I’m an Iron Chef America and Law and Order addict who loves to cook, eat, and read. I wish you could burn a ton of calories being sedentary and eating. Don’t you? If only…

I’ve been married for 34 years to an amazing man who still astounds me every single day. I’m the proud mama of three fantastic sons, all of whom are now of legal age.

Now if only they’d stop changing majors in college…

Growing up on the Caribbean island of Trinidad where the population is representative of almost every race and nation on the planet, multiculturalism oozes from my pores. Though my high school was an all-girl Catholic convent run by nuns, we were taught all religions, Hinduism, Muslim, Buddhism, and celebrated all the holidays associated with those religions...more

Memorial Day 2012

On May 31st at 7:30 a.m., I become an American citizen. This is a goal I’ve worked toward for thirteen long years. It wasn’t an easy process and there were times when I wondered if the struggle was worthwhile. I’m here to tell you it is. There is no other country in the world like this one.

Do you know of any country where the pursuit of happiness is part of the constitution?

There, that’s it....

The Viking's Virgin Bride (Romance)

1 chapters — updated Nov 16, 2010 08:02am

Description: Torsten, Jarl of Stjórardalr and known as the Northern Bear, glimpses Ainslin of Durham, a recent widow with two sons, and immediately covets her for his wife. He outmaneuvers his rival, Earl Sigrid, and receives the king’s blessing to marry her. Shocked to discover her a virgin, he demands an explanation. Ainslin’s first husband, Hadrain, two-score years her senior, was unable to perform, and the marriage went unconsummated. Earl Sigrid’s land adjoined Hadrain’s and during one of the Earl’s frequent visits, the Earl raped her maid, Greta. Hadrain’s sons had died in battle, and they feared the Earl would petition King Cnut for Ainslin’s hand after Hadrain passes. When Greta conceived, Hadrain sent Ainslin, Greta, and his steward and wife to his Wales holdings, then announced in court that Ainslin was with child. To win over his wife, Torsten has her sons brought to Stjórardalr only to discover that they traveled with Earl Sigrid on his ship. Does Sigrid suspect the twins are his? By right of law, he can claim both the boys and Ainslin. Who will believe Ainslin a virgin when she’s claimed motherhood for three years? Will Torsten cast Ainslin and the boys aside?

“He, Dominix Alexander Zubiri, was in love. With a woman who gagged at the thought of sucking his dick. The universe's idea of a colossal joke.”
