Thank you so much for hosting me today Madelyn!
I don’t have to tell any writer how difficult
it is to find time to put words to paper, let alone create them in your mind.
But I am finding I do not have the abundance of time I thought I would to
contribute to my writing. Between soccer games, football games and cheerleading,
I’m keeping the road hot.
But, I’m very pleased to announce the release
of my latest book, “The Only One”, book three in the One and Only historical
Series. I write hot, sizzling romance. All I ever wanted was to see my book
sitting on a shelf in the book store. Once I joined RWA, I took workshops and
gained a wealth of information. I grew as a writer. In 2013 I was a finalist in
The Golden Rose Contest and “The Right One”, the first in my trilogy, went on
to be awarded Second Place. I signed my first contract with Soul Mate
Publishing. Since then I’ve had four books published.
As for my historical series, each of
my books have a beginning and a romantically satisfying end for my characters
happily ever after. Nothing is left hanging. I love the idea of a connection from a previous book so I thought it
would be nice to write a series of books with a few familiar characters.
In the first
book of the series, “The Right One”,
Katherine’s brother is missing. Book two, The
True One, is Stephen’s story—why he was gone for two years, what
happened to him, and a love story all his own. And now—book three. Giles was introduced in the first book as
Morgan’s best friend—the duke. In the second book, he is asked to
rescue Kat’s brother, Stephen. The Only
One is his love story.
One impulsive kiss to prove
the young girl flirted with danger shakes Giles’ firm resolve. The
young
American is wild and reckless, and before long he realizes, she’s too much to
handle. He surrenders. A duke must adhere to his duty. His title demands his
home is in England. Tormented with longing for the woman who branded his very
soul, he forsakes nobility and returns to claim the love he has carelessly
thrown away.
From the first moment
Alexandria saw the duke she knew he would be hers. Determined to get the man
she wants, she devises a plan, curbs her reckless nature, and presents the
proper lady his nobility requires. The interference of her brothers disrupts
her amours pursuit, yet the feisty girl seduces the lord with a woman’s passion,
and brands the duke hers forever.
A Hero Grinch For Christmas Blurb:
Dani
will not allow The Grinch to hide from Christmas. She will cure Hunter of his
nasty mood, even if it kills her. But who will save her from his passionate
kisses.
War hero, Hunter Graham, has seen enough devastation to last
a lifetime. At the end of his latest Army term, he accepted his discharge
papers and never looked back. His uncle’s home is tucked away in the majestic
mountains, a perfect place for him to hide from Christmas and his own memories.
But he can’t hide from the delectable Dani. The last thing he needs is a female
in his life. But this one has the face of an angel and eyes you could drown in.
Dani Wimer left the Colorado Mountains and relocated in the
bright lights of New York City. Every December she returns to the village of
Evergreen. When a hunky military guy enters her aunt’s shop, he seems lost and
angry. His scowl is intimidating, but that doesn’t bother the spunky girl who
celebrates the holidays like it’s Christmas every day. She decides to put a
smile on his Grinch face and ends up losing her heart in a passionate
whirlwind.
I get a lot of
joy from creating new characters and bringing them together in a romantic tale.
My characters have depth, emotional investments, life-threatening challenges.
The power of a story is in the character’s true emotions. The reader wants to
be in the moment. Feel what the characters feel – emotionally. I try to give
this to my readers. Although all my characters are fictitious, I have taken
real life experiences to achieve the emotion for my heroes and heroines.

“I was not spying.”
“Of course you weren’t. Judging
from the conversation I interrupted, no young girl would know the subject they
were discussing anyway.”
Her face flushed scarlet. He
arched a brow. Surely she had no idea the boys were speaking of tupping a
girl’s skirts.
“You’re handsome,” the girl
stated baldly, expanding a breath as if she’d held her mouth closed too long.
He didn’t know whether to be
flattered or feel concern at a possible purpose behind her words.
“What do you know of handsome
men?”
“My brothers, I guess are
handsome. But they’re my brothers. I don’t care enough about other men to
consider them handsome.”
Care?
“So then, why are you here?” He
gave her his best glare.
“I’ve grown out of pigtails. I’m
a woman now.”
Swallowing his amazement, he
nearly choked. “Donning a dress does not make you a woman.” His gaze dipped in
a slow, silent perusal. The damn girl’s breeches emphasized her curves, leaving
nothing to a man’s imagination. Not that he should notice, of course, but . . .
Damnation. She didn’t look the least like a child.
“I see you’ve resorted to
breeches again. After your brothers’ reproaching insults, I would think you’d
learned your lesson.”
She thrust out her chest. “Papa always
said I had spirit. I am not unwise.”
“You think it wise to hide in a
tackle bin? To be alone here with me?”
“You’re a duke. A gentleman.”
He gave a harsh laugh. “Being a
duke does not make me a gentleman.”
“But Aunt Cornelia said English
aristocrats live by their honor. You’re a nobleman. You have integrity, and
morals.”
“Morals? Honor? A man lives by
his own decree. What if I were to take liberties?”
“I can handle you.” Her eyes lit
up and she seemed too sure of herself.
The gall of the chit.
With one quick movement, his
hands shot out and jerked her against his chest. A gasp rushed from her throat,
but she boldly held his gaze. With deliberate daring, his arms imprisoned her.
He watched the emotions flitting over her face. He meant to punish, to teach,
to frighten. His gaze lowered to her mouth.
He’d send her fleeing for good.
He captured her lips in a
forceful kiss.
Her fingers twisted his shirt.
Good God, she kissed him back.
With such enthusiasm, he was flabbergasted.
Unconscionable, that one so young
should kiss with such skill. Had the damned girl been coached? She should slap
him, call him a knave. Push him away, scream at him. Instead, she twined her
arms about his neck while her warm, seeking tongue pirouetted a mating dance
with his.
Chest heaving, he grabbed her
shoulders and thrust her away.
“Where the hell did you learn to
kiss like that?”
