Remember your first kiss? Your first deep, passionate love? Touch of Magic is three sweet stories inspired by nursery rhymes of those wonderful moments we so fondly remember. In "Rain, Rain, Go Away," a shy meteorologist at a TV station yearns for the love of a Stevie Nicks loving copy editor during the worst flood in Reno history. "Tinker, Taylor," tells the romantic story of a body-surfing cowboy who gets swept off his feet on the beach of Malibu by a pretty teacher who has given up on love. In "Gingerbread Man," a hotshot financier in Las Vegas meets a concert pianist, also the girl he left behind, just when the corporate winds are blowing against him.
I was born in Illinois and migrated to Arizona and Nevada. I've been a westerner my adult life and it's what I love to write about. There's nothing like Cowboys and horses to dress up a good story. But I enjoy mysteries as well and write as SJ Slagle when I have a heart-pumping story to tell.
