Let me tell you a little about myself. Twenty years ago, I wrote my first book just to see if I could do it. The novel occupied space on my bookshelf, unread for nearly twenty years until one day, while in a cleaning frenzy, I considered disposing of the neatly stacked but now age-yellowed pages. As I began to read the long-forgotten work, I was surprised to discover that the story was enjoyable! Editing and retyping the first book provided a new sense of accomplishment and additional tales followed. Completion of This is Fitting encouraged me to write five more romance novels all of which have been published. Sunset Island, first book of the Friends Series was released in September 2013. Sunset Island was quickly followed by the remaining books in the Friends Series: The Interim (a novelette), Awaiting My Assignment, and Anything Your Heart Desires and three stand-alone novels One Day Longer Than Forever, It's Complicated, I Love My Life, and Journey To You. Now retired, there is all the time in the world to write. I live on the east coast with my partner of thirty years. Because we love a challenge, we provide a loving home for two spoiled cats instead of a dog. In addition to writing, any spare time is devoted to reading, mastering new computer programs, and socializing with friends. --This text refers to the paperback edition.
