Deep into summer...

 Dear Readers,

Summer, in all her sweltering glory, has descended like a whirlwind. I had such noble intentions—to make swift work of edits, complete a few new chapters, and glide effortlessly into a re-release schedule. But life had other plans.

This season brought a lot of emotions: a long-awaited vacation (in a place with just enough Wi-Fi to tease), the joy of a family wedding, and the heartbreak of saying goodbye to someone dear - a former work colleague who meant the world to me. These are the moments that remind me that life is never neatly ordered—unlike the Regency courtship rituals I so adore writing about.

Needless to say, writing took a backseat. And while that’s always a painful pause for any author, I’ve come back to the page with a fuller heart and sharpened resolve.

The good news? An Offer From the Duke is getting a second life. The edits are nearly done—tightening scenes, brushing up dialogue, and adding a few flourishes I’d once trimmed. This new edition will feel richer, more refined, and just as indulgent as before.

Thank you, as always, for your patience and support. I know it’s been a quiet stretch, but I promise: the Duke is coming.

Spring will spring

 Hi all,

Hard to believe we are heading into spring already.

So, what's new? I've a few books coming out of their respective anthologies and those will be available as standalones. An Offer From the Duke is up but I am adding some new scenes. Usually, there is a word count limit for anthologies so sometimes I don't get to add all that I want for the first issue. Stayed tuned.

Also, Wicked Affairs, Book Eight, titled Wicked Flames will be the next anthology contribution to be listed as a standalone. I'm not sure if I will add more scenes to this story. It was less than 25,000 words to begin with and I'd need to add a huge volume of words to bring into a full novel. We'll see. Probably depends on my available time.

I'm also finishing up the last two books in the Infamous Forrester's series, involving twins Nicolas and Oliver Forrester. Books still unnamed but I'm getting close to finishing these. 

Thanks for hanging with me, friends and readers!

Here it is... Christmas already!!

 Greeting friends and readers,

Merry Christmas to you all. A special thank you to all of those you purchased and read my two Christmas anthologies: Snowflakes and Scandals along with Six Mistletoe Scandals. A great group of writers participated in these works. Hope you enjoy all of the stories.

As for Christmas, I cannot believe it is on our doorstep. I've had two Christmas present unwrappings - for the kids of course. It's strange how much more exciting Christmas was as a child. But maybe as an adult I am more appreciative of the 'Reason for the Season' - a Savior for mankind. Whatever your beliefs, I hope you find peace and prosperity in the new year.
