The meaning behind the dedication…

in my newest Heaven’s Matchmaker release.

First, I have to show you this:

Don’t they look so pretty all in a series row on Amazon? LOL

Now, the final book in the HEAVEN’S MATCHMAKER series, YOU’RE MY MATCH is up for preorder across all digital media. On Amazon, you can preorder it here: ZON On every other platform such as Kobo, Apple books, etc, You can order it here: universal.

Now, this book is dedicated to someone I have never met, and probably never will, but she was instrumental in helping me develop one of the most important secondary characters in the book, CarlieRae Quinlan, Charity Quinlan’s mother, our FMC.

Charity is from Mississippi, as are her parents, CarlieRae and Rory Quinlan. And on the page, they SOUND as southern as they can be – in the best possible way. To get the phraseology and cadence down pat, I used comedienne LEANNE MORGAN as my spirit guide for CarlieRae, and because she was perfection – I dedicated the book to her. Here’s the dedication:

To comedienne and fabulous human being, LEANNE MORGAN. Why, you ask, am I dedicating a book to a celebrity I have never met? Because she was the inspiration for CarlieRae Quinlan. Without Ms. Morgan’s wit, comedic timing, and insight into human nature, mothering, and menopause, CarlieRae would never exist.

When you read YOU’RE MY MATCH, and if you have ever seen Ms Morgan perform, you will HEAR her voice when CarlieRae is on the page, speaking. I guarantee it.
