Excerpt Thursday! The Journey Back

This has definitely been a week with an out-of-this world kind of feel. To celebrate the weirdness I felt it calls for science fiction romance, a genre I can't get enough of. How about you? Now, if only I can push my to-do list along and get to that scifi trilogy written in bits and parts and languishing in its folder. Wish me luck and enjoy this excerpt from The Journey Back , available from Dreamspinner Press.

Summary: Sci-fi romance. Riley had it all. He was the king of Futureball, on top o...

Excerpt Thursday: Bridge of Dreams (PG-13)

In keeping with yesterday's travel the Straits post I felt it only fair to post an excerpt from my short, Bridge of Dreams.

Summary: It took a special kind of man to work the tall iron on the Straits of Mackinac Bridge crew. Construction foreman Daniel Morris expected his new "tall walker" to be a brave man - but Phillip Sands proved just as courageous in matters of the heart. Danger and possible sabotage lead to an incident that could claim Daniel's life - or convince him to believe in his ...

Pasties Ahoy! Or Bridge of Dreams, Revisited. A MI Travelogue

Happy Wednesday World! How's the middle of the week treating us all? I'm taking a break from this blog's usual business to share my adventures in the Straits of Mackinac this past Saturday. If you're a fan of my short, Bridge of Dreams you know I have a great fondness for the Straits area, the Mackinac Bridge and, of course, Michigan Pasties.

That's where this post truly began. With our stomachs. I hate to say it, but nothing compares to a Northern Michigan Pastie. I know the bakery down the ...

Excerpt Thursday: Santa's Little Helper (PG)

In keeping with the Dreamspinner Press 20% off holiday sale going on now here's a snip from Santa's Little Helper, one of my favorite holiday stories. Rob is such a feisty character.

Summary: Left in the lurch without a Santa, Rob grabs a gorgeous guy he sort-of recognizes from the office to wear the red suit, and it's immediate attraction on both their parts. But Rob's ex, John, knows something important about the jolly ol' fellow, something he hopes doesn't ruin the holiday magic.
