Once Wicked

Still wicked. I'll always have it in me. But in 2000, for my second book, I actually got to use wicked in the title, and that, my friends, was what we in Massachusetts like to call "wicked awesome!"

ONCE WICKED is a Regency historical, with a kind-hearted heroine (taking care of orphans) and a highwayman who only wants to make his fortune, but ends up falling in love and finding out what really matters (love, not money, in case I didn't hit you over the head with it). So, yep, it was a highwayman/heroine with a heart of gold story, not too many of those out there, right? Certainly none quite like mine.

It was after writing Once Wicked that my dad got in a terrible motorcycle accident and I took some time off to help him through rehab, and to reevaluate my career. I ended up writing TO HELL WITH LOVE after this one, so maybe that says something about how I felt about romance for a little while there. I miss it now. I love reading historical romance and who knows, one day, maybe I'll write it again, too.

ONCE WICKED is available used at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and other fine UBS outlets. Soon to be sold as an ebook (as soon as I can format it and get it going). Will keep you posted.

Have you ever had a change of heart? A change of occupation? Did it work out well for you, or were there some regrets?
