I write books, publish multi-author box sets, grow roses and other plants popular here in Oregon, and am a hardworking volunteer. Oh, and spend as much time as I can with my grandchildren. So much for being retired…
I first started writing because the idea of ‘What would happen if I fell into a story like Outlander’ wouldn’t stop haunting me. The only way to quiet that noise was to write. Naked in the Winter Wind was the result. I found out later, I was not alone. Many of my author friends said the same thing: writing was the only way to quiet those noisy Muses!
I kept writing The Fairies Saga series. A year or so later, I published my stories with Chill Out! Books. Soon thereafter, some of my friends and I got together. We created a collection of some of our older titles (backlist books) with the same theme, created a fun preface for the title (Unforgettable) and called it a box set by The Authors’ Billboard. That series has nearly 30 titles now. When we put together new Christmas stories, we made USA Today Bestsellers’ List with our effort: twice!
Now six years later, I’ve published one hundred multi-author box sets with Chill Out! Books. The Fairies Saga series is still growing, I created three other series (sharing a few TFS characters), and wrote a bunch of single, stand-alone stories, too! Yeah, those muses are noisy still.
I just released five self-authored collections that might be of interest. Check these out:
Arlie Undercover has had quite a few assistants – both official and unsolicited volunteers – over the years. Enjoy the journey of friends and family as new bonds are built in Arlie and Company, all eight (so far) stories in the series. Have you ever heard about That Twin Thing, the link between twins? Read the whole series with one download.
The Fairies Saga has grown! I thought it was going to stop at five books with Fairies Down Under (still in the works). It’s FIFTEEN stories now. To help break it down so it’s easier to appreciate, I’m trying something different. I took one couple, extracted their presence from the series, and created one box set. Just Jenny and Scout contains all of their presence from the series. They don’t appear until later in Naked in the Winter Wind, so I only include those chapters. Four books are dedicated to their budding relationship, but three are focused on other characters with Jenny and Scout only ‘popping in’ for a few chapters. If all you want is historical romance, check it out.
What happens when you separate triplets at birth, tell the mother her babies died, and never let anyone know about the others? Yup, they’ll eventually find each other. The Whole She-Bang! is all five books of Triplets: Three Aren’t One series in one spot. Another literary experiment, this series contains women’s fiction, suspense, billionaire romance, romantic comedy, and time travel romance. Just like life, people and events vary. Eventually, all get a Happy Ever After. It’s the journey that makes their stories.
