Another Honor for “Rose in Bloom”

My contemporary romance short, Rose in Bloom, was just named Best Novelette in the 2024 American Legacy Book Awards! The press release and full winners’ list is here.

I really did fall in love with Gareth and Rose’s story, and it makes me feel very good indeed that others have, too!

Author Appearances Scheduled

Hey, gang! I have two upcoming events.

Thanks, as always, for your support.

Please Help with Tommy’s Veterinary Bill

This really has been the week from Hell.

I am not usually one to ask for help, but I’m making an exception. Lifesaving care for my former feral, Memphis Tom (left, shown with his brother, Figaro), was just shy of $15K. Please help if you can, and share. I promise that every dime received via this GoFundMe will go directly to the credit card I maxed out to save him this past week; copies of receipts are in the GFM.

I am extremely embarrassed to come to you all, hat in hand, this way … but I could really use your help. Thank you for anything you are able to do.
