Welcome! So glad you dropped in.
Even in this high-tech world of fast living,
each of us has a place of escape.
My place is a quiet bayou harbor. The mirror
slick surface of the black water and the
swaying marsh grasses take me from season
to season, not with changing colors, but
with the wildlife it supports. Graceful herons,
snowy white egrets, and crash-diving pelicans
live alongside of alligators, blue crabs,
and playful otters. Thousands of minnows
bring the water to life in the spring, and
mullet jump across the water in summer and
fall.
Most of my stories are set along the beaches,
islands, and waterways of the Gulf Coast.
Ironically my first novel was set in the
beautiful mountains of West Virginia. Even
so, my heroine found her escape - and her
love - in a beautiful snow-covered setting.
If you can't physically get away, I hope
you'll pick up a book - one of my romances,
of course - and let yourself escape into
a world where your problems are set aside
for a few hours and love always wins.
