It’s a thrill to be back at Fresh Fiction, talking about the next novel in my exciting psychic fantasy series. SECRET LEGACY takes us even deeper into the world of the “near-here”–ruled by the peculiar things that happen daily around us, only in my Psychic Real, these not-so-everyday things that spook and surprise and amaze us are real, rather than just coincidence or our imagination getting the best of us. That’s the best part about being back to blog with you guys, I guess. I get to talk some more about this contemporary fantasy realm that grew from my own dreams and obsession with how close we just might be to the “fringe science” we find ourselves occasionally thinking might actually be real. I mean, what if you could program your dreams to work for you, while you’re resting from all the “real” work you do each day? There are scientists who believe you can. And “what if” those dreams and the progress you make through them could be an even more exciting adventure, because you’re sharing it with someone close to you? Shared dreaming is an accepted possibility in some circles. And “what if” there were psychics who could…

I’ve been in love with heroes my whole life. Show me a romance fan who hasn’t. We want to believe in the hero in all of us, and most especially in the hunky leading men that Harlequin and Silhouette bring to life on their covers every month, right? But how exactly does a novel like The Fireman’s Secret Baby get dreamed into being??? My Atlanta Heroes series started as a challenge to myself to find a way to write action and suspense into my “home and family” Superromance stories–because I’ve also fallen in love with suspense and intrigue as I write more and more novels. Plus, I wanted to write about everyday heroes that a reader might see in her own life. Lawyers and nurses and doctors and public defenders who put so much on the line to help others, but don’t always get their share of the drool-worthy romance novel covers. I’ve had a blast hearing from readers who’ve fallen hard for my “manly” Atlanta men and their feisty heroines. It’s been a great three years–including winning last year’s Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award for Book 2 of Atlanta Heroes, To Protect the Child. Along the way, my series…

As a writer, I hope creativity will be one of the gifts I pass on to my son. It can be a scary venture, weaving story together from nothing, then sharing that vision with the world. But the results can be nothing short of amazing. Whatever your passion and gift, everyone can find a creative outlet to challenge and sustain them. The wonder of seeing others respond to your gift is a miracle you should experience at least once in your life. By definition, a legacy is a gift of property, or anything handed down from the past. My paranormal romantic suspense series from Dorchester is an exciting escape into the lives of psychic twins who are just discovering the power of their legacy: the ability to feel and control what others are feeling, and to harness others’ dreams. They spent Book One-Dark Legacy -fighting to keep a secret team of government scientists from shaping their minds into direct-strike psychic weapons. In Book Two, Secret Legacy, Sarah and Maddie Temple are still on the run. Only now the government has a psychically gifted child in its grasp-another piece of the Temple Legacy the twins never knew existed. Instead of fighting…
