I love a book that makes me forget everything except what I'm reading. As a preteen, I devoured Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys' Mysteries. When I reached my teens, romance novels became my favorite genre. Many years later, I decided to try my hand at writing and I've been doing so with a passion ever since. I have released over twenty-five romance novels, including a contemporary western series titled "Romance on the Ranch."

Updated Covers

Occasionally, I enjoy updating my book covers, so during this downtime of COVID-19, I applied myself to doing just that. The first series I updated was the RED ROCKS TRILOGY, and the second was FINDING HOME. I also released the third novella in the JOURNEYS OF THE HEART SERIES.

During this season of seclusion I find myself reflecting on what is truly important -- family, friends, compassion, nature Read more of this blog post »

Verna Clay answered Goodreads's question: Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why? My favorite fictional couple is from the first book (Dream Kisses) in my "Romance on the Ranch Series."

Verna’s Quotes

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
― William Faulkner

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”
