What’s New
I’ve just published a romantic suspense novel called Lost Time.
It’s the story of Abby Rousseau, who has always wondered about her maternal family. Her mother’s early death and her father’s stubborn silences have left that side of her history blank until a strange summons takes her from California to Massachusetts. There, she discovers an ancestry steeped in mystery and a devastatingly attractive man who resents her very existence. Dealing with ominous threats and a garden that seems to have a mind of its own, Abby needs all her skills and courage to find her way through the depths of lost time to a chance of happiness on the other side.
If that sounds appealing, I hope you’ll give it a try. I always appreciate hearing what you think through your book reviews
Since you’re here, I imagine you like historical romances, Regencies in particular. I’ve loved them since I was about fourteen. Foraging in my small town Ohio public library, in the back where there weren’t any book jackets, I was searching for something new to read. I pulled down a book called Arabella, and that was it. Georgette Heyer became a new favorite. I gobbled up every book of hers I could find. When I started to write my own books, I found inspiration in her writing. She did things I wanted to do, as well as I could. First, fun. It’s always my dream to make readers laugh out loud, as I often did when I read Heyer. Think of Hugo Darracott’s masterly manipulation of a scene out of farce in The Unknown Ajax. Second, an essential humanity. I like heroes who achieve their HEAs by showing kindness, and particularly by recognizing a heroine’s needs and fulfilling them. Third, true love as a process. Of course, we can all be dazzled by a wild physical attraction. But desire alone doesn’t make a true match. My couples challenge each other and reveal their true characters through action before they find their happy endings. The romance genre has evolved since Georgette Heyer’s time. Readers want the hero’s point of view as well as the heroine’s. Many are keen to follow couples beyond the bedroom doors. Way beyond sometimes. They’re also interested in what was happening outside the ballrooms of the Regency upper classes. And that’s great. It opens up all kinds of exciting opportunities and storylines. My sources of inspiration have expanded, too. But these things remain constant: I try to create believable, humane characters; plot stories in which two people learn about each other and find their way to recognition and love; and stir up a bit of fun.
