Hello friends!

Welcome to my website! If you've come to learn a little about me and my books, pull up a chair and make yourself at home. If you've come for another reason, you're going to be disappointed. ;-)

I'm so excited about my newest book, Driftwood Lane (July 6, 2010)! Thomas Nelson did a fabulous job with the cover, don't you think? This is my last Nantucket Love Story (sniff, sniff) and I think you're going to love it. Here's a blurb of the story:

Meridith can handle anything: guardianship of three distant siblings, a dilapidated Bed-and-Breakfast, even an ever-present handyman who's dismantling more than her fireplace--or can she?

When the death of Meridith's estranged father leaves her with custody of three siblings she's never met, she reluctantly goes to Nantucket to care for them--but only until their uncle returns from his trip. Little does she know, the uncle is already there under the guise of her friendly handyman, with plans of his own.

Will the love that grows between them be strong enough to overcome the secrets that brought them both to Driftwood Lane?

Driftwood Lane also features a Golden Retriever named Piper. She was inspired by our family dog, Daisy. Here's our Daisy with our youngest son, Trevor, tussling in the snow here in Indiana. 

I have some exciting news! Due to the tremendous response I've received from my Facebook Friends about the cowboy story I'm writing, my publisher and I have decided there should be 3 cowboy books! The first, due out in Spring 2011 will be called A Cowboy's Touch. This is a photo of me and my new friend on my research trip to Montana.

My family is growing up! The boys, 17, 14, and 11, seem to be changing every day, but my role as supreme chauffeur continues! Blessings abound in our household, though. My husband's home improvement company is thriving, despite the down economy, and I'm contracted with books out through 2012. We have much to be thankful for!

Now that you know a little about me and my life, I'd like to know about you too! Please join my Facebook Group by clicking on the Facebook link at the top of the page. I frequently ask for my readers' opinions on titles, series ideas, covers, etc. Plus I give away free signed books! I want to hear from YOU! You can also sign up for my newsletter here.
