The Touch of Love is now on Pre-Order!!!
I'm so excited to announce that my new novel, The Touch of Love is now available for pre-order!!!
Isn't the cover beautiful?
The story is such a compelling one that this easily became my longest story I've written to date. Actually, there was so much story that it's two! The book involves alternating, intertwined stories - one is a love story trying to survive WW2 and the other is a modern day love story. Fans of romance, historical romance, historical fiction, and contemporary fiction will all love it.

It releases April 27th for everyone to (finally) enjoy ... can't wait!!!

Release Day is here for THE TOUCH OF LOVE!!
I'm thrilled to say that my new novel, THE TOUCH OF LOVE, is finally out for everyone!!
Writing this story was truly as if I was writing the story I was always meant to tell. It's as if all paths from prior novels were leading to this one. I'd always wanted to write a love story trying to survive WW2. But I didn't think I could do it. Really. It seemed a daunting, insurmountable mountain I'd never peak. For years, I put it off as a pipe-dream for another day - one which I honestly didn't think I'd actually get to.
But like all hikes, it starts with the first step. So, I started to write it. And the story flowed like a faucet of inspiration which wouldn't shut off. I kept writing and writing because I was so engrossed in the characters. I loved them as if they're real. And I wanted to stay in the world I'd created. But then it had to end. And when the final words were written, I sat and smiled - not because of having just completed another novel. But because it was the ending which all of the characters deserved.
I have a rule when I write: I write for myself. If I can't move, entertain, or inspire myself, then how could I ever hope to do it in others? And when editing this novel multiple times, I found myself constantly moved, entertained, and inspired. Still, on the 3rd or 4th read, I'm finding myself both laughing and in tears. I did it. I loved writing TOUCH, and I missed it. I won't say I "finally" completed what I set out to accomplish ... because, honestly, each one of my prior novels has done similar things. I love them all. But with TOUCH, I did more than write a novel - I completed a goal, and I created a world that I still miss writing.
THE TOUCH OF LOVE is available today, both in ebook and paperback, on Amazon HERE: https://amzn.to/3qxoIL4
