Aussie Meat Pie
When my hubs and I got married, there were a few things I had to learn to cook. Toast with Vegemite and mild cheddar cheese. Ham and cheese sandwiches with butter on the bread instead of mustard.

The fall my dad took on November 4, 2019, the little spill in his bedroom we thought was no big deal, has turned out to be a very big deal indeed. … Continue reading Losing My Grip

Winter Knight, the book I have coming out on February 11, 2020, is the only romance I've ever written just for me. I love all my kissy book stories, all my heroines, all my heroes.
