Just One Look

Five Star Publishers

This book is proof that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover! With apologies to the artist, but this mundane cover simply doesn't do justice to this rollicking tale.

This comedy of errors courtship between two doctors proves there's still a little high school in all of us!

"Before today, she hadn't laid eyes on him in over fifteen years. Dallas was a big place. There was no reason why she shouldn't go another fifteen without seeing him again. Two days later, Jennifer discovered one very good reason why Matt Penrose must have reappeared in her life. ...Fate. That was the only explanation, she thought, peeking out from behind a potted palm in a corner of the Ballroom...."



Time to party! I just closed a very nice deal with Ulverscroft. The British publisher purchased large print rights to six of my backlist titles. (They're listed on this PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED page.) Hurray!

Summer's Fortune
ISBN 0-7862-4450-X
Five Star Publishers
a division of Thomson-Gale

  What happens when a woman goes millionaire hunting in Houston? Read Summer's Fortune for the answer.
  "Summer closed her mind to the past and gunned the engine. Gravel pinged against the undercarriage of the car until she got out onto the asphalt country road. She slid the shift lever into drive and headed for Houston. A long day of driving in the hot Texas sun lay ahead of her.
  Then she'd know if all the planning, all the money and time she'd spent on herself, had been worth it."
 


How STILL THE ONE
came into being
Still The One
ISBN 1-5941-4177-0
Five Star Publishers
a division of Thomson-Gale

A story of love, laughter, and maybe - just maybe - happily ever after. This delightful marriage of convenience story (or is that a marriage of INconvenience?) is about two people who are given that rarest of gifts - a second chance.
"Ally Fletcher had waited six years - six long years - for this opportunity. There was no way a mere thunderstorm was going to stop her."

Don't you love the old rock and roll standard Still The One? I do. Let me tell you how my book Still The One came to life.

I've attended a lot of weddings and have waited, breath held, each time the minister asked: "Does anyone here know why this man and this woman shouldn't be joined in holy matrimony?"

No one has ever yelled, "Stop the wedding."

But, what if someone did? What would happen? That train of thought intruded into my writerly brain at a wedding I attended a few years ago.

What if someone spoke up because they were still married to the groom? Whoa! Now that's a situation rife with conflict - and humor!

Thus Ally and Burke jumped onto paper. How could two people who really loved each other end up broken apart? More importantly, how can they learn from past mistakes and get back together?

Sounds like serious subject matter, but I wanted also to show the underlying humor from the whole bizarre situation.

I think I succeeded, but you be the judge of that. I hope you'll get your copy of the book and have as much fun reading it as I had writing it.
