It's coming!

Busy working on the second romance novella under the "Mr. Librarian" umbrella!  This time we land in Venice, Italy and our hot librarian is Dante Alessandro -- tall, dark and a former soccer star, to boot.

Lacey Whittaker is recovering from a traumatic incident and, using her great-grandmother's travel journal from 1925, she is making her way through Europe.  But landing in "La Serenessima" has her deciding to stay longer while the hot Alessandro repairs the delicate journal.  

Can he also repair Lacey's heart?  Anticipated release date?  November 1st!  But in the meantime, why not pick up Love Long Overdue, the first in the "Mr. Librarian" series for only 99 cents!

Available at these sites!

Happy Labor Day

NEW Release -- Book #1 of a new series!

All librarians wear cardigans, sensible shoes and glasses, right?  Think again.

Gina Bradshaw has kept her heart under lock and key for years.  Casual relationships have been the norm until the new librarian comes to town.  Now she's fighting against every instinct to keep her heart intact and stumbling headlong into the hot Scots' arms, determined that this is just another summer fling.  But Adam Cameron, lean-muscled, tall and handsome as sin, knows that Gina is The One from the first moment he sees her.  Now all he has to do is convince her that he's right. But the lass is proving to be obstinate.  All the better as he likes nothing more than a challenge, especially when the goal is not only taking her to bed, but wedding her, too.

So darn hard!

It's tough trying to write, revise and edit a book in the midst of summer . . . ugh.  It's so darn beautiful out there in the sun and the garden with the roses and clematis and the morning glory vines and the green, green grass -- well, you get the picture, I'm sure.

In the midst of winter it's so much easier to hole up in my writing cave / craft studio and hunker down for hours on end, then retreat to the fireplace with a glass of wine to do revising.  Yesterday when the temperature hit over 95, one of my daughters texted to come spend the afternoon at her pool.  

Hmmm . . . let me see:  sit in the lower level of my house and write -- OR -- go swimming in a beautiful in-ground pool and enjoy my children's company.  Which will it be?  Bingo!  Off to the pool, laptop turned off, lights out!  

So I'm confessing to you, my readers, that "Love Long Overdue" may be a bit overdue then the predicted date of release.  But I'll continue to push through, mainly because I'm so enjoying writing this romance.  I've come to love Gina and Adam (yes, I think I changed their names again) and how they ultimately come together in a HEA.

As promised -- cover reveal to come soon!  And if you haven't already signed up for my newsletter, please do so here for updates, sales alerts, etc.
