Thanks for the opportunity to blog on Coffee Time Romance. I have always loved cowboys and as a teen I began to realize the combination of cowboys and romance was a fascinating topic to explore.
A seismic crew came to our small farming community when I was 15. Working in the only theater in town, I had ample opportunity to meet these new, exciting hunks. I could easily pass myself off as an 18 year old – which I did. When they left I was devastated. Life became boring again. So my girlfriend and I went to Calgary with no money. When we got off the bus, we sat drinking hot chocolate (The only thing we could afford, wondering what to do now. A man approached and after asking us if we were immigrants, suggested we go to a large hotel in the downtown area and get jobs. We did and were immediately hired. What a revelation.
From isolation to the excitement of Calgary (Cow Town). There I began my investigations into romance. After six months, I went back home to grow-up. After I grew up I went back in Calgary, Canada – ‘the new west’.  I have traveled other places, but always return.
I have have written contemporary and three historical romance books that are published. And I have some exciting news to share
June 15th, 2014 –  I am  launching my newest novel ‘Never Pick a Pretty Woman‘   Â
Book 1 of 3 – Crystal Ridge Series
- “It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.â€Â ― Leo Tolstoy, The Kreutzer Sonata.  Tolstoy helped create the idea for Never Pick a Pretty Girl. I would change one word in his quote – “It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is shallow.â€Â for today’s world.
Disillusioned with love, career and life in general, Sophie Donnelly retreats to her childhood home. Back in Crystal Ridge her plan is disrupted by the man next door. Her senses are assaulted by the ruggedly handsome, hard-working Jake. How can she convince him she is not just another pretty woman?
Jake McCallum wanted Sophie in high school. Sophie all grown stirs his heart. But he has decided he needs a plain, practical gal who can help run his ranch. Sophie is too pretty to be practical. His head says so. Which will he follow? His head or his heart?
A little steamy but mostly sweet, I offer my readers an enjoyable romance – stories of hope and spirit’s uplifted.Â
All my books are available on Amazon.
