The Wholesome Heart of Happily Ever After...

It all started when I was a kid. I developed a love of raspberry jam (still love it) and a love of writing (ditto on that one too).

I wrote my first book at the ripe old age of nine. It was eight whole pages! Unfortunately, it was a shameless rip-off of Black Beauty. What can I say?

Lovin' that Small-Town Vibe

In 30 years of publishing, I've experimented with different styles and varieties of novels. I enjoyed one teen adventure novel and a Young Adult mystery with a paranormal element, as well as other stories for different audiences. Writing them was a fun diversion, but I've found my home in sweet romances set in America's small towns.

What's the charm of the small town? Ask the faithful f

Charming! Some collections are uneven in quality, but all six of these stories have strong voices, interesting settings and plots, and sweet, happy endings.

Susan Aylworth liked Kerrie A Summers's review of Paris in the Springtime (Seasons of Destiny Series #1): "Paris and a Principal Paris returns to Destiny and her Grandma. She honked but noticed a note saying she will be back soon. Paris then went to the school to see Aunt Jess for a key for Grandma's house. She literally ran into Greg Frantz at the school."
