Writing in Retirement is a Great Life


I was happy as a 911 Emergency Medical Dispatcher back in New Hampshire, but the chance to move to the south had its reasons such as:

*no more shoveling snow

*move closer to relatives

*no more working 10 hour shifts starting at 6 a.m.

*no more worrying how to pay the taxes and flood insurance

*no more driving through ice and snow



It helped that I had started writing romance novels with hopes of being published. My husband found out that he could transfer from his New Hampshire company to its Raleigh affiliate. We agreed I would do nothing but write. I was off and running!

My first book, Secret Love Match, was soon purchased by a small publisher and released months later in June 2010. What was lucky, was that I sold another story titled Dragon's Curse to a second small publisher. They also published my book in June 2010. Actually, on the same day! Dragons Curse is still available.

48 or so books later, I have survived several ups and downs such as the pandemic and recent cataract surgeries that kept me from reading or writing until now. Then, a family member got Covid (no the pandemic is NOT over). Caring for her through her hospitalizations and then rehab took up some time, but this is what good families do.


I will release my next book on May 12, 2023 and am currently creating a cover that will intrigue and get noticed by readers.
The Rogue's Ring is mainly set in Scotland. I have plans to finish another historical romance also set in Scotland. (Can you see a pattern?) 

Until then, I wish y'all good weather and clean drinking water. And, please do not forget Ukraine.
