Nora should have know her life was far from perfect. Despite starting a relationship with her guardian angel, Patch (who, title aside, can be described anything but angelic), and surviving an attempt on her life, things are not looking up. Patch is starting to pull away and Nora can’t figure out if it’s for her best interest or if his interest has shifted to her arch-enemy Marcie Millar. Not to mention that Nora is haunted by images of her father and she becomes obsessed with finding out what really happened to him that night he left for Portland and never came home.

Hi everyone! It’s great to be here and I have to thank the gang at Fresh Fiction for inviting me. I’ve been learning something about “author branding” lately and trying like heck (okay I said heck but you know I mean the other h word – the hot one) to come up with something that suits me, the person, and me the author. These are not separate people to me. I don’t know that I have a public persona. I’m just me, always. I’m the sort of person who decorates a lovely staircase with a trailing philodendron under a skylight. It’s all very elegant and pretty. Until, in a fit of irreverence, I slipped a purple glass garden slug on the side of a step overlooking my front hall. Yes. . .  look closely and you’ll see my irreverent side. In every story I write, there’s an edge of irreverent humor I cannot and will not suppress. I take almost nothing seriously. Life’s too short and if you like a little fun in your romance novels, sooner or later, you’ll find me. And today, you’ll find me in full form in STROKE OF MIDNIGHT, my newest release from Carina Press….
