Thanks so much for allowing me a guest spot on this blog. I’m so happy to be featured here. Have you ever jokingly tossed out an idea … and it turned out to be just what you needed? That’s how Shore is Magical , my latest Gulf Shore novel and my first paranormal, was conceived. I was doing an online chat with other authors when the subject turned to paranormal novels, particularly shape-shifters. Confession: I haven’t read too many of those books, usually preferring reality (or a reasonable facsimile of it) over fantasy. The other authors were discussing the merits of the animals usually favored in shifter novels: tigers and other big cats, bears and wolves, primarily. “How about a dolphin shifter?” I kiddingly suggested in full smart-aleck mode. Dolphins are one of my favorite animals and have been since I was a little girl who listed Flipper at the top of her must-see TV list. Surprisingly—to me anyway—the other chat participants quickly and enthusiastically choru...

Loving Lydia, originally the first in the series is now re-edited and re-issued as Book #2. Excerpt The stables were empty except for the quiet hush of the horses blowing out gently or shuffling into a more comfortable position as they settled down. She could hear his voice at the far end of the stable as he sang to himself. She recognized the country song and smiled as she stepped forward. “Sam?” There was a moment of silence, and then Sam stepped out from behind a large black stallion, holding some kind of small hook in his hand. “Lydia? What are you doing down here?” “I need to speak with you.” He stepped forward, but she held up a hand. “Earlier, you said you wanted me.” “Lydia, I don’t think…” “No, please. I need to say this. You said you wanted me but…I’m not very good in bed. I’m no good at sex.” The words rushed out, and she watched as his mouth dropped open and his eyes widened. “Christ, I can’t stand here and listen to this. Lydia, honey, please don...
