here!

 I am happy to announce that my re-vamped books are now available for purchase!

This has been a very interesting journey for these manuscripts. These are some of the very first books I wrote, way back in 2005. I saw a couple of them published in 2006, then a few more followed in the years after.

I was okay with how the books were written -- then. But in later years, I just didn't like some of the ways I handled the hero/heroine interaction, the emotions, and a couple of the plot points.

When the publishers folded (Cerridwen and Resplendence) I had the rights returned to me and I re-read them all. Lo and behold, I found a few plot HOLES I needed to fix! I rewrote the books and got new covers, and here they are! If you go to my Shopping page, you'll find out where to buy them -- LOTS of buying options!

All the news that fits!

My latest newsletter is uploaded and ready for your viewing pleasure. I discuss the cover for my next book and how I decided to toss out 100,000 words and start over on my manuscript.

The glamorous life of a writer, right?

3 books for the price of one (sort of)

I'm so excited -- my first boxed set!

Yep, all three books in the Deadly Landscaping Series are here:

• Lilacs, Litigation, and Lethal Love Affairs
• Foxglove, Fancy Fungus and Fatal Family Feuds
• Daisies, Deadly Force and Disastrous Divorce Decrees

This is my first set of this type, so go forth and purchase!

I couldn't make this sh*t up, could I?

Yep, here I am, working on a series about a global pandemic and BOOM, one happens. From my lips to God's ear?

Seriously, I am chagrined to realize that the things I predicted in my books are coming true. It validates all the research I did. But it's serious stuff, too. In my books, I toss in a few more challenges that throws everything into chaos and we haven't approached that here, thank heavens!

I hope everyone stays safe, follows direction from whoever is in charge wherever you live. Read more books, learn a new craft, watch a film and support small businesses however you can. I personally plan to order carry-out a lot and will be buying gift cards here and there.

And for heaven's sake, don't hoard -- there's enough food and toilet paper to go around, people!

My latest newsletter is available

I just uploaded my latest newsletter in which I reveal new covers and talk about the end (maybe) in sight for my Endless American Dream Series!

Beauty & the Beast coming to a page near you

I just signed the contract for "Mazed", my Beauty & the Beast story. As with all my Remembered Classics books, I went back to the actual fairy tale for this one, so you might find a few surprises -- one of which is, who is the beauty and who is the beast?

Publish date: TBD. I'll keep you posted!
