Michigan Seasons goes wide
All three books in the Michigan Seasons trilogy are now available from Smashwords, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Apple and other major ebook retailers as well as Amazon.
The first, More Than Christmas, remains free across all vendors and takes the reader on a fast ride through Nick and Dale meeting in late summer, into fall, and on to the end of the year.
The second, After The Snow, is where things get serious. A new year, a new romance, and a deeply buried secret is revealed.
Finally, though, the su...

Paperbacks and KU
It’s been over two months since the release of Come Rain or Shine, and for so many reasons I’ve been offline most of that time (more about that in another update). So, first and foremost, I want to thank all the readers who’ve read the Michigan Seasons trilogy, and especially those that have taken the time to leave ratings and reviews, either on Goodreads, Amazon or elsewhere. Despite my lack of engagement, I have been eagerly checking in.
What’s new?
Michigans Seasons is available in paperba...

Come Rain or Shine, aptly titled
Thought I’d get up early as I have a release today (!!) but I’ve been ill the last few days with a cough and bad throat. That obviously means I dozed back off when my husband went to work, so that I didn’t wake up until the contractor who’s replacing the flat roof on our garage knocked on the door. At 9AM! What a bloody sight I was, haring downstairs in my pyjamas, answering the door with a rasp like Dusty Springfield had just smoked 20 B&H.
So, on that note, happy release day to me! Come Rai...

Finally, I’ve finished Michigan Seasons…
Except maybe I haven’t. Ha ha.
Today, I sent the final draft of ‘Come Rain or Shine’ to my editor for proofreading. It’s taken me longer than I planned, partly because she wanted a point of view change in one of the last chapters, partly because my brain seems to be in a perpetual jumble at the moment. Despite my groans, I did it, because she was right. However, those deleted words have left me with the opening to the untold story of a new side character. Hmmm.
Nick and Dale, nonetheless, wil...

Come Rain Or Shine
Quick update and a huge THANK YOU! The third and final episode in the Michigan Seasons Series, titled ‘Come Rain Or Shine’, is with my editor and will be released in April (release date, blurb, and cover reveal coming in the next few weeks).
I started this series in 2016 and had aimed to have it wrapped up in a year. Unfortunately, life got in the way. On the back of a bereavement and some ongoing health issues, I had to make some big decisions and changes to my life. Writing took a back seat...
